Welcome to Year 3

Welcome back to school Year 3. We hope you had a brilliant summer and are ready for an exciting year of learning ahead. We have lots of fun learning opportunities planned for you throughout the year and we are looking forward to getting to know you all.

Please remember to bring your bookbag each day, with your reading books inside. You will take home two reading books each week and these will usually be swapped at the beginning of each week. It's really important that you practice reading your book every day at home. Please also bring a named water bottle with you and suitable clothing for the weather.

PE days for both classes are on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Italy_Map.png

In this lesson, we used an atlas to create a layered map of Italy. On our first layer, we looked at the different regions of Italy and added the names of the regions into the correct place on the map. Secondly, we added the names of the mountains located in Italy on an additional layer. On our final layer, we added the lakes, rivers and seas that either are a part of or surround Italy. Finally, we looked at key geographical information about Italy. Then, we labelled whether it was a physical or human geographical feature and located it on our map of Italy.
