WELCOME TO

WILLOW CLASS!

We are the Year Three Children!

Our teacher is Mrs Sherlock.

This term our topic is 'People on the Move'.

Welcome back to our final term in Willow Class!

In Year 3 this term, our topic is 'People on the Move'. In history, we will be learning all about the Anglo-Saxons and the Vikings and their struggle for power in Britain. To link with our learning, we will be making model longships in DT and testing how waterproof our models are. In geography our topic is 'Extreme Earth'. We will learn about natural disasters like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis, and understand how they affect where people choose to settle. In science, we will be studying 'plants' in the first half term, which will link with our art topic on Georgia O'Keefe where we will use watercolours to paint flowers and then create 3D sculptures of flowers too. In our final half term, we will be learning about the damaging effects of plastic pollution and the ways in which we can prevent it getting worse. 

To link with our topic, we will be reading 'How to Train Your Dragon' by Cressida Cowell, 'Tuesday' by David Wiesner and 'Journey' by Aaron Becker. These texts, along with our learning in the other curriculum areas, 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!
