GEOGRAPHY & ART

In year 3, we have been studying the surface of the Earth, before we delve below the surface! We have developed lots of geography skills over the last fortnight.

We can:

• Locate places on a map and use an atlas
• Draw a map from a high view point
• Recognise features from photos and label them
• Sketch from an observation
• Create a field sketch and label it
• Know why a key is needed

and all this on one page!  We also looked at our Earth from different satellite images and then tried to recreate it by printing with different materials.

SUMMER TOPIC - OUR EARTH

I hope you've all had a good holiday and are ready and raring to go on your last term as year 3's! As you know know our topic for this 1/2 term will be Our Earth. 

Based on the questions you asked at the end of last term, we will start by looking at what the Earth actually looks like, and then work our way in from its surface to the Earths core. 

Don't forget that there will be lots of resources put onto all the different blog pages to help you, whether it's PE, numeracy, literacy, topic or any of the other subjects. Do look at them regularly, you can always go over old activities to jog your memory and keep the skills you have learnt fresh in your minds.

Your new targets will also be on the numeracy & literacy pages. I will leave the old targets on them too, just to remind you of what you need to keep doing. An old target, shouldn't be a forgotten one.
