Welcome to Picasso - Year 3!

Welcome to the Picasso Class Page!

Welcome back to the Summer term!

Our concept this term is Unity. We will be exploring what this means to us, how we show it and the impact this concept can have on our daily lives at home and at school.

RE learning focusses on a Whole School RE Project: Caring for Creation – Learning, Well-being, and Action. This year’s whole-school RE project is an exciting and meaningful journey that connects faith, learning, and action in ways that inspire both children and adults. Through a combination of curricular activities, personal reflection, and spiritual exploration, pupils will engage with key themes that shape our world and our well-being.

With a strong focus on Creation Care, we will explore how we can be responsible stewards of the Earth, caring for the environment and the creatures we share it with. 

Outdoor Learning will bring our learning to life, offering hands-on experiences that deepen our connection to nature and faith. Finally, we will support pupils in understanding and nurturing their mental and emotional well-being, fostering resilience, mindfulness, and a sense of belonging.

Unity is our key concept evident in our other areas of learning. In Science we will be investigating light and how it travels. We will also learn about rocks and their properties and what the earth is made from. In DT the children will design, make (and of course taste!) bread. In Geography, Unity will be shown as we learn about and locate where in the world India is. They will specifically look at the mountain ranges and rivers within India and will carry out a study of India’s capital city, New Delhi.

Our P.E. units this term are tennis where we will develop our forehand skill and apply this to a game situation and OAA (Outdoor Adventurous Activity) orienteering and problem solving. In this unit they will be introduced to the concept of a map and plan and use it to follow a route and find different points.  Children will explore the world of coding in our computing lessons. The children will use the language related to programming and will design and create an interactive scene. E-safety will cover the importance of writing appropriate emails. We are thoroughly enjoying our fun French learning and this term’s emphasis is on fruit and food. For our music sessions this term we will be having Hampshire Music services will continue to teach us African percussion. For PSHCE, we will be learning about internet safety and harm, then physical health and fitness.
