Welcome to class 7.
Welcome to class 7! We are a Year 3 class and our teacher is Mrs Egglestone and our Teaching Assistant is Mrs Pearson. We enjoy working hard and becoming confident, independent learners who are excited by new challenges and opportunities.
Autumn
During the Autumn term, we will read Revolting Rhymes by Roald Dahl and illustrate our poems inspired by the artist Quentin Blake. Maths will be based on addition and subtraction and new learning in multiplication and division. Our history topic focuses on the Stone Age through to the Iron Age, where we will explore the question ‘Who First Lived in Britain?’ In geography, we will be learning about how a mountain is made.
Spring
In the Spring term, we will read another text by Roald Dahl, The Twits. Maths will focus on measurement and our history topic will investigate how the Roman invasion changed Britain. This exciting topic will take us on a journey back in time to the life of the Romans. In Art, we will be creating Roman mosaics and in D.T we will design and create a Roman Aqueduct! In geography this term, we will be investigating what makes the earth angry and will learn all about earthquakes and volcanoes. During science we will investigate light and shadows, as well as the earth and rocks. In music, we will become our own school rock band!
Summer
Summer term maths involves lots of money, time and shape. In English, we will search for ‘The Lost Happy Endings’ and create our own adventure story. Our final history topic of the year is ‘Why did the Anglo Saxons settle in Britain and what impact did they have?’ In D.T, we will be exploring Anglo-Saxon bread recipes and will be designing and making our own delicious bread! In geography, we will be looking at how the River Wear was formed and why is it such an important feature of our region. In R.E, we will be submerged in the life of a Hindu as we explore celebrations in different religions.
