Year 3

Welcome to Year 3
The transition from Key Stage One to Key Stage Two in Year 3 can be both exciting and uncertain for pupils and families, and at Bramley we start working towards it in good time, with visits to the new class, and Transition Booklets which enable children to discuss their hopes and concerns with new teachers and staff. We spend a lot of time at the start of the year building up the children’s independence and stamina for working, whilst also developing children’s confidence across all areas of the curriculum.

Throughout Year 3, we have a mixture of History, Geography and Science topics to drive our learning. We learn about Planet Earth, focussing on the formation of Rocks and Fossils, we also look at the Victorians and Ancient Egyptian periods of history. In Year 3, we also look at Light and Shadows and the story of a river's journey.

An exciting year with many different learning opportunities. 

This term we are learning about...

Ancient Egyptians
