What we've been up to so far in Year 3!

Welcome to the summer term in Year 3, where our exciting topic is 'Brighton Rocks'! This term, we will embark on an engaging journey through the rich history of our beloved local city, Brighton.

Our young historians will dive deep into how Brighton has evolved over the ages, starting from its pre-historic roots through to the bustling Victorian era, and discovering the vibrant seaside holiday destination it is today. We will explore what makes Brighton so special and unique, considering its stunning geographical features as well as the incredible human stories that have shaped our community.

To enhance their learning experience, we are thrilled to announce a visit to the Brighton Museum and Art Gallery, where students will connect with our city’s past and present firsthand. In addition to our history studies, the children will engage in various subjects that complement our topic. In Science, they will investigate the fascinating world of plants. Our French lessons will introduce them to simple conversational skills, including asking 'How are you?' In RE, we will learn about Sikhism, fostering an appreciation for diverse cultures and beliefs. Creativity thrives in our Design Technology sessions, where students will design and create their very own tote bags to celebrate 'Brighton Rocks.' And in Music, the children will embark on a musical journey as they learn to play the ukulele, adding a melodic touch to our exploration of Brighton’s vibrant culture.

We are looking forward to a fun and informative term filled with learning, creativity, and connection to our local community. Thank you for your continued support as we discover all that Brighton has to offer!

 

WOW Moments 24-25
CAVE PAINTING: To kick start our Stone Age topic the children in Year 3 went on an exicting cave painting hunt around the school. They found lots of different types of images that ancient humans painted. These included horses, hands and even woolly mammoths! The children then used this inspiration to create their very own cave paintings at the start of our topic!
 
"The children were very excited a hunt around the school for the cave art and loved creating their own!"  Mrs McHugh, Year 3 teacher.
