Welcome to Year Three!
Hello and welcome to the class page for Year 3!
Year 3 marks the beginning of Key Stage 2, which means the children will build on everything they have learnt so far in Early Years and Key Stage 1 and apply it to the Year 3 curriculum. This means children will be starting to work more independently on a variety of engaging topics across the school year.
Please find further information below about current learning and events in Maple and Hazel class.

Story Time:
English:
A preposition is a word that tells you where or when something is in relation to something else. Examples of prepositions include words like after, before, on, under, inside, and outside.
The house was on the hill beside a tree.
In this sentence 'on' and 'beside' are prepositions that show you exactly where the house was.

Spring term
This term Year 3 will be learning 'Why were the Ancient Greeks ruled by their gods?' in their curriculum lessons. They will learn about: how the Olympics were started, Ancient Greek city-states, Alexander the Great, which gods they believed in, and why. Art lessons will link to this as all the children will design and create an Ancient Greek theatre Mask. In English, the children will recreate the myth of 'Theseus and the Minotaur'. They will change the hero, beast, and setting to produce their own myths. Take a look at our knowledge mats below.
