Autumn

This half-term, our theme is 'Our Rights,' where we will explore children's rights and learn about inspiring individuals who have helped make a difference in the world, including Malala Yousafzai, Marcus Rashford and Greta Thunberg. We will be thinking about how our voices can make a positive impact and how we can stand up for what is right in our communities and beyond. We will also be building our skills as historians and develop the knowledge to answer the key question - ‘How have courageous people helped change what it means to be a child, and what rights do children have today?’ 

 

Science

In Science, Year 3 will be learning all about electricity. We will explore where electricity comes from, identify everyday appliances that use electricity and learn how to stay safe around electrical equipment. The children will also investigate simple electrical circuits, discovering how components such as batteries, wires, bulbs and switches work together to make a complete circuit. Through practical activities and investigations, we will develop our scientific knowledge, curiosity and enquiry skills.
