This term our topic is:
Who First Lived In Britain?
Welcome to Year 3 - Dove Class!
This half-term we will be considering who first lived in Britain and what life was like then. We will be looking at the changes in early human settlements in Britain from the Stone Age to the Iron Age.
Children will look at timelines that examine how early humans developed their tools, technology, religion, settlements and what daily life was like. This will start in the Paleolithic Era and move through the Mesolithic, Neolithic eras into the Bronze Age and finally the Iron Age.
We will examine how archaeologists find the information and use this to paint a better understanding of life in early Britain.

In KS2, children will be asked to complete the following pieces of homework on a weekly basis:
In addition to the above, you may be asked to complete topic-based homework such as a piece of art or conduct some research at home. When this happens, your class teacher will post instructions via the class Dojo page.
Every child in Years 2-6 have their own Times Tables Rock Stars log in which can be accessed via: https://play.ttrockstars.com/auth. It is recommended that they take a little and often approach, aiming for 3-4 minutes, 5 times a week. The children will be rewarded with certificates- if they earn them- every Thursday. In order to move up to a new Rock Status, they need to play on ‘Studio’. After every 10 games, a new average score will be calculated which may lead to a change in their status.
Our focus is on the 8 times tables this half term.
Your child will bring home a book banded book in addition to a library book. The book banded book gives you an indication as to where your child is in terms of age related. By the end of Year 3, ideally your child will be on ‘brown’ book band. The children do not need to wait to be told to change their books, they may do so when they see fit.
Year 3 will have P.E. on Mondays. Please ensure that your child comes to school dressed in their PE kits. Earrings should be removed at home or a letter obtained from the office if ears are newly pierced.
The value of the month is Teamwork and we will be having dedicated assemblies on the value of the month.
PE will be Monday mornings. Please send your child in PE kit.
Please check Class Dojo regularly for updates, photos and information.
