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 motivation. We will be thinking about what this means, how we show it and the effect it has on other people. RE learning addresses Creation and Fall allowing children to really immerse themselves in the Christian concept of God's wonderful world. Daily worship is carried out and we hope to have lots of eager volunteers ready to be the class prayer leader. 

Our curriculum revolves around this concept and also looks at other areas. In History, we will be learning about prehistoric Britain, from the Neolithic to the Iron Age. In Art, we will be considering the works of our class namesake, Pablo Picasso, and creating our own self-portraits in his colourful style. Science will see us learning about forces and magnets so we will be involved in lots of practical investigations. PE learning will keep us active with some invasion games (netball) and an indoor session of Gymnastics focussing on using cannon and unison. In Computing, the children will adore using adventure games and simulations. Our PSHCE focuses very closely on inclusive and respectful relationships; this is very important for this stage of the term. To kickstart our French learning, the children will be exposed to French instructions and vocabulary throughout the weeks as well as during the lesson itself. Our Music is a unit concentrating on the wonderful song - Let Your Spirit Fly. Ask your child for a rendition!
