This half term our topic is Continents and Oceans! We will be completing mapwork, finding out about different continents, comparing oceans and researching the marine life of the Great Barrier Reef. We will also be linking some exciting English, Science and DT lessons to this topic. In Maths we will be starting with money...hands up who has actually been in a shop and used money over the past few months!? If you have any (quarantined) coins at home, show your children and play some counting / shopping games with them. Here is a link to our Curriculum Map so you can see all the fantastic things we are learning about this half-term: http://www.st-marys-cannock.staffs.sch.uk/admin/ckfinder/userfiles/files/Y3%202019%2020/Summer%202020%20year%203/Y3%20june/Y3%20july/Year%202%20202021/Y2%20October/November/Curriculum%20Jigsaw%20Y2%20Spring%201%202021.docx

Cuddle up on a winter evening with a blanket and a good book! Enjoy and keeeeeeeep reading!
