Picasso - Year 3

Welcome to Picasso - Year 3!

The learning in Year 3 Picasso Class is led by Miss Church with Mrs Lewis-Nelson and Mrs Iamsamang. Mrs Iamsamang will be teaching Picasso on Monday afternoons.  

Our second half term has already seen some committed learning, positive attitudes and a love of fun which typifies this wonderful group of children. 

Our key concept this half term is families. We will be thinking about what this means, whether there can be more than one meaning and the different ‘family’ groups that we think we can fit with. 

RE learning addresses the Jewish festival of Hannukah. Children can now understand this celebration as well as comparing their learning to their own, personal understandings and experiences of different celebration events. We are very enthusiastic to share our Daily Worship with the rest of the CKS family via Teams. 

Our curriculum revolves around the concept of families and also looks at other areas. In Geography, we will be considering our local area and land use. In DT, we will be exploring, designing and making our own Iron Age shoes. PE learning builds on our previous History learning, as we think about Prehistoric Britain in our Stone Age inspired dances. Outside, we will be honing out tennis skills. In Computing, the children will be exploring sound recordings – I’m expecting lots of giggles during these sessions! Our PSHCE focuses on caring friendships and respectful online relationships. To further our French learning, the children will continue our games, songs and exposure to familiar language terms. Glockenspiels will be filling the Picasso classroom with their beautiful tunes as our Music module concentrates on this percussion instrument. Investigating rocks and soils is our relevant Science focus.

In Year 3, there are four very important things that we try to remember:

-to be kind in many different ways

-to find fun in our learning

-to be honest

-to think about how special and precious we all are. 

We are staying grateful, positive and full of awe about the wonderful world around us. The emotional wellbeing of our children is of paramount importance and the Picasso Team really do hold this at the very heart of all we do.

Stage One Remote Education Support Plan - Autumn 2020

Stage One is short term Remote Education Support (RES) as most families who are awaiting Covid 19 test results are off for 2 to 3 days. 

Below you will find:

1. Concept Curriculum for the current half term.
2. Maths and English – We will be providing 3 activities i.e. up to 3 days work, that links DIRECTLY to the Maths and English planning the class will be following that week.
3. 8 (KS2) Ways at Once. This provides a range of work that fits the current class concept and work that would be covered over the half term in class. This covers most of the Foundation Subjects and will change each half term when the concept changes.

We would expect that if the child is not symptomatic that this work will be completed. If your child is poorly, we would ask you to make the judgement as to what you feel they can or can’t do.
