Autumn Term 2023

Amazing Americas!

Welcome back Year 3. I hope you all had a super summer break.

The Autumn Term topic in Year 3 is Amazing Americas, covering an exciting mix of geographical, historical and science skills. First of all, we look at the continents of North and South America, investigating key geographical features as well as physical and human characteristics. Next, the class will take a trek into the depths of the rainforest where they will discover where the rainforests are located, what they are like, who lives in there, including animals, plants and indigenous peoples. In the second half of the term, we will investigate volcanoes and earthquakes within the same regions to find out how they are made and where they are located. Finally, the children will uncover the mysteries of the Maya. They will start by taking a trip deep into the rainforests of Central America to explore Mayan ruins and from there, embark on a journey that will help them uncover the life, society and civilisation of both ancient and modern Mayan people.
