Dear Kingfishers,
Welcome back Kingfishers! We have an exciting Spring term ahead. We will be going on a faith tour to deepen our understanding of different beliefs, and we are looking forward to taking part in the Sing On concert later in the term.
In Science, we will be learning all about plants, exploring how they grow and what they need to survive. Our Geography topic is Antarctica, where we will discover what makes this continent so unique. In History, we will be travelling back in time to learn about the Anglo-Saxons and their impact on Britain.
We can’t wait to get started on another busy and enjoyable term of learning together!
English: Stone Age Boy
This term, we’ll journey back in time with Stone Age Boy, stepping into a world of caves, hunters, and early human life. As we follow the story, we’ll use it to inspire our writing, learning how to create vivid descriptions that bring the Stone Age to life. We’ll practise writing engaging sentences using the past tense, helping us to clearly retell events from long ago. We’ll also explore how to write effective instructions and explanations, imagining what it was like to survive in the Stone Age and sharing ideas clearly with our readers. Get ready for a prehistoric adventure filled with imagination, history, and exciting new writing skills!
Maths:
This year, we’ll dive into a world of numbers, puzzles, and problem-solving as we build confidence in every corner of maths. From mastering multiplication and division to exploring fractions, shapes, and clever mental strategies, Year 3 is all about discovering that maths is everywhere—and it can be exciting! Through practical activities, games, and real-life challenges, we’ll learn to think like mathematicians, spot patterns, and tackle problems with growing independence. Get ready to stretch your brain and enjoy the adventure of maths!
History: How different was the way of life after the Romans left?
This term, we’ll travel back over 1,500 years to uncover the clues the Anglo-Saxons left behind after the Romans left Britain. From buried treasures and ancient settlements to everyday objects and place names we still use today, history gives us evidence of a time that helped shape the country we know now. In this unit, we’ll explore who the Anglo-Saxons were, where they came from, and what life was like in their villages and kingdoms, piecing together the past just like historians and detectives searching for clues from long ago.
Geography: Who lives in Antarctica?
This unit will take us on an icy adventure as we explore who lives in Antarctica and why people choose to travel to the coldest place on Earth. From scientists and researchers to support teams working at remote research stations, we’ll discover how humans survive in such an extreme environment. As young geographers, we’ll investigate life in Antarctica, learn how people adapt to freezing temperatures and long periods of darkness, and uncover why this unique continent is so important for scientific research and protecting our planet.
Science: Plants
Get ready to dig, plant, and grow your way through an exciting journey into the world of plants! This unit will turn you into a mini scientist as we explore how plants grow, what they need to stay healthy, and the important jobs different parts of a plant do. Through hands-on investigations, careful observations, and fun experiments, we’ll discover how seeds sprout, how water travels through plants, and why plants are so important for life on Earth. Let’s get ready to explore, grow, and be amazed!

The timetable for the week is below.
