Summer Term 2026.

Class 3 are all geared up and ready for some fabulous learning this Summer term.

Our class residential to Hothersall Lodge is fast approaching on Thursday 30th April and we cannot wait to try new things, learn more about ourselves and make fabulous memories with our friends. 

Please read on to find out all the exciting learning we will be learning during the Summer term.

In English, we will start the new term with a wonderful factual book that links with our history topic. The Story of Tutankhamun by Patricia Cleveland-Peck willl enable us to travel through history with Howard Carter, on his quest to uncover Tutankhamun's hidden tomb, his incredible discovery, and how he unearthd the riches of Ancient Egyptian life. The book will inspire us to create character studies and write factual reports. Following this we will be reading the true story, "Hidden figures" By Margot Lee Shetterly. In this beautifully illustrated picture book biography, we explore the story of four female African American mathematicians at NASA, known as "colored computers," and how they overcame gender and racial barriers to succeed in a highly challenging STEM-based career, becoming heroes of the Space Race. This book is sure to inspire wonderful empathetic writing as we put oursleves in the women's shoes and explore their frustrations, injustice and triumphs.

Maths will be continuing to focus on mastering confident and quick recall of our multiplication tables in our fluency. We will also be learnign all about the properties of shape and consolidating all the learning we have done this year.

In Science, we will be exploring life cycles and the life processes of plants. This will link wonderfully with our PSHE puzzles on relationships and changing me.

In History we will travel back in time to the Ancient Egyptians and learn all about Pharoahs, explore why he river Nile was so important to Egyptian life and the gods and goddesses they worshipped. In art, we will continue our Egyptian theme by making Canopic jars out of clay and learning the different sculpting techniques to master 3D art. 

Following this, we will be creating beautiful wire sculptures that we can use in our outsoor sensory garden. 

In Design Technology, we will be exploring how the Egyptians made Shadufs and using constructing straws to make our own stable 3D structures. 

In R.E, we will be reflecting on how the news of resurrection spread around the world and then exploring the Christian theme of hope. We will be pondering wether death is the end or the a new beginning and looking at what different world faiths believe. 

In PE we will be mastering the skills of tennis in time for Wimbledon and also practising our running, trhowing and jumping in Athletics in time for Sport's Day Our planned PE days are a Monday and Tuesday afternoon, but please can children have kits in everyday in case the weather prevents us having our lesson on those days.
