Welcome to
Year 3 – Beech Class
Spring Term 2026
The spring term is already in full flow and Year 3 have already begun their new topics.
Science – ‘Living Things and their Habitats’ (a topic that involves classification and grouping of living things and of how their habitats can change). We will also be moving onto another ‘Animals including Humans’ topic (focusing on food chains, food webs and the human digestive system).
Geography – ‘Countries & Capital’ (this will include a lot of map and atlas work).
Music – ‘Human Body’ (singing in two parts, performing call and response structure, exploring sounds, performing word rhythms, understanding and
performing binary form).
ART – Collage: Colour/shape (creating art in the same styles as various artists).
D.T. – Structures: Bridge designs / Mechanical systems – Waterwheel
Computing – We will be covering two topics: Computing systems and networks and then attempting to create Stop-Frame-Animations.
P.E. – This will continue with swimming on a Thursday and a lesson with Mr. Moorhead on a Tuesday, in which the class will attempt to improve their gymnastic skills. Your child MUST have their P.E. kit in school every day.
If you want a more in depth look at what we will be covering this term, then please have a look at our ‘Curriculum wall’.
Home Learning consists of daily reading aloud to an adult and weekly spellings. TT Rock Stars is still available to help secure times table knowledge. A Home Learning sheet, full of fun activities, will also be made available. Completed Home Learning tasks can be photographed / videoed and sent to me via the Dojo app.
As always, if you have any enquiries, thoughts or resources that may be helpful, then please don’t hesitate to contact me.
