Year 3 Summer 1
Week beginning 4th May 2026
We have just started a new unit in English - dialogue. For this we will be looking at an extract from 'The Twits' where a prank occurs. To get us into the spirit of the text we went outside and tried some harmless pranks on each other. This will help inspire the year group when the come to write a dialogue about their own prank.
Week beginning 27th April
In Geography this half term, we are learning about the geography of Italy. Over the last two weeks, the children have been enjoying using maps to locate Italy's regions and cities. The childen have loved exploring the atlases and maps. Perhaps you could challenge your child to see how many Italian cities they can name? We found 15 in class.

This week in PSHE, the children have been learning about what it means to be a good friend. Through thoughtful discussions and engaging role play activities, they explored different friendship scenarios and considered how their actions can impact others.
The children acted out situations where someone might feel excluded or lonely, and worked together to identify kind and supportive ways to respond. They showed a growing understanding of empathy, inclusion, and the importance of looking out for one another.
Week beginning 13th April 2026
The children have made a fantastic start to the Summer term. In maths, we are developing our understanding of fractions. This week we have been ordering and comparing fractions. In English, we have started our new non-fiction unit, Newspaper Reports. We have been looking at a news report called Boy Wins All, based on the text that we have already learnt, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Here is our story map. I wonder if your child can recall the report?
