Year 3

We hope you have had a wonderful Easter break and are ready for a new term jam-packed with lots of fun and interesting topics.

Here are our wider curriculum topics for this half term:

Geography – The River Nile

 

Get ready to take a journey to Egypt down the River Nile…

In geography, we will jump in a felucca and go on a journey of discovery up and down the River Nile! This topic will teach the children everything they need to know about the River Nile and its impact on Egypt. They will learn to locate the River Nile on a world map and identify the countries it runs through, identify the source and mouth of the river, investigate its main physical and human features, and much more. This will link nicely with our Ancient Egypt History topic in summer 2.

Here is a link to an eBook to learn more information!

 

Science – Plants

 

Art – Plant Art

We are plant artists!

In Art, we will immerse the class in the beauty of nature. Children will be introduced to a variety of plant-themed artworks created by famous artists, and encouraged to express their opinions of them. They will learn how to make careful observations, mix different tints, shades and tones of colour, and create the illusion of depth within a picture. They will also have the opportunity to create their own 3D flower sculpture from clay and practise the skill of printing learned last term.
