Year 3 - Kingfisher Class
Welcome to Kingfisher Class
Class Teacher: Mr Dickens
Teaching Assistants: Mrs Cooper and Mrs Ali
Welcome to Term 4
I hope everyone had a great holiday and a happy New Year.
Our geography enquiry this term is, 'Why do some earthquakes cause more damage than others?'. The children will be looking at different types of earthquakes and what causes them to occur around the world.
Our reading book this term will be 'You're a bad man Mr Gum' by Andy Stanton. Mr Gum is a complete horror who hates children, animals, fun and corn on the cob. This book is all about him and an angry fairy who lives in his bathtub. And Jake the dog, and a little girl called Polly and an evil, stinky butcher all covered in guts. And there are heroes, sweets and adventures!
Our science this term is ‘Rocks and Soil’. Year 3 will be observing the appearance and physical properties of rocks. The children will compare and group different rock samples, learn about fossil and soil formation and record soil drainage rates in a bar chart.
PE will be on a Wednesday morning, where the children will be learning tennis skills. Please could the children have an appropriate PE kit in school.
Kingfisher’s Forest School sessions will take place in the latter half of the term. They will take place on Tuesday afternoons (starting 18th March 2024). Please remember your Forest School kit and appropriate footwear. Check the Class Dojo page for regular updates on Forest School.
