Year 3

Welcome to Year 3

Year 3 is taught by Ms McNabb. She is assisted by Ms Adzic and Mr Hempstead.

Curriculum

In year 3 we have three exciting topics.

Autumn

In Pharaohs' Footsteps

Spring

Raiders and Traders

Summer

Rainforests

In our autumn topic we learn all about Ancient Egypt. We start by reading an exciting story by Brighton author Joe Todd-Stanton – Marcy and the Riddle of the Sphinx. We read other non-fiction texts about Ancient Egypt and mummification. We consolidate our learning by going on an exciting trip to the Brighton Museum where we learn to be embalmers.

During our spring term we learn about invaders to England specifically the Vikings vs Anglo Saxons. We compare the differences between the two groups and how England changed through the years both were in power. We read the non-fiction book Viking Boy and write our own non-fiction books. We look at the way the Vikings lived and fought.

In our last term we look at Rainforests and the impact that deforestation has in the world. We read two books The Kapok tree and One plastic bag, both dealing with concerns regarding the environment. We look at the issues of coco farming and finish the last topic tasting chocolate and investigating the chocolate’s coco content.
