Lower Key Stage 2

Year 3 have made a brilliant start to the year!

English – We are exploring Cinderella of the Nile and The Myth of Bastet. The children are writing their own play scripts, giving step-by-step instructions on mummification, and creating imagery poems inspired by pyramids and Ancient Egypt.

Maths – We are focusing on place value, addition and subtraction, and beginning to use multiplication. Problem-solving is linked to Ancient Egypt and Greece to make learning fun and purposeful.

Science – Our topic is Rocks. The children are comparing different rocks, investigating how fossils form, and finding out how soil is made.

Topic – We are travelling back in time to explore Ancient Egypt. The children are learning about pharaohs, pyramids, gods and mummies, and studying the importance of the River Nile in geography.

The children are showing enthusiasm, curiosity and creativity across all subjects — a fantastic start to Year 3!
