Class Teacher

Mr Young

Welcome to Year Three! We are so pleased that you have taken time to look at our page. In it you will find lots of information about Year Three. We have the support of Mrs Rowe.

Autumn Term

We have some exciting learning in our Autumn Term and we can't wait to get started on our Key Stage 2 journey. We start with Science by learning all about the human body and how we move and keep healthy. We also learn all about light from why it is important to stay safe in the sun, recognising the need for light and how dark is the absence of light. Then we have Geography where we are learning more about maps and exploring the differences and similarities between Russia and France. This is followed by History where we will learn all about Ancient Egypt - pharaohs, mummies, pyramids ... there is so much to explore; at this point we will also go on a school trip to the museum in Liverpool. Our Art topic focuses on structure and we will be using card to create some familiar buildings inspired by The Eiffel Tower! We will end the term with DT where our topic is cooking some delicious treats.

Spring Term

In Science we have lots of investigation work to do as we learn about plants. We move on to Geography where we learn more about the world focusing on the different hemispheres. We will explore what it is like to live in each hemisphere and what it is like to work there. We go further back in time in the Spring Term - back to the Stone Age with a topic that is a firm favourite! Cezanne and his still life work is the inspiration for our art topic before we move onto DT where we will be revisiting and improving our sewing skills.

Summer Term

Rocks and Forces and Magnets will be our Science areas of enquiry this term. In Geography we learn about extreme weather conditions including volcanos and earthquakes which is a very exciting topic! History we will study the Romans and their invasion. Through this study we will be learning more about what life was like in Britain during the Roman invasion and how it changed our lives. We will be studying warm colours and the volcano art of William Turner. In D.T. we make our very own Roman Catapults using wood and saws! In this term we will have our very first overnight trip - camping on the school field!

English texts and learning will focus around the topics above, giving the children an immersive experience and chance to deepen their understanding across the curriculum.

 Timetable

PE

P.E. will take place Thursday. The children will need to wear their P.E. kit to school on a Thursday, black joggers/shorts, the school logo PE shirt and school jumpers. Earrings will not be allowed in for PE. If your child is unable to take out their own earrings, then please take them out before school. Children with earrings will not be allowed to take part in the PE sessions and we don't want anyone to miss out.

On a Tuesday we will continue to develop our musical skills through our expert music tuition from In Harmony.

Spellings are set on Monday and will be tested the following Monday.

English and Maths homework are given on a Monday and are to be completed and handed in by Friday.

Reading 

Children are expected to read at home at least 3 times per week with an adult or an older sibling. Please write a message in your child's Reading Planner each time your child reads at home. Children will be awarded a 'Reading Dojo' at school when your comments have been read. If there are any issues with this, please speak to one of the staff members from Year 3.
