Year 3

Welcome to Year 3!

 We will be learning and exploring about the Indus Valley. We will be learning and exploring about why the Indus Valley civilisation was considered very advanced, what was happening in Britain when the Indus Valley civilisation was at its most powerful, understand how archaeologists have helped us know what happened in Ancient Egypt, Ancient Sumer, the Indus Valley and the Shang Dynasty many years ago, know where the Indus Valley is and know about what happened there 5000 to 3000 years ago and also study how the Indus Valley civilisation created their towns and cities.

We will also be learning about forces. We will learn about what is a force, what is a magnet and how pulleys work.

This term P.E will be on a Tuesday afternoon and on a Wednesday morning. Our P.E teacher will be leading the sessions Please can children make sure they come to school in their full P.E kits on these days. Children should wear plain black leggings or joggers, white t-shirt and a plain black sweatshirt or hoody. Trainers must be worn during PE sessions.

The children will also receive a weekly guitar lesson this year. Our music teacher will come to school every Tuesday for the session. The children are really excited to start their guitar lessons this year. I’m sure they will tell you all about it after the sessions.

Children are expected to take their book bags home and bring the back to school the next morning on a daily basis. Children need to make sure they read at home on a regular basis. I also expect children to practise their spellings as they will be tested on these in school and also make sure they are regularly practising their timetables.

If you have any questions or wish to discuss your child’s learning, please see me or any member of the Year Three team before or after school. We are always happy to share the exciting learning of the children.
