Welcome to the Spring Term in Year 3.

Our theme is ‘Stone Age Survivors’, and forms part of the whole school topic - Ten Texts - in which each class chooses ten books which are linked to their topic.

In the first half of the term we will be using the text 'Stone Age Boy' as a starting point.

To introduce our theme, we are very lucky to be having a Palaeolithic (Stone Age) prehistory workshop. It is a half-day session, divided into two practical sessions with break/playtime in between, covering archaeology, chronology, evidence-based learning, Palaeolithic lifestyles, and hands-on history including artefact handling and recording. 

Have a look at our Spring term topic web to see what we have got planned. If you can help us in our quest to give the children a Primary Education they will never forget, rich with diverse opportunities and experiences, please share any information, expertise or resources you feel are relevant to our topic. It is a working document which may be amended as our interests develop.

As a class, we have discussed and choosen a range of activities to be included in our takeaway homework.

Our scheduled PE days are a Wednesday and Friday but we ask that you please ensure your labelled kit is in school throughout the week as we aspire to be as active as we can and some weeks these days may differ.

Please can you also ensure that the children have art shirts in school. An old, oversized T-shirt is perfect. We will be using acrylic paints, so it is important that the children’s clothes are well protected.

The children have now received their new reading diaries. Each child should bring their diary and current reading book to school every day.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me via the school office or when collecting your child at the end of the school day.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Mrs. Smith and Miss Young
