Year 3
Spring 2 Home Learning
Dear parents/carers,
Welcome to our Year Three Spring 2 newsletter.
Our topic for this term is all about Greece!
As geographers, we will be learning about:
• Where Greece is
• What landmarks can be found there
• Its physical features including mountains
• Comparing Greece with the UK
English
In English, we will be basing our work for the first part of the half term around the book, Matilda. We are looking forward to delving into the characters and doing lots of oracy. In writing, we will be writing a character description of Miss Trunchbull.
As well as this, we will also be using what we have learned in our geography lessons to create a travel brochure persuading people to visit Greece.
Maths
In maths, we will be looking at angels and fractions.
You can practice these two topics here:
BBC Bitesize - Lines and Angles
Let’s get cooking!
In D.T, we will be cooking up a storm and making our very own savoury tarts! We will be experimenting with different flavours and evaluating our tasty treats.
Family Challenge

Make sure you send your photos in so we can see your family creations!
