Welcome to Term 1 in the Kestrels!

We have a very busy first term coming up.

In English we will be starting the year writing a fable narrative and non-chronological reports based on the story Fox by Margaret Wild and Ron Brooks. In our sessions we will be revising our grammar learning from Year 2 whilst also starting to think about the year 3 grammar curriculum.

In Maths we are starting off with a place value unit where we are looking at the numbers between 100 and 1000. We will then look at addition and subtraction and start to add and subtract numbers using the column method. 

In Geography our key question is "What's the same and what's different between France and the UK". During this unit we will be looking at the geography of both countries and thinking about where the important places are. We will also talk about the importance of trade and farming in both countries. 

This term we will also be starting the Year 3 Science curriculum with a focus on nutrition, skeletons and muscles and in R.E. we will begin with a unit focused on the religion of Hinduism. Our key question for this unit is "What does it mean to be a Hindu in Britain today?"

In Term 1, P.E. will be on a Monday and Tuesday afternoon so please remember to come to school in your P.E. kits on these days.

It should be a fun filled term and I can't wait to get started! See you all on Thursday 28th August!
