Autumn 2

In Literacy, we will be reading traditional stories in the style of ‘Folk Tales’. We will use Talk for Writing to learn the story 'The Greenling’, then we will write our own version. We will be identifying our favourite words and phrases from the story and considering dialogue, which will be punctuated using inverted commas. We will be writing  complex sentences using a comma where the subordinating clause comes first. We will learn about subordination for reason and develop characters with the story.  We will also sequence events in our stories.

In Maths, we are learning how to solve problems using our knowledge of multiplication and division.  In year 3 we learn the x3 x4 and x8, as well as revising x2 x5 x10 and the division facts. Children can practice their times tables using TTRockstars.
