Hare Moonwood Class
Our Year 3 children are taught in Hare Moonwood Class
Moonwood was a talking hare who lived in the sixth century, during the Age of Conquest. He lived under the Great Waterfall in the west of Narnia. His hearing was so sensitive, that he could hear a whispered conversation in Cair Paravel above the roar of the waterfall. You can read about Moonwood in the book, 'The Last Battle'.
What we do:
The transition from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 2 is an important step in children’s primary education. They learn to be much more independent and take responsibility for organising themselves and their belongings.
In Maths we concentrate on learning the times tables and the related division facts as well as covering the rest of the maths curriculum.
In Literacy the emphasis is on learning to recognise the features of different genres of writing and being able to use these in our own writing.
Topic work is fun, interesting and varied. This term our topic in year 3 is the Battle of Britain.
The Battle of Britain was one of the most pivotal moments in the country's history. It marked a turning point when Britain stood alone against Hitler's seemingly unstoppable military power.
In the summer of 1940 – after Hitler swept through France and drove the British army out of the European mainland - the people of Britain made ready for a Nazi invasion. But before Hitler could conquer the country he needed to gain air superiority. The Luftwaffe launched a large scale attack, intent on wiping out Britain's air defences. The pilots of the RAF, who became known as "The Few", stood up to wave after wave of German fighters and bombers sending a clear message to Hitler that Britain would never surrender.
By October 1940 the RAF was victorious. Hitler called off his invasion plans and the Luftwaffe switched to bombing British cities. Britain now stood as the last bastion of resistance against Nazi Germany.
