Year 3 - Drake

Welcome back to the Summer term!

What a busy term, the last term was! We focused on our Geography learning, finding out about Peru, especially the city Lima and making comparisons with Yateley. We focused on the physical and human features of both locations, comparing their climates and topography. We even explored how we would get there. As part of Science, we carried out investigations to see how water was transported around plants, even dying some celery and Pak Choi blue! The children loved their writing unit linked to the book Cloud Tea Monkeys and took part in some tea tasting! We celebrate books by exploring different books in a book 'speed dating' session as part of Book Week, as well as many other things, including teaching the school more about Mother's Day and its history in our class assembly.

                                                

This half-term, we will be learning about the Romans and their legacy. We started our learning by creating a timeline on the playground. Our knowledge from our Destination Reader and Literacy Tree book, Escape to Pompeii has already given us some knowledge to build upon. We have some new and exciting texts coming up in our Destination Reader and English lessons. Our current book is The Firework Maker's Daughter by Philip Pullman. 

This half-term, we are also looking forward to our Year 3 sleepover with lots of exciting activities. 

 Please find below our Topic Web and Family learning for this half-term based on the Remarkable Romans.
