Year 3

Summer 2, 2025

Welcome Back, Year 3!

We hope you all had a wonderful half term break! Welcome back to the final half term of Year 3!

Our Summer 2 topic is ‘Ancient Egyptians’ in which we will be learning who the Ancient Egyptians were and where they originated as well as their links with the Roman Empire. We will also be learning about the importance of the River Nile and the importance of different Pharaoh’s and Gods. Finally, we will also be looking at hieroglyphics and understanding that this was an early writing system for the Ancient Egyptian Civilisation as well as creating our own cartouches using these hieroglyphics. This will feed into our writing in English this half term as we look at writing suspense stories titled ‘____ in the pyramids’.

Please find all of the different things that we are learning on our curriculum overview pages below. These will be updated each half term with all of the fun things that we are learning. 

On this page you will find:

   - The home learning grid for Summer 2 half-term

   - Spelling list

   - Topic grid for ‘Ancient Egyptians'

   - Resources to support at home
