Welcome to 3KY's class page!!
Welcome back to another busy but exciting final term in year three. I hope you are ready to join us on a thrilling journey into the summer term, during which the children will be participating in their first school swimming lessons, sports day, and other exciting activities.
This term the children will be looking at the history topic of 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 Science; the children will be addressing areas already covered in this past year. The children will be extending their knowledge on light, forces, plants & rocks, and soils.
In PE this term the children will be taking part in different athletic events on Wednesday afternoon and working on their agility and balance skills on a Friday morning. You will need to come to school in your PE kit (black shorts or bottoms, a white t-shirt and trainers) on these days. No football shirts are to be worn. Please can you make sure that no jewellery (including earrings) is worn on these days and that long hair is tied up.
After the half term break, children will be starting their swimming and water safety unit. This unit is for five weeks in year three and will be then 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 Centre, each Wednesday morning.
We LOVE reading at Park and really want you to as well! We would love it for you to read at home, listen to adults reading and even listen to audio books. Make sure you continue to track your reading at home.
If you have any concerns or questions in the meantime, then please do not hesitate to get in touch.
