Welcome to Autumn Term in Year 3!

Our project for the Autumn term is titled: “Were the ancient Egyptians fabulous or foolish?’
In history we will investigate what was important to the ancient Egyptians. Why was the river Nile so important and what did the ancient Egyptians believe happened in the afterlife? We will also look at artefacts and how they help us learn about the past. To support this learning, we will be visiting Weston Park Museum in Sheffield. Later in the term we will be heading into the city centre for an ancient Egyptian story telling session at the Central library.
For the geography part of our topic, we will be learning about rivers and how they are used. We will be studying how rivers are formed and looking at the rivers near us.
In Design and Technology we will be using sewing techniques and in art we will be studying texture.
Our Shared Reading lessons will involve three books: “The Daily Lives of Ancient Egyptian (non-fiction) and ‘The Phantom of the Nile’ and ‘The Egyptian Cinderella”.
P.E. will be taught by a specialist coach every Monday. Children should bring their P.E. kit to school on the first Monday of term and leave it at school until the half term holidays.
In the spring term, both class 3 and 4 will be going swimming every Wednesday afternoon.
As always, we love to see the amazing project homework being brought to class. Please remember that your child must complete up to 6 Project Homework tasks over the term, in addition to their weekly homework. Feel free to ask for any help or resources your child may need.
Please ensure that you listen to your child read at least five times a week and record every reading session in their reading diary. We will keep a record of this. Each time your child reads at home, they will receive a stamp on their bookmark. When they have completed a bookmark they will receive a prize from Mr Clarke
In year 3 and 4, your child will receive homework on Thursday to be returned the following Thursday.
