Welcome to Picasso - Year 3!

Welcome to the Picasso Class Page!

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 unities.

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, before moving onto Rocks and Soils. 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 and tag rugby, specifically throwing and jumping. 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, Reflect, Rewind and Replay, this Unit of Work consolidates the learning that has occurred during the year. All the learning is focused around revisiting songs and musical activities, a context for the History of Music and the beginnings of the Language of Music.

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