Year 3 - Phase 2
Welcome to the Year 3 page for Constable, Turner and Riley classes!
Our big question for Autumn 2 is...
Bronze or Iron?
During our half term of learning we will be finding out the changes from the Bronze to Iron Age. As aspiring Historians, we will continue to develop our historical vocabulary and chronology skills. Our learning will lead us to read the text 'The Boy with the Bronze Axe' by Kathleen Fidler.

This half term we will become history detectives, discovering how the Stone Age progressed into the Bronze and Iron Ages and the exciting changes that happened during this period of time.

How does your garden grow?
For this half term we will be focusing on a Science lead question which will lead us to becoming gardens and botanists. Our work will focus around how plants grow and we will start to look at the different parts of the plant. You might want to complete some homework which may involve you planting seeds in your garden! We would love to see what you get up to in your garden as we move into the Spring months.

Where on Earth are we?
For our next Geography based topic we will be looking closely at our own planet, especially the UK, key locations and important sites on it. We cannot wait to get started with this topic and I am sure the children already know some interesting facts about the local area. Bringing in books about our topic is always encouraged and we will be sure to look at these in our reading time. As always, we appreciate any extra research the children do at home and below are a few helpful websites.
