Year 3 is an exciting year for the children as they leave Key Stage 1 behind and begin their Key Stage 2 journey. Something very new for the children is that Year 3 is when the children begin learning French! Oui oui!

 

The curriculum at Friars is broad and balanced and you will find lots of interest in Year 3! Topics covered include the Stone and Bronze Ages, forces and magnets, earthquakes and volcanoes and designing and making mechanisms. You will find that we often use ideas from elsewhere in the curriculum in our English work.

In the summer term, we enjoy a lovely visit to Colchester Castle to further enrich our learning. We also visit the beach as part of our local geography study.
