The Curriculum

Autumn term - Going Underground

In the Autumn term our topic is Going Underground. We are looking at how Britain changed through the Stone Age and Iron Age. Our trip will be to Creswell Crags on November 11th. In our Science we are focusing on plants and what makes them grow well and different types of rocks. We have also started to learn some French phrases to be able to talk about ourselves and others in French. Our book this half term is Stone Age Boy by Satoshi Kitamura. The Year 3 ‘s are settling in so well. We are proud of them.

Spring term - All Around Us

In the Spring term, our topic is All Around Us.  We will be learning about our locality, what makes up the UK and the physical and human features.  We will spend time looking at maps and using compass directions.  We will think about the weather in the UK and how to measure it during our visit to Perlethorpe on Monday 17th March. In our Science work, we will be exploring forces and magnets and thinking about light.  We will also be investigating kites in DT, which will link to our Science learning. We will be focusing on collaging in art and we will be learning how to skip in different ways in PE. Whilst 3M work on their gymnastic moves, 3H will be going swimming.  Our RSHE work this term thinks about what families are like and what makes a community.
