Term 1- Welcome to year 3!
Welcome to Year 3! We are so excited to have you join us for an exciting and fun-filled year of learning and discovery. This year, we’ll be travelling back in time to explore some fascinating periods in History. First, we’ll begin with the Stone Age, discovering how early humans lived, hunted, and created tools. You’ll learn what life was like thousands of years ago and how people survived using the world around them.
Later in the year, we’ll explore the wonders of Ancient Egypt. From the mighty pyramids to mysterious mummies and powerful pharaohs, we’ll uncover the secrets of this amazing civilization.
In English, we’ll dive into some brilliant books. We’ll start with How to Wash a Woolly Mammoth, a fun and playful guide that will help us practise giving instructions and build our writing skills. Then, we’ll read The Boy Who Stole the Pharaoh’s Lunch, which ties perfectly into our Egyptian studies and offers a fantastic adventure. Finally, we’ll enjoy Varjak Paw, a thrilling story about a young cat on a brave journey of discovery.
We can’t wait to go on this learning adventure with you. Welcome to year 3!
