Year 3

Attenborough class

In the Autumn term, pupil learning is led by the curriculum vehicle ‘expressive art exhibition’ which allows pupils to respond to the critical question: ‘What does it mean to be human?’  This is supported by challenging texts which enhance pupil knowledge of identity and diversity, enabling them to develop emotional-intelligence and empathise with others.

Pupils begin the term with a Stone Age adventure day where they explore what life was like in the Stone Age period. Through their curriculum vehicle, they create pieces of art, poetry, dance, and drama to express their understanding of what being human means, and what this meant in the Stone Age. Year 3 focus on identity and embrace our diverse community, which is reflected in the unique art produced.

We are committed to achieving the 2030 agenda for sustainable development, and share the belief that ‘ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.’ – UN. We have a moral imperative to educate our pupils about how they can create a sustainable world and we empower them to teach others.
