Dear Kingfishers,
Welcome new Kingfishers! We have an exciting Autumn term ahead. We will be going to Peterborough museum as part of our Romans in Britain History unit.
In Science, we will be learning all about rocks. Our Geography unit is about volcanos and why people live near them. In History, we will be travelling back in time to learn about the Romans in Britain and what they invented and left behind for us.
We can’t wait to get started on another busy and enjoyable term of learning together!
English: Mini Rabbit Not Lost
In our English lessons, we explored Mini Rabbit Not Lost by John Bond, a charming story about a little rabbit who sets off on an adventure to find the perfect present for his mum. Along the way, Mini Rabbit becomes lost in the woods and encounters a range of challenges as he tries to find his way home. We enjoyed discussing the characters, exploring the beautiful illustrations and making predictions about what might happen next. Through the story, we developed our descriptive writing skills, using expanded noun phrases, interesting vocabulary and a range of conjunctions to add detail to our ideas. We also explored themes of kindness, determination and the importance of family, using Mini Rabbit’s exciting journey as inspiration for our own creative writing.
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 do we know the Romans invaded Britain?
In History, we explored the question “How do we know the Romans invaded Britain?” We investigated a range of historical sources, including Roman buildings, roads, artefacts, coins and written accounts, to discover what life was like during the Roman invasion and occupation of Britain. We learned about the Roman army and how the Romans conquered and controlled large parts of Britain, including the reasons why they invaded. We also explored how historians use evidence to piece together the past and considered how reliable different sources can be. Through our investigations, we developed our understanding of chronology and learned how Roman influence can still be seen in Britain today.
Science: Rocks
In Science, we explored rocks and investigated how different types of rocks are formed. We learned about the three main rock groups: igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic, and explored how they are created through different natural processes. We examined and compared a variety of rocks, identifying their different properties, including their colour, texture, hardness and appearance. We also investigated how fossils are formed and discovered how they provide evidence about life in the past. Through practical investigations and observations, we developed our scientific vocabulary and learned how to make careful observations, record our findings and draw conclusions from evidence.
Use the knowledge organisers below for our subjects this term.
The timetable for the week is below.
