In Term 5, Year 3 will be learning about Plants (Science) and Climate Zones (Geography). To help enrich their learning we have planned a trip to Mallydams Wood, near Fairlight, where the children will explore the woods, complete a Hedgehog trail, build shelters, go on a scavenger hunt and become code breaking animal detectives as they learn about the climate and animal and plant life found within this area.

To finish our topic, we have arranged for the children to visit Hastings Blue Reef Aquarium, the Seafront and the RNLI lifeboat center on the 19th of May.
During the visit, children will be able to support their reading, literacy and art by gaining inspiration from what they see at the aquarium and beach. On the beach, children will have an opportunity to do some beach combing to find objects to make a ‘Seascape box’ on their return. The trip to the aquarium allows the children to recall what we have learnt over term 3 and 4 about a variety of animals. The opportunity to visit the lifeboat center allows children to apply and retrieve their knowledge of transport from terms 3 and 4.
