Year 3

Welcome! This Autumn, Year 3 will be learning all about the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age. We will focus on the Roman Empire and its impact on Britain. We will learn about Julius Caesar’s attempted invasion in 55-54 BC and the revolt against Roman rule by Boudica.

In English, we will be reading ‘Stone Age Boy’ and ‘Iron Man’ amongst many more exciting books! We will be writing diary entries, letters and stories.

In Maths, we will be looking at place value before moving on to the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division).

In Science, we will start by studying rocks and soils. We will look at how fossils are formed and compare and group different types of rocks by their appearance and physical properties. We will study and investigate light and how shadows are formed.

In RE, we will be thinking about the following questions:

Christianity
What do Christians learn from the creation story?

What is the trinity?
