Spring Overview
Throughout the Spring term, pupils develop curiosity about the world, scientific and historical enquiry skills, and understanding of human and natural environments. Lessons encourage investigation, observation, and critical thinking, supporting confident learners across the curriculum. In Year 3, pupils will explore Ancient Egypt, learning about daily life, homes, jobs, and beliefs. These units develop historical enquiry, helping pupils ask questions, interpret evidence, and understand how the past influences the present.
Throughout this half term, our writing will be inspired by our history topic, A Street Through Time, with a focus on life in Ancient Egypt. Pupils will explore what an Egyptian street may have looked like and how people lived, worked and worshipped. They will develop their non-fiction writing skills by researching and writing a non-chronological report, using clear subheadings and factual language. Children will learn how to use formal language and subordinating clauses to add detail and explain ideas clearly. This unit supports curiosity about the past while building confidence in informative writing.
Further information about our adventures and learning as well as specific news and notices will be shared through Arbor and the newsletter.
