The latest Year 3 Learning Update!

Year 3 Autumn 1 Update – Ancient Civilisations

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!

Year 4

Autumn Term Knowledge Organiser – 2025-2026

The latest Year 4 Learning Update!

Year 4 have been diving into Roman history this half term and have especially enjoyed exploring the myth of Romulus and Remus. The children have not only read and retold the story in their own words, but also used their imagination to write their very own versions of the myth. To bring the story to life, they took part in a drama lesson where they acted out key scenes – as you will see from the wonderful photos we have included!

The children have shown fantastic enthusiasm for learning about myths and legends, and they are beginning to make links between history, storytelling, and performance.

Looking ahead, Year 4 are very excited about their upcoming trip to the Apple Store on the 25th and 26th of September. This promises to be a fantastic opportunity for them to develop their digital skills and creativity.
