Welcome to Picasso - Year 3!

Welcome to the Picasso Class Page

There are many adults that will be part of the Picasso Team this year.  The teachers are Mrs Smith and Mrs Jacob, who will be sharing the privilege of teaching this amazing group of children.  Mrs Sibley is the LSA and Mrs Bates is the morning SNA.  The afternoons are shared between SNAs Mrs Nevitt and Mrs Sewell. 

Welcome back to the Summer term!

Our concept this term is unity. We will be exploring what this means to us, how we show it and the impact this concept can have on our daily lives at home and at school.

RE learning focusses on Understanding Christianity – God and Incarnation. This topic includes exploring the Holy Trinity, enquiring into the symbolism of water and writing our own Grace.

Unity is our key concept evident in our other areas of learning. We are linking the seasons of spring and summer with our Science topic: plants. We will be investigating different growing conditions and also thinking about key parts of plants. Designing, making (and of course tasting!) bread will be the main focus of our DT learning. In Geography, unity will be shown as we use atlases to study our continent of Europe.

Our P.E. units this term are tennis where we will develop our forehand skill and apply this to a game situation and OAA (Outdoor Adventurous Activity) orienteering and problem solving. In this unit they will be introduced to the concept of a map and plan and use it to follow a route and find different points. Children will explore the world of coding in our computing lessons. The children will use the language related to programming and will design and create an interactive scene. Online Safety will cover the importance of writing appropriate emails. We are thoroughly enjoying our fun French learning and this term’s emphasis is on fruit and food. For our music sessions this term we will be having Hampshire Music services to teach us to play tuned percussion. For RSHE, we will be learning about internet safety and harm, then physical health and fitness.
