We Are Family - Knowledge Organiser
We are Family
This half term our focus is on family, including wider family and the local community. This is going to be taught through our English and our R.E. unit (Prayer and the community). We will focus on how Muslims and Christians pray and the things they might pray for within their community.
In English, we will be learning about family life, through a story about a family trying to get the perfect family photo. They end up going on a family trip to get the perfect picture, but will it bring them together or end in disaster...?
In Science, we will be learning about electrical appliances, circuits and conductors and insulators. We will have the opportunity to make broken and complete circuits and test good conductors and insulators.
Our Geography focuses on map skills both within the U.K and Europe.
In Year 3, children are expected to know the 2, 5, 10, 3, 4 and 8 times table. They have been learning 2, 5 and 10 in Year 2 so this year we will be learning the 3, 4 and 8 times tables. These can be found at the back of their reading diary. Children will be tested every Friday on their tables so any support you can give your child to learn them would be fantastic. They will have times tables mixed in tests to practise for the online test we do in school at the end of each term.
Your child has their TT Rockstars information at the back of their reading diary.
Thank you so much for your continued support, it is very much appreciated.

Today, we have been very lucky to have a visit from Reverend Lee to tell us about Christingle. We made Christingles to represent Christ, the world, the four seasons and the promises God has made to us. Four very brave boys read a prayer to all LKST2 in our assembly too.
