The Year Three Team
Integrated CurriculumMakes learning purposefulChildren working towards a clear outcomeMakes learning fun All topics begin with a hook – designed to engage and enthuse Link objectives from different subjects to create each topic Literacy focus for every topic- Daily Literacy lessons. In Reading Workshop children
usually read books of the same text type as the topic.
Discreet Teaching Programmes Some topics are taught separately to ensure all areas of learning are covered Daily Numeracy lessons – 4 ability sets – target the teaching to meet children’s needs PE and Outdoor games, French, RE Wordwise and handwriting
We plan opportunities for the children to work together across the curriculum

It’s Showtime!Hook- Joe Gladwyn (puppeteer)
Outcome – shadow puppet show performance
Literacy focus – dialogue and plays
ICT – word processing -combining text and graphics
Design Technology- making shadow puppets
Gymnastics- shadowing partners moves
Music – composing sound effects
This is a Science and Literacy based topic.The children will learn the story of the‘Papaya who spoke’,noting how dialogue is written in narratives. They will then read and perform plays learning how they are written and why. Finally they will write a playscript by innovating ‘The Papaya who spoke’. They will learn about how shadows are made and change through science investigations and exploration. Using what they have learnt they will make shadow puppets and perform a shadow puppet show for the children in other Year 3 classes.
