Y3 Elder
Welcome to Y3 Elder
#Y3Elder
This term we will continue our Egyptians topic and focus on the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb. In English, we will create our own newspaper reports based on this discovery and of the work of the famous archaeologist Howard Carter. In maths, we will work on our recall of times tables and look at links between multiplication and division.
Shadows and light will be our science topic for this half term. We will explore how shadows move throughout the day with a fun, interactive experiment and also explore how to stay safe in the sun. In our Design and Technology lessons, we will bake our own Egyptian bread and investigate why the the Ancient Egyptian civilisation had such terrible teeth!
Please take a look at our Spring 2 bookshelf below to see our exciting topics and how we plan to use high quality texts to enhance them. We will keep this class page and 'X' updated with key information and pictures of what we have been up to so keep checking in!
