Welcome to 3OC! 

In our class page, you will find links to home learning documents (homework and spellings) as well as links to our topic knowledge organisers. We will also keep you up to date with key events happening within the class and curriculum information. 

We have got off to a brilliant start to the school year and are looking forward to the exciting things Year 3 has in store! 

Got any ideas for our class page or things you'd like to see? Let Miss Carr know! 

Back to School Afternoon

Thank you to all of those who were able to join us for our 'Back to School' parent's afternoon. We had a fantastic afternoon creating a suitcase for Paddington Bear and getting to know some of our amazing Amberley families. 

Reading

In Year 3, we love reading and promote a continued love of reading every day. Children love to choose a book from our class library for free-reading time. Our class reader for this term is currently Squirrel and Duck: Mission Improbable, by Tom Percival. We are lucky enough to have an author visit with him very soon to find out more about his books.

We are looking forward to some of the author visits/ events that we have coming up this year. Parents will be notified of any upcoming dates.

We also love a trip to our local library. We enjoy discussing different genres of books, listening to a book and then choosing our own to take back to school. We also found lots of great books about our current topic!

Music

This half term our Music unit is Latin Dance. Our musical focus includes salsa, beat, clave rhythm, timbre, chords, rhythms and pattern. 

Geography

Our current Geography topic is 'Active Earth'.  

We will be learning about how volcanoes are formed, tectonic plates, layers of the earth, what causes earthquakes and the ring of fire.

Maths

We have already delved deep into our maths learning this year! Our first topic is place value, and we have been working hard to cross hundred boundaries by adding two digit numbers.

In Autumn term, we have been learning all about 3-digit numbers. We have thought about the importance of place value, partitioning numbers, adding hundreds, tens and ones to 3-digit numbers and working on plotting numbers on a number line up to 1000.

We have started working on shapes, angles and turns.
