Dear Kingfishers,
Welcome back Kingfishers! We have an exciting Spring term ahead. We will be going on a faith tour to deepen our understanding of different beliefs, and we are looking forward to taking part in the Sing On concert later in the term.
In Science, we will be learning all about animals including humans. Our Geography unit is Antarctica, where we will discover what makes this continent so unique. In History, we will be travelling back in time to learn about the Anglo-Saxons and their impact on Britain.
We can’t wait to get started on another busy and enjoyable term of learning together!
English: Big Blue Whale
Big Blue Whale by Nicola Davies is a fascinating nonfiction book that takes readers deep into the ocean to discover the largest animal ever to live on Earth. It explains how blue whales can grow longer than three buses, have hearts as big as a small car, and survive by gulping thousands of tiny krill each day. Readers learn how these gentle giants breathe through blowholes, sing powerful songs that travel for miles underwater, and care for their calves in the vast oceans of the world. The book also explores how blue whales were once hunted and why it is so important to protect them today. At the end of our English unit, we will use everything we have learned to create an exciting and detailed fact file all about the amazing blue whale.
Maths:
This year, we’ll dive into a world of numbers, puzzles, and problem-solving as we build confidence in every corner of maths. From mastering multiplication and division to exploring fractions, shapes, and clever mental strategies, Year 3 is all about discovering that maths is everywhere—and it can be exciting! Through practical activities, games, and real-life challenges, we’ll learn to think like mathematicians, spot patterns, and tackle problems with growing independence. Get ready to stretch your brain and enjoy the adventure of maths!
History: How different was the way of life after the Romans left?
This term, we’ll travel back over 1,500 years to uncover the clues the Anglo-Saxons left behind after the Romans left Britain. From buried treasures and ancient settlements to everyday objects and place names we still use today, history gives us evidence of a time that helped shape the country we know now. In this unit, we’ll explore who the Anglo-Saxons were, where they came from, and what life was like in their villages and kingdoms, piecing together the past just like historians and detectives searching for clues from long ago.
Geography: Who lives in Antarctica?
This unit will take us on an icy adventure as we explore who lives in Antarctica and why people choose to travel to the coldest place on Earth. From scientists and researchers to support teams working at remote research stations, we’ll discover how humans survive in such an extreme environment. As young geographers, we’ll investigate life in Antarctica, learn how people adapt to freezing temperatures and long periods of darkness, and uncover why this unique continent is so important for scientific research and protecting our planet.
Science: Animals including humans
Get ready to explore the amazing world of Animals, Including Humans in this exciting science unit! We will discover how different animals survive, grow, and thrive in their habitats, from fierce predators to tiny minibeasts. We’ll also learn all about the human body—how our muscles help us move, how our skeleton supports us, and how we stay healthy with the right nutrition and exercise. Through fun investigations, hands-on activities, and fascinating facts, we’ll compare life cycles, explore food chains, and uncover what makes every living thing unique. By the end of the unit, you’ll be a real-life zoologist and human body expert.
