Cave Art

This term our topic is The Stone Age, which we have been exploring in both History and Art.

We have looked at cave paintings which originated from the Stone Age and we have been trying to replicate the art made thousands of years ago! We used stencils, charcoal and blending techniques to recreate the handprints on Stone Age cave painting!

In the Jungle!

In our writing, we have been learning about setting descriptions in narrative texts.

We have used a range of word classes, including nouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs and prepositions, to create a vivid image of the setting in the mind of our reader.

We applied our learning to a jungle setting and have made a fantastic jungle display showcasing our amazing setting descriptions!

For our Science topic ‘Magnets and Forces’, Year 3 have been learning about friction and how it affects moving objects. We set up an investigation to find out how an object moves on different surfaces. We found out that smoother surfaces create less friction, allowing an object to travel further.

In Music, Class 1 have been learning how to play the recorder! We have been practising finger placement to make different notes and we cannot wait to perform to the rest of Year 3 at the end of term! Class 2 are looking forward to their recorder lessons in Spring Term!

Welcome back to the new school year! We hope the children are well and are looking forward to making a start on their new learning at Tipton Green Junior School.

 

The Autumn term is always a busy time for our Year 3 children who are settling in to their new school.

​

Topics

​

​We have lots of exciting topics this year, all of which deliver the programmes of study for the National Curriculum. Our topic in Autumn Term will be ‘The Stone Age’.

 

For more details about our learning this term, please see the  Curriculum Overview.

 

 

Please can we remind parents that no jewellery should be worn in school with the exception of stud earrings, and in line with Health and Safety guidelines these should not be worn on PE days. Children will be asked to remove earrings before PE sessions.

 

Please ensure that children wear the correct PE uniform for school on PE days only.

P.E
Reading and Spelling

Our Year 3 children will take home a reading band book and a library book of their choice, which they will have an opportunity to change each week. Please practise reading with your child regularly at home and make a comment in their reading record. We ask that children bring their books and reading record to school with them every day. Spellings will also be given out each week to practise at home, with a test the following week.

At Tipton Green, we are proud to be able to offer a wide range of after-school clubs each term. Please await information on the Autumn Term clubs, which will be sent out in the coming weeks.

 

We kindly ask that parents ensure all clothing is clearly labelled with your child’s name and class. Labelled water bottles should also be brought to school each day with water only, which can be refilled in class. Children are offered a slice of toast, bagel or crumpet as they arrive in the morning and fruit at break times as a healthy snack. Just a reminder that children in Key Stage 2 do not receive universal free school meals. If you think you are eligible for free school meals, please contact the school.

 

Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to speak to your class teacher, who will usually be available after dismissing the children at the end of each day. We anticipate a busy and exciting term and we thank you in anticipation of your support.
