Dear Kingfishers,
Welcome back for your final term Kingfishers! We have an exciting Summer term ahead. We will be going to Chellington for your first over night residential trip. It has orienteering, pond dipping and bug hunting spread across two days.
In Science, we will be learning all about light. Our Geography unit is settlements and what they are in Britain and across the world. In History, we will be travelling back in time to learn about the Ancient Egyptians and why they were such an advance part of history.
We can’t wait to get started on another busy and enjoyable term of learning together!
English: Journey
Step into a world where a single red crayon unlocks endless possibilities. Journey sweeps you into a breath taking adventure as a lonely girl draws her way into a magical realm filled with secret doors, soaring castles, and unexpected danger. With no words—only stunning illustrations—every page invites you to imagine, explore, and discover courage in the face of the unknown. Will her drawings be enough to guide her home, or will they lead her somewhere even more extraordinary? The journey is yours to follow…
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: Why did the Egyptians stop building pyramids?
The pyramids rise… but then, they stop. What changed in ancient Egypt? Step back in time to uncover the secrets of powerful pharaohs, hidden tombs, and a mystery that has puzzled historians for centuries. Journey along the Nile, follow the clues, and discover why these incredible structures were no longer built. Was it danger, cost, or something even more surprising? The past is waiting—can you solve the mystery?
Geography: Are all settlements the same?
Are all settlements the same… or is there more to discover? Travel from tiny villages to bustling cities and uncover how people live around the world. Explore winding streets, towering buildings, and quiet countryside homes as you investigate what makes each place unique. Along the way, you’ll solve mysteries, spot differences, and discover how settlements grow and change over time. Get ready to think like a geographer—your adventure begins here!
Science: Light
What happens when the lights go out… and what brings them back? Step into the fascinating world of light and dark, where shadows stretch, reflections shimmer, and secrets are revealed in a flash. Discover how light travels, how darkness is created, and how we use light to see and explore the world around us. From glowing beams to hidden shapes, get ready to investigate, experiment, and uncover the science behind what you can—and can’t—see!
