Goals for the Year

We are a class that strives to do our best and embrace challenges. The inspiring and engaging curriculum, along with the class environment, will help us develop our critical thinking skills and make sense of the world around us. We believe in a caring and supportive environment nurtured by positive relationships with our peers and all the adults that help us in year 3 and around the school. We display our class rules to remind us of our core school and christian values. We spent time thinking about your class rules and each class rule is linked to a bible scripture. Our class rules are reinforced with our rewards systems of house points and table of the week.

Curriculum Statement

In Year 3, we will enjoy an enriched and engaging curriculum where we will use our skills of investigation to explore, discover and gain knowledge on a wide range of topics. In the Autumn term, we will be giving meaning and power to our words through expressive performance poetry. As mathematicians, we will be deriving new number facts from our existing known facts, building connections between key mathematical concepts. We will be a driving force when investigating physics in our topic on forces and magnets. We will explore what it means to be a citizen of the world through geography and discover how algorithms work as we become programmers in computing. Later in the year, we look forward to dressing up and going back in time to Ancient Greece. As part of our history topic on the Hellenistic period, we will explore what life was like in Ancient Greece and learn about their belief systems, societal norms, laws and rules, their culture and much more! In a cross-curricular approach, we will be exploring Greek myths and legends in English and writing our very own Greek myth. In science, we will investigate the difference between light and dark to gain an understanding of how we see things. As part of our ‘explosive’ geography curriculum we will examine how mountains, volcanoes and earthquakes are formed. In religious education, we will enlighten our minds through our appreciation of other cultures and belief systems, as well as grow in our own spiritual and moral understanding.

PSHE

In PSHE we will be developing the life skills to support our wellbeing, encourage a positive self-identity and worth and understand how to communicate our feelings, as well as learn strategies to promote regulation and understand how to respond to some of life’s challenges in a positive and responsible way.

Workshops & Trips

In the autumn term, we spend the day living in the prehistoric period, where we find ourselves learning about what life was really like just after the Ice age. As part of our Stone Age Day, we are visited by an ancestor who explains their hunter-gatherer lifestyle in a brilliant workshop held at school. During the winter term we enjoy getting festive by going to Richmond Theatre to watch the pantomime. In the beginning of the summer term, we get to experience what life was like as an ancient Greek and we like to finish the school year off with an exciting school trip to make everlasting memories of Year 3!

Take a look at this!

Elms’ class has been noted to be a musically talented class by Ms Cowley the music teacher. They are confident speakers and enjoy presenting their ideas.
