Willow

 

WELCOME TO

WILLOW CLASS!

We are the Year Three Children!

Our teacher is Mrs Sherlock.

This term our topic is 'Through the Ages'.

                 

Welcome back! And welcome to the first term of Willow Class!

In Year 3 this term, our topic is 'Through the Ages'. In history, we will be learning about the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age and understanding how and why life changed. We will also be having a visitor into school to deliver a Stone Age workshop! This will link with our DT topic where we will be making Iron Age bannock bread. In geography, we will be learning about how the features of the natural world influence where we make settlements and how some physical features may cause people to move to new settlements. In science, we will be studying States of Matter (solids, liquids and gases) where we will be understanding how materials can change into a different state, and Animals Including Humans where we will be creating food chains and learning about teeth and how to keep them healthy.

To link with our topic, we will be reading 'The Wild Way Home' by Sophie Kirtley, 'Stone Age Boy' by Satoshi Kitamura and 'How to Wash a Wooly Mammoth' by Michelle Robinson. These texts will give us lots of inspiration for our English work throughout the term. We will also be using 'Stone Age Boy' for our artwork this term as we will be using textiles to retell the story. 

I can't wait to see the work the children produce in their first term of Y3!
