Summer 1 

Miss Peters and Mrs Truesdell

Welcome to Year 3!

Key information for our class is below.

For full information about the whole curriculum for Year 3, please visit the link to the curriculum page below. There is a whole curriculum overview which gives you the headlines for each subject for the whole year.

Welcome to Summer 2!  We are really looking forward to welcoming you back after the May half term and getting stuck into the last half of the summer term. With the weather getting warmer it is important to have a water bottle every day. 

With that in mind, as we know the weather can be very unreliable, but as an OPAL school the children will still go out to play when it is raining. On those days they still need a coat and wellies. 

Here are some of the highlights of our curriculum this half term: 

  • English: Our reading and writing will be based on the book 'Kaspar The Prince Of Cats" by Micheal Morpurgo.

  • Maths: Fractions, shape and time 

  • Science: Forces   

  • History: Ancient Greek Civilization  

  • Art: sculpture- clay

  • RE-Hinduism 

  • Music- traditional instruments and improvisation
