Are you ready to create, investigate and explore? Then you are in the right place! This term we will be going on a journey refining our scientific skills. You will be explorers, investigators and inventors!
So far in Year 3, we have enjoyed exploring prehistory as well as Roman life! Now it is time to go further into the future. This term we will consider how we can build communities of peace through looking into how technology can create a world that helps others.
We will learn about the development of technology through a period of modern time and how advanced our technology has become. We will learn how inventors and engineers have used technology across a broad spectrum.
- In science we will learn about forces and electricity and how this enables machines to work.
- Then using this knowledge, through DT, we will work as a team to design and build your own Junkbot robots.
- In computing we will participate in a workshop that will teach us how to build a Lego robot which we will then control using and applying algorithms.
- In music we will learn how to play recorders, which explores happiness, friendship and how we can all play a part to be a community of peace.
Join us on this amazing journey as we explore the world of Magnificent Machines and Robots!
Finally a very important question… Should teachers be replaced by robots? Only YOU can decide!

Sometimes PE learning will need to be flexible due to the unpredictable nature of weather experienced. Alternative lessons may be taught to facilitate in these cases.
