P3

Welcome back to Term 4!

Term 4 Theme

This term we are starting a new topic called Jungle Life. We are going to be looking at the different animals we might find in the jungle and learning the Makaton signs for them. Our main text will be Rumble in the Jungle where the jungle animals get up to some mischief. We have already had one animal encounter with Noah’s Ark and there is a second one scheduled before the Easter holiday.    

In maths we are focusing on number and measures. We will continue to practise our adding and subtracting as well as exploring height. 

In our PE lessons we will be doing dodgeball with the Bristol Bears who will be coming into school to run inclusive, fun sessions every week. We will also continue our own PE sessions in the hall and our weekly trips to Super Sense on a Tuesday. 

RSE  

In our RSE lessons our topic is Life Cycles.  We will be using animals such as butterflies to learn about the process of a Life Cycle.

We are hoping to start swimming this term at Henbury Leisure Centre. This is most likely to take place on a Friday afternoon. There are still a few details to complete but I will send a letter with all of the information you need once all of the arrangements have been made.
