Welcome to Year 3 Class Eamont
My name is Mrs Jardine, and I am the year 3 teacher this year. We have a fantastic year planned for our learning in this academic year starting with our Autumn Term!
Autumn Term
This term we will be beginning our first topic the Stone Age! We will be looking at changes in Britain from the Stone Age to the Iron Age, including late Neolithic hunter-gatherers, and early farmers.
The children will get the opportunity to create their very own cave paintings in art, and design a Stone Age settlement in Design Technology. We will also be creating our own story based on Stone Age Boy by Satoshi Kitamura along with a class visit via ‘Microsoft Teams’ to meet an archaeologist and examine some real life Stone Age artefacts.
Homework
Spellings will be sent out via Class DoJo on a Friday to be practised at home and tested on the following Friday. Here at Yanwath we Strive For Five! This is our nightly reading homework and runs from Saturday to Friday. Children will receive up to 5 DoJo points – one for each star they have achieved in their Strive For Five challenge.
PE
We have PE twice a week, children will need an indoor and an outdoor PE Kit. These will be kept on their peg until half-term when the children will bring them home. No jewellery should be worn for safety reasons. Children who wear earrings must take them out for PE or tape them up. Children should bring their own tape into school and must tape their earrings by themselves.
