Companion projects:
Beautiful Botanicals — Year 3 will be doing this art project in Summer Term 1. This project teaches children about the genre of botanical art. Children will create natural weavings, leaf prints, and beautiful, detailed botanical drawings.

Plant Nutrition and Reproduction—this will be covered in science in summer term 1, and children will learn about the requirements of plants for growth and survival. Children will learn to describe the parts of flowering plants and relate structure to function, including the roots and stem for transporting water, leaves for making food, and the flower for reproduction.

Light and Shadows - This project will be covered in science in Summer term 2. Children will investigate the phenomena of reflections and shadows, looking for patterns in collected data. The risks associated with the Sun will also be explored.

Greenhouses - This project will teach children about the purpose, structure and design features of greenhouses, and compares the work of two significant greenhouse designers. Children will learn techniques to strengthen structures and use tools safely. Children will use their learning to design and construct a mini greenhouse.

PE Days
Our PE days are WEDNESDAY (indoor) and THURSDAY (outdoor). Please ensure that children come to school in their school PE kits on these days - plain white T shirt, black bottoms and a red, grey, or black hoodie or jumper.

Home Learning
Each week the children will be sent home with spellings to practice, which they will be tested on weekly, and a piece of year 3 maths or punctuation and grammar learning.
