WELCOME TO DIAMOND CLASS
To kick start Year 3, the children will begin with a geography topic, exploring the similarities and the differences in the UK and Spain. We will use an atlas to look at both the physical and human properties of the countries to help compare them, whilst also developing our map skills. In writing this half term, we will read a variety of Spanish folk takes and begin to develop our narrative writing, alongside creating our own non chronological report all about Spain! It’s going to be great!
