Welcome to Year 3! We have started the year by learning about our new class birds and settling in with some team building activities. 

Our History is all about: Would you prefer to live in the Stone Age, Bronze Age or Iron Age? 

The key questions we will be investigating are: 

• How long ago did Prehistoric man live? 
• What does Skara Brae tell us about life in the Stone Age? 
• Who was this Bronze Age man? 
• What was the impact of bronze in Prehistoric Britain? 
• How did trade change lives in the Iron Age? 
• What changed between the Stone Age and the Iron Age? 

Our Science is all about: Movement and nutrition. This will include learning about skeletons, muscles and balanced diets alongside developing scientific skills such as sorting, comparing and questioning data. 

Also in Art this term we will be looking at water colour painting and looking at the artist Paul Klee. 

We will start our first unit, J’Appends le Francais (I’m learning French) in French. 

In PE, we will be learning some disco dance moves and playing some invasion games. 

In RSE and PSHE we will be examining the connection between the mind and body by recognising and describing a wide range of emotions and feelings. The key questions we will be exploring are:

• How do emotions affect my body?
• How can I tell how someone else might be feeling?

• How are my mind and body connected?
• How does sleep help my mind and body?
• What can I do when I experience strong emotions?
• When should I ask an adult for emotional support?

This term we will be exploring the question ‘What makes us human?’ in RE. This will include interpreting and using art to express beliefs about spirituality, inner self and the soul.

Term 1 will have our first visit to Hortham Farm for some exciting forest school sessions.
