Year 3 - Summer 2
How Does Your Garden Grow?
We will spend our final half-term exploring the Learning Question 'How Does Your Garden Grow?'. We will use our scientific skills to dissect a flower to identify and label its parts and their function. We will look at how a plant transports water to live. We will investigate which foods are grown either as a food direct to the table or as an ingredient. Warburtons Bakery will visit us in school to bake bread and look at where the flour comes from. We will put our 'artist's hats' on to observe and sketch plants carefully and to paint in the style of the artist, Georgia O'Keefe. In English, we will will explore more unusual fairy tales and in maths we will re-visit number and measure topics.

Who Were The Romans?
This half-term we will be considering the Learning Question Who Were the Romans? We will be looking at the growth of the Roman Empire, it's rulers and army and it's enemies. We will look at how the army were so organised and efficient and we will welcome a Roman Soldier into school to teach us about life as a foot soldier during that era. We will also learn about Boudicca and why she was loved and hated in equal measure...
Look at the Easter Challenge if you would like to make a start during the holidays.

We will be looking at the challenge - Can you be a rock star...? I am looking forward to seeing the collection of rocks we can find.

Who Lived in a Cave?
This half-term we will be answering the Learning Question Who Lived in a Cave? We will focus on the Stone Age period and where and how people lived. On Wednesday (1/11) we will welcome the Freshwater Theatre Company to deliver a workshop on this era - this will provide a multi-sensory experience which will provide some answers and hopefully inspire even more questions about our topic!
Later in the half-term we will have a Stone Age Day out in Forest School - parents and carers all welcome!
