Within Language, children will study ‘The BFG’, and will explore the themes of friendship and feelings. They will focus on writing their own character descriptions and autobiographies as well as describing a story setting . Children will also complete written work through topic activities and will be encouraged to include paragraphs, adjectives, similes and adverbs, a variety of punctuation and connectives. Guided Reading sessions will take place within class and children will work with a teacher to read a book as a group.

In Welsh the topic will be 'Yn y Ty' / 'In the House'. The children will also continue to reinforce and extend on the language patterns learnt in Year 2 during daily 'Helpwr Heddiw' sessions.

This term, Year 3 are continuing to use Numicon resources to build on and develop their mathematical skills from Year 2. Children will: build on place value knowledge to 1000; read and write numbers to 1000; use mental strategies to recall number facts to and beyond 20; identify odd and even numbers to 1000 and recall the 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10 multiplication tables.

By using practical equipment to transfer mathematical skills to a variety of everyday situations, children will develop a deeper understanding of skills and knowledge. During lessons, children will be developing their mental and practical mathematical strategies such as adding and subtracting using a number line.
