WELCOME TO
WILLOW CLASS!
We are the Year Three Children!
Happy New Year!
In Year 3, our topic for this term is Egypt, Then and Now. In History, we will be exploring Ancient Egypt. The children will explore jobs, daily life, food, beliefs, important historical figures such as Tutankhamun and Cleopatra, and they will use evidence from a range of sources to answer questions about the Ancient Egyptians. In Geography we will be exploring the importance of the River Nile and the significant role it played for the Ancient Egyptians. We will also be heading to Mansfield Museum for an Egyptian day with their practitioners.
To link with our topic, we will be reading 'Marcy and the Riddle of the Sphinx' by Joe Todd-Stanton and 'Secrets of a Sun King' by Emma Carroll. These books will give us lots of inspiration for our English work throughout the term.
I can't wait to see the work the children produce!
