Year 3
Welcome to Mrs Hayes' Year 3
Home Learning Page
Welcome to Home Learning in the second half of the summer term. I hope you are keeping safe and well during this difficult time. As we cannot be together as the moment, I will be using this page to post learning activities and ideas for you to complete at home. This will be updated every weekend and I will ensure there are activities and ideas to extend your imagination and your learning.
Please keep safe and look after each other - I am missing you all,
love
Mrs Hayes

Keystage 2 - Year 3 Curriculum
Year 3 pupils are taught a wide variety of subjects from the New Curriculum and are assessed throughout the year against milestone 2. Throughout lower key stage 2 they will be assessed using a basic, advancing or deep understanding of their learning, using the milestone criteria.
What subjects do we cover?
• English: Writing, Reading and Communication
• Mathematics: To know and use numbers, multiplication and division, fractions, properties of shape, position, direction and movement, measures, statistics and algebra
• Science: working scientifically, biology, chemistry and physics
• Art and Design Technology
• Computing
• Music
• History
• Geography
• Physical Education
• Religious Education
• Personal development and Citizenship, including our school Christian Values.
• MFL- French
Although there are all these discrete subjects, many are taught through a themed approach through a range of exciting topics and themes throughout the school year. In the Year 3 Class, our Christian school values are deeply embedded and every day we discuss our belief of the day which links to our focused Christian value for the half term.
Quick-fire addition questions

Buoyancy
The children made a tin foil boat and predicted how many coins it would hold. They placed their boat in water and kept adding coins until the boat sank. Using what they had observed from their first design, they made a second tin foil boat and checked whether they had improved the design.
Results:
1st - the best boat held 230 coins
2nd - the second best boat held 108 coins
3rd - the third best boat held 100 coins

Help! We are treasure hunting in South America and one of our party needs urgent medical attention as a poisonous spider has bitten them. We have no means of getting across the Amazon River to the hospital. We have lollipop sticks and elastic bands, so we are building a message-sending catapult.
