Year 3 – Summer 2 Week 7 (13th July 2020)

As this week is the last week of term, we have decided to focus on some fun activities to get your imagination going and some

transition activities. These can all be found on a PowerPoint presentation that is available to download from your year group

page from the website.

It is also our RE week. This half term, we are focusing on Social Justice and what different religions believe about this.

Please look at the PowerPoint entitled Year 3 and 4 RE Week for activities relating to this. We would like you to complete all

of these activities this week.

However, we are also aware that some of you would appreciate sticking with the same structure we have been using since the

beginning of lockdown and so we have also included the usual Maths, Spelling, Reading and Writing work as usual for you if

you wish to use it.

Well done for all your hard work over the last few months. We are all so proud of how you have done despite not being in

school and we look forward to hopefully seeing you all in September!
