Autumn 2

Welcome to Year 3!

Hello, welcome to Year 3.

At Avenue Primary, we learn about a different topic every half term. These topics and called ‘drivers’ and revolve around a main question, which links specifically to either Science, History or Geography.

For this half term, we have two Science drivers and our questions to investigate are…

Within the first Science driver, we will be looking at magnets and how they work. We will discuss what we mean by 'attract and repel' and investigating how many things are attracted to magnets. We will also look at other types of forces, including friction.

Moving into the second driver, we will investigate what different types of rocks there are, the soil they can be found in and what we can learn from them. We will also look at various fossils and discover what they tell us about the past.

Here is an outline of the other curriculum areas we will be covering this term.

There are also links to some useful websites for the children to use for their own research and enjoyment.
