Welcome back to a busy but exciting final term in year three.  I hope you are ready to join us on a thrilling journey into the summer term, where the children will be participating in their first school swimming lessons, sports day and other exciting activities during this term.

This term the children will begin a new creative curriculum historical topic on the theme of ‘the Anglo-Saxons’.  They will explore the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons, their settlements, culture, art and village life. 

During the final term, the children will begin a geographical topic called ‘Recycling’.  They will research and understand the effects of waste on the environment and learn why it is important to recycle. They will learn to recognise that environments can change and that this can sometimes pose dangers to living things, whilst understanding that the Earth’s resources are finite.

In the subject of science, the children will be focusing on Plants – and the area of Structure, Growth and Transport of Water. Then, after half-term, they will finish with Flowers and Life Cycle of Plants.

This term, the children will start their swimming and water safety unit.  This unit is for five weeks in year three and will then be continued again in years four, five & six. The children, once assessed, will be either learning to swim or refining their swimming skills in the pool at Waendal Leisure Facility each Thursday afternoon.

Our other PE lesson will also be on a Friday morning.

Dates for your diary.

Swimming begins for 3JW on the 30^th of April.

However, if you have any concerns or problems in the meantime, then please do not hesitate to contact me or Terri Baker.

Warmest regards
