WELCOME TO

WILLOW CLASS!

We are the Year Three Children!

In Year 3, our topic is The Ruthless Romans. In History, we will be exploring the rise of the Roman Empire and the impact the Romans had on Britain. We will learn about daily life in Roman towns and how society was structured as well as understanding why the Roman army was so effective. This will link with our art topic where we will be creating Roman style mosaics. In Geography, we will be learning about Italy. We will be looking at the physical features of the country as well as the Italian culture and comparing the country to the UK. In Science, we will be studying rocks and fossils and understanding how different rocks are formed, what their properties are and what they are used for as well as learning how fossils are created and why they are important. 

To link with our topic, we will be reading 'Queen of Darkness' by Tony Bradman and 'Escape from Pompeii' by Christina Balit. 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 in their first term of Year 3!

• Please bring a named water bottle to school each day.
• Children can bring a healthy snack to have mid-morning if they wish.
• Maths homework and spellings will be sent home weekly and will be due in every Thursday when the children will also complete their weekly times table test and arithmetic test.
• Keep reading regularly at home to receive a free Bookworm book in assembly! (5 reads a week for 10 weeks).
