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 guide book for looking after a cloud. This will involve a focus on instruction writing. The stimulus for our unit is Lucy and the Cloud. In our sessions we will be revising our grammar learning from Year 2 whilst also starting to think about the year 3 grammar curriculum. We will also be writing a poem inspired by The Magic Box which is written by Kit Wright. We will be performing this poem in our harvest festival at the end of term. 

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 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?"

It should be a fun filled term and I can't wait to get started! See you all on Thursday 3rd September!
