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. 

Our concept this half-term is DUTIES. This builds on our concept from last half-term, unity, as we seek to improve our understanding of how we can all work together in our own personal and collective duties. 

RE learning focusses on the Gospel, particularly exploring what kind of world did Jesus want? We will understand that Christians believe that Jesus challenges everyone about how to live. Children will also be identifying the gospels and appreciating the principle of love within the Christian faith.

Our Science learning focuses on light, how we see things and experimenting with shadows. We are eagerly anticipating continuing our DT topic of bread, particularly the tasting part! In History, our duty to commemorate Founder’s Day is in addition to our learning about the impact of the Roman invasion of Britain.

In PE, we will be focusing on athletics, specifically throwing and jumping and dance (focusing upon Wild animals). Using PurpleMash’s 2Question program in Computing, children will become proficient in creating, using and debugging branching databases. We will be thinking about identifying ‘spoof’ online material, recognising age restrictions and considering how the internet is an effective communication tool. French this term will concentrate upon weekdays, months and food.

Our Music learning will continue with Hampshire Music service which will focus on tuned percussion.

Our duty towards ourselves in maintaining our own health is addressed in RSHE, as is basic first-aid.
