Welcome to Year 3!
Our Year 3 class teacher's this year are:
My name is Miss Wright and I teach Newton Class in Year 6. I look after Reading and Science here at Queens and run the Let's Go Green leadership group. I have now been teaching for 8 years and have a real passion about sharing poetry with children. As well as this, I also love learning about the world, in particular the animal world and how we can look after our planet. Outside of school I enjoy playing netball and have the cutest dog called Charlie!
Hello! I'm Mr Lapworth and I teach in Year 3 Churchill Class, currently co-leading RE with Mr Chadwick. My favourite subject to teach is history, especially the Stone Age! Oh, I forgot to mention that I support the mighty Coventry City!
Hi everyone, my name is Mrs Jackson and I teach Nightingale class in year 3. I am currently in my second year of teaching and I am enjoying every minute of it.
Autumn Term Curriculum in Action
Welcome to the Year 3 Autumn term! Here’s a look at what we will be learning this term across different subjects:
English: In writing, the children will develop their storytelling skills by creating independent stories inspired by well-known fairytales. We will focus on narrative structure, descriptive language, and character development to bring these stories to life.
Maths: Our focus this term will be on place value and the fundamentals of addition and subtraction. The children will work on understanding the value of digits in numbers, as well as practising addition and subtraction strategies to solve problems confidently.
Science: In our Rocks and Fossils unit, we will explore different types of rocks, learning to compare and group them based on their appearance and properties. The children will also discover how fossils are formed and what they tell us about the past.
History: We will be stepping back in time to explore the fascinating journey from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age. The children will learn about how people lived, the tools they used, and the major changes that occurred during these periods.
R.E. (Religious Education): This term, we will explore why the changing seasons are important to different people, focusing on how various cultures and religions celebrate and observe the seasons in their traditions and festivals.
We are looking forward to a fantastic term filled with curiosity, creativity, and discovery!
Spring Term Curriculum In Action
In geography, our topic is called ‘Location, Location, Location.’ 3 travel agents have set us a competition to find the best European holiday destination for their clients. We will be looking at different countries within Europe and exploring the various borders including river, mountains and political borders. In science, our topic is ‘Smarty Plants.’ We will be learning about the different features of a plant and what plants need to grow. We will be investigating how different environments affect how well a plant grows. In R.E, we are looking at the story of Noah and how God used him.
In Spring 1, our history topic was ‘Tomb Raiders’. We became explorers and our job was to learn all about the Egyptian tombs, pyramids, the mummification progress and the Egyptian Gods to help our friend ‘Sadiki’ with his latest discovery of Hatshepsut’s tomb. In science our topic was ‘Do the Light Thing’ where we learned all about light and dark, transparency and shadows, including an investigation to see how shadows change. In R.E we learned what it is like to be a Muslim in Britain today.
