Curriculum Information

At Kings Meadow we are following our bespoke, carefully designed Kings Meadow ‘CRACKING’ curriculum which is:

Creative, Real-life, Ambitious, Careers-focussed curriculum building Knowledge & skills for every Individual Nurturing Global citizens of the future

During this academic year, the children in Year 3 will be taught the following themes.

In Year 3 our class mascot is ‘Ruby the Red Squirrel’’. Ruby helps us to focus on the following characteristics of effective learning so through our teaching, and the experiences we offer, our children will learn how to become:

BRAVE - I can take responsibility, showing confidence in myself and my contribution to the group.

BOLD- I am willing to try out new things in my learning even though I may feel apprehensive.

RESILIENT - I can adapt my ideas as circumstances change.

PREPARED - I can propose practical ways forward, breaking these down into small, manageable steps.

Current CRACKING Curriculum Theme

Our current theme is ‘All the Ages’. It is part of our whole school COMMUNITY driver.

In this unit, we will explore the changes and developments that took place over several millennia in Ancient Britain. We will use vocabulary relating to specific eras (Stone, Bronze and Iron Age) to categorise development and societal change during these eras. We will recognise that we can make claims about the lives people led in ancient times because of evidence left behind. We will also learn about key people from history and how their actions still impact our present day.

Please download the files below to see our current planning and Knowledge Organiser (WISK Sheet). These documents will provide you with a clear overview of all the subjects and learning that will take place in your child’s current theme.
