SPRING & SUMMER 2021
Welcome! Croeso!
This is the Year 3 webpage.
Welcome to the Spring term in Year 3. On this page you will find information about topics, activities and our timetable for this half term.
I am looking forward to sharing lots of fun learning experiences with your children this term and I cannot wait to tell everyone about our first theme. Let's find out what we will be studying in Year 3 this Spring half term...
Our theme for the first half of the term is
Over the next half term, Blwyddyn 3 will be travelling back in time to Iron Age Britain. What was life like in our country 2000 over years ago? Who lived in Pembrey then and how did they live? Why was this time know as the Iron Age? These are all questions we will answer through our class topic ‘Tribe’.
Pupils will have an opportunity to learn all about the everyday life of the Celts. We will compare and contrast their lives with our own and learn about how they both fought and adapted to Roman occupation.
Finally, we will explore the myths which link to modern Celtic culture such as the tale of King Arthur and Merlin by reading the story of the Sword in the Stone, roleplaying scenes from the text and writing character profiles for the main characters.
It's over to you - time to start thinking of your ideas for our EPIC session, where we will decide together what we can learn about in our exciting theme ‘Tribe!'
After the Spring half term we will be studying
Are local legends real? Did King Arthur really exist? If so, was he helped by our local wizard from Carmarthen, Myrddin (or Merlin as you might know him)?.
Blwyddyn 3 will be learn all about this and much more as we plan our learning around our Welsh Legend, "The Sword in the Stone".
We will compare different versions of the tale, role play the characters near our very own sword in the stone and develop our language skills to write profiles of King Arthur and Merlin.
We will also look at what traits are needed to be a good leader. Have we got what it takes to be king? We will find out...
Below is our class timetable - what happens in Year 3 and when.
