Year 3: Leopards

Oxley Primary > Our Curriculum > Year 3: Leopards
Parent Meet 2024
Summer Overview
Spring Overview
Autumn Overview

In the Leopard’s class we pride ourselves on delivering a curriculum that provides enriching experiences for all children in the class. We want our leopards to be happy, hardworking and ambitious children who are excited to achieve their full potential. Our Oxley values of ‘be kind,’ ‘be brilliant’ and ‘have an ‘I can’ attitude,’ are central to our class ethos.

In the Leopard’s classroom, we love to surround the children with literature; reading is an integral part of our Oxley curriculum and we begin the new term by completing a novel study of the book, ‘The Lost Happy Endings’ by Carol Ann Duffy. Later in the year, we will expand our reading journey further, studying a variety of different genres which we can use to inspire work in order to showcase our developing writing skills.

Science is also an area that we are very passionate about and plays a key role in shaping our children’s understanding of the world around them. Our topics this year include Skeletons, Nutrition and Diet, Fossils, Light and Forces – to name but a few! We are also very excited this year to be continuing with our new sustainability topics where we will learn about food waste and biodiversity.

Art and Design and Technology will also play a key role in our learning journey and we are very excited to begin the year by learning how to create gestural drawings where the children will discover how to create compositions that capture a sense of drama or performance using charcoal before moving on to contrast with the unit ‘Shape and colour’ where they will study collage and printmaking using the ‘Close Looking’ and ‘Show Me What You See’ techniques to both explore and use as a stimulus to create their own artwork using the renowned Henri Matisse as inspiration. 

The above is just a mere snippet as to some of the topics that we will focus on this year and we hope you will join us in our excitement and enjoyment. We, at Oxley, greatly value partnership with parents so if you do have any skills, resources or expertise that you would like to share with us, we’d very much love for you to join us.
