WELCOME TO

WILLOW CLASS!

We are the Year Three Children!

Welcome back to the final term in Willow Class!

In Year 3 this term, our topics are based around Nottinghamshire and Animals. In geography, we will be learning about how and why Nottinghamshire changed over time - with a focus on Sherwood Forest - and the importance of the River Trent on the expansion of the city. In History, we will learn about Nottinghamshire mining where we will have a visit from an ex miner from Bilsthorpe Heritage Museum and take a trip to the National Coal Mining Museum in Wakefield. This will link with our DT topic where we will be designing and making mine shaft pulleys. In Science, we will be studying Living Things and Their Habitats and Animals Including Humans. Children will learn about how to classify animals, the importance of nutrients and how skeletons and muscles work together to keep the body moving. 

To link with our Animals topic, we will be reading 'Fantastic Mr Fox' by Roald Dahl and 'The Last Bear' by Hannah Gold as well as information books and poetry around plastic pollution. These texts will give us lots of inspiration for our English work throughout the term. 

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