Autumn Term 2018
Heads and Tudor Tales!
Values – Hope and Peace
Throughout the Autumn term, children will explore the life, times and adventures
of Tudor explorers. Alongside this, children will be given the opportunity to write
creatively and take inspiration from stories such as The King’s Promise.
Spring Term 2019
I’m A Mayan: Get Me Out Of Here!
Values – Respect and Forgiveness
Throughout the Spring term, children will travel to the rainforests of the world.
We will discover how the rainforest is formed, what creatures live there, the
conditions of these tropical areas and how the rainforest helps us live our lives.
We will learn about the Mayan culture and take the opportunity to taste and
cook with foods from these exotic regions of the world.
Summer Term 2019
Veni! Vidi! Vici!
Values – Community and Faith
Throughout the Summer term, children will investigate the history and geography
of Roman Britain. We plan to inspire the children through exposure to real life
artefacts and exploration of the Roman world around us.
Class 7: 3SL/JG – Class 8: 3EY/RS – Sharry Jessica David Ellie *Further information about our new and exciting approach to reading at school will be released soon!* In Year 3, children will be learning their spellings at school so will no longer be taking spellings home to practice. Children will participate in Spellings Workshops four times each week and will work in groups that provide an appropriate level of challenge for them. Teaching of spellings and spelling patterns will follow a pattern of: Teach; Practice; Apply; Test. If you have any questions about this new approach to spellings, please see a member of the Year 3 teaching team. 2018 Mon 29th Oct – Poppy Appeal donations begin for poppy purchasing, running daily until Fri 9th Nov Mon 5th Nov – Parent Prayer Group meeting (all welcome) at The Community Centre @ 9am Tues 6th Nov – Pupil’s Individual Photos Monday 12th November – Friday 16th November – Anti-Bullying Week Fri 16th Nov – Children In Need.
