Autumn Term

In the Autumn term, Year 3 will be time travelling back to prehistoric Britain to learn about the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age. In history, the children will be given the opportunity to take on the role of an archaeologist and examine historical artefacts and sources of evidence to discover what life was like during the prehistoric Britain. As scientists, we will learn about the skeletal structure of the human body, exploring the similarities and differences with other animals as well as exploring how muscles and joints help humans move. In PE, we will be developing our fundamental movement skills in gymnastics by focusing on improving our locomotion and balance skills. The children will start their Modern Foreign Language journey by engaging with learning basic French greetings, numbers and colours. In Computing, the children will be investigating and exploring the concept of connecting computers. In Art, we will be exploring the use of colour and shape in the works of Art Deco greats (like Sonia Delaunay, Charles Catteau and Herman Sachs), before creating our own art deco masterpieces. As we near the end of the term, we’ll also be practising and performing a Christmas themed stage show for friends and family alike – stay tuned for more information.
