As we work towards Easter, Year 3 have lots of exciting learning taking place.

 

HISTORY

 

We continue our chronological journey of British History by learning about the invasion of the Romans to England. We will look at evidence from the time, and answer enquiry questions such as 'Why were the Roman Army so successful?' We will also look at the effect the Romans had on where we live in the North West and look into any resistance against the Romans.

 

 

SCIENCE

In Spring 2 we are learning all about 'Sailing through Time.' This links to the National Science Week Unit of work for 2024.

Our objectives:  

  • I can identify the suitability of materials for a purpose.

  • I know some forces need contact between two objects.
  • I can use my knowledge of forces to explain how a sailboat functions.  
  • I can use my knowledge of forces to explain how a paddle boat functions.
  • I can create a boat that uses a propeller.

RE

Our Christian Value in R.E. this half term is FORGIVENESS. We will be thinking about this at all times and discussing experiences we have. We will share how we can serve God by always believing in ourselves and others to become a good citizen. We will talk about how we can can show forgiveness when working and playing hard. We will discuss what it means and what qualities Jesus would like us to have in order to be a successful with this value.  

In class we will be learning: How do festivals and worship show what matters to a Muslim? 

The main aims of this units are:

  • Make sense of belief:
    • Identify some Jewish beliefs about God, sin and forgiveness and describe what they mean.
    • Make clear links between the story of the Exodus and Jewish beliefs about God and his relationship with the Jewish people.
    • Offer informed suggestions about the meaning of the Exodus story for Jews today.
    Understand the impact:
    • Make simple links between Jewish beliefs about God and his people and how Jews live (e.g. through celebrating forgiveness, salvation and freedom at festivals)
    • Describe how Jews show their beliefs through worship in festivals, both at home and in wider communities

ART

In Art we will be enjoying some cross curricular work by creating Roman Soldiers sketching Roman Mosaics and Roman Shields, this links with our work in History for the term.
