Welcome to Picasso - Year 3!

Welcome to the Picasso Class Page!

Welcome to Year 3: We are really looking forward to working, learning and getting to know each other in year 3 as the children embrace their first year in Key Stage 2.

Our key concept this half term is families. We will be considering what this means to us personally and how our school values fit in with this understanding. Children will write a letter to a family member explaining how important they are and what family means to them.

RE focusses on the Jewish festival of lights – Hanukkah. Our learning journey will see the children really immerse themselves in this family tradition. Your respectful children are showing mature and sensitive attitudes to our daily worships too. Our curriculum revolves around our concept and also looks at other areas.

In Geography, we will be learning about our European neighbours, their location, features and capital cities. In Design Technology, we will be researching, designing and creating our own Roman catapults. For our indoor PE sessions, we will be dusting off our (imaginary!) dancing shoes as we choreograph and perform dances inspired by the Stone Age. For our outdoor session we will be learning hockey skills. In Computing, we will be considering how we send appropriate emails safely. Our RSHE centres on caring friendships and online relationships. It really is vital that our young people are aware of how to protect themselves and others in our increasingly digital society. We are building on our French vocabulary from last term and will also be introducing festive words to allow children to start using simple grammatical structures. Glockenspiels will be used in our Music learning with a topic that specifically focusses on using this piece of tuned percussion. Animals, skeletons and movement is our exciting Science topic this term.

The Autumn newsletter sent out in September will give you more information about what we will be doing this term.
