Whitehall Primary School
Welcome to Year 3's Learning Page
Here, you will find out about all our magnificent learning and educational escapades!
We will be gathering knowledge on a diverse range of topics, producing creative and engaging pieces writing, securing our times tables and delving deeper into the world of problem solving!
Literacy
We will be delving into the world of the Elizabethan’s through our key texts, poetry and plays. The children will practise skills relating to creating characters, settings and plots, leading to them writing their own stories. We will be focusing on sentence structure, punctuation and editing for our curricular target. We will also be writing non-fiction texts about The Globe Theatre and other parts of Elizabethan life.
Maths
In Maths, we will be doing measurements (length, capacity and mass.). We will also be learning about triangles and quadrilaterals and identifying vertices and right angles.
Science
This term, we will be answering questions through investigations and experiments:
How do surfaces affect how things move?
How do different forces move objects?
How can we use magnets to sort materials?
Does the sixe of the magnet affect how strong it is?
How can we use magnets? Who are scientists?
How do scientists share their ideas and develop more questions?
DT DAY
Year 3 had a DT day where we spent planning and designing a Viking house by looking at 3D shapes and nets. We then moved on to making the Viking house model where we got to used tools such as saws and glue guns. Of course, we’d like to say thank you to the parents who volunteered to spend their time in assisting the children and for helping us gather the materials needed for us to make our model. Finally, we had a chance to reflect and discuss what went well and what we could do next time as part of the evaluation process in Design and Technology.

English
In Literacy, we are learning about how to be a viking, retelling the story of Ice Palace, research and writing about a Viking God and writing an instructions on how to build a Viking house.
Maths
At the start of the term, we will be continuing to use our new vocabulary of addends, minuends and subtrahends. We will then deepen our understanding of place value and numbers to 1,000: applying these to measure. We will be furthering our knowledge and recall of multiples of 10 and 100 to add and subtract.
Science
Science teaches us all about one of the most influential female scientists of our time. Mary Anning. We will be studying different soils and rocks and conducting experiments. We will learn all about different types of fossil and how they are formed. We will also learn about different types of rock.

Water Lily Class: Dragon Egg
Heather Class
In maths, we will be adding and subtracting across 10. We will also be comparing numbers based on thousands, hundreds, tens and ones. We will also be revisiting our 2, 3, 5 and 10 times tables.
In science we are going to be investigating the wonderful world of light. We will be finding out all about light sources and tracking our shadows around the playground at different times of the day.
