Picasso-Year 3

Welcome to Picasso - Year 3!

Picasso Class are a class of friendly, caring and fun 7- 8 year olds plus our teacher Miss Church and our LSA Miss Stewart.

Welcome to Year 3: a new school year full of happiness, laughter and kindness. I am really looking forward to getting to know these superstars as they 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. We will be linking this concept to the 'Unlock Education' campaign.

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 I hope to have lots of eager volunteers ready to be the class prayer leader.

Our curriculum revolves around our concept and also looks at other areas. In History, we will be learning about prehistoric Britain, from the Stone Age to the Iron Age. In Art, we will be considering the works of our class namesake, Pablo Picasso, and creating our own works in his colourful style. PE learning will keep us active with an outdoor adventurous activities module and some invasion game (dodgeball and football) sessions. In Computing, the children will adore using adventure games and simulations. Our PSHCE focuses very closely on inclusive and respectful relationships - very important for this stage of term. To kickstart our French learning, the children will be exposed to French instructions and vocabulary throughout the week 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! Learning about human and animal nutrition and skeletons is the focus of our engaging Science topic.

Our Autumn newsletter will give you more information about what we will be doing this term.
