Dear Kingfishers,
Welcome back Kingfishers! We have a trip to Peterborough museum to learn about Roman life. We have some great class reading to get stuck into. In Science we move onto forces and magnets. Finally, we have our Christmas production at the end of term.
English: Winters child.
This term, we’ll step into the magical world of Winter’s Child, where frosty adventures and mysterious characters spark our imaginations. As we follow the story, we’ll learn how to write captivating speech, using the right punctuation to bring conversations to life. We’ll explore past and present tense to make our writing clear and powerful, and we’ll even discover the secrets of persuasive writing, learning how to convince a reader with brilliant ideas and bold language. Get ready for a wintery journey filled with creativity, storytelling, and sparkling new 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 do we know the Romans invaded Britain?
This term, we’ll journey back nearly 2,000 years to uncover the clues the Romans left behind when they marched into Britain. From mighty roads and crumbling ruins to glittering coins and fascinating artefacts, history gives us evidence of an empire that changed Britain forever. In this unit, we’ll explore who the Romans were, why they came, and what life was like under their rule, piecing together the story of their time in Britain just like real archaeologists and detectives of the past!
Geography: Why do people live near volcanoes?
This unit will take us on an explosive adventure as we explore the surprising reasons why millions of people choose to live in the shadow of volcanoes. From rich soils that grow the tastiest crops to natural hot springs, volcanoes offer incredible benefits, alongside dramatic risks. As young geographers, we’ll investigate real-life volcanic communities, uncover the science behind eruptions, and discover how people adapt to living so close to one of nature’s most powerful forces.
Science: Forces and magnets.
Get ready to push, pull, slide, and spin your way through an exciting journey into forces and magnets! This unit will turn you into a mini scientist as we explore how objects move, why some things speed up or slow down, and what makes magnets attract or repel. Through hands-on investigations, fun experiments, and plenty of surprises, we’ll discover the invisible forces that shape the way things work in our world. Let’s get ready to test, explore, and be amazed!

The timetable for the week is below.
Kind Regards
