Yearly Overview

Take a look at our yearly overview for everything that the children will be learning in year 3.

Curriculum Framework Overview – Year 3

 


Year 3 Trips

Autumn 1: Tribal Tales

To learn all about the Stone Age, children will visit the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre in Craven Arms.

Autumn 2: Gods and Mortals

To learn about the Ancient Greeks, a workshop is held at school with a visitor with engaging activities based on Ancient Greek life. Children are encouraged to come to school dressed as an Ancient Greek child for the day!

Spring 1: My Telford

This topic is based around learning about the history and development of Telford. For the children’s geography fieldwork, the children visit Dawley High Street and Telford Town Centre to compare the amenities available to residents. We then come back to school and debate on where the children would rather live.

Spring 2: Scrumdiddlyumptious

This half term, year 3 visit Cadbury World to learn all about chocolate – how it’s made, where the ingredients are grown and the importance of Fairtrade to third world farmers.

Summer 1: Rivers

To complete their geography unit, children visit Carding Mill Valley to test the rate of flow of the river.

Summer 2: Mountains

For this topic, we take a trip to Haughmond Hill. We will look at all the features of the local area and take a walk up the hill to draw our favourite view.

Prices for each trip will be announced by the office in due course.

 


Important Days

Our PE days are Wednesday and Thursday. One of these sessions will be delivered by Mr Morgan.  Children can come to school wearing their PE kits.

Our Forest School Session will happen in Spring 1.  This will be delivered by Educating Kids Outdoors. We will advise you further, closer to the time. For this, children need to wear wellies and long sleeved tops and jumpers.
