This term, we are focusing on helping the children improve and develop their spelling skills. On our Padlet page, you can find a list of the spelling words that the children are working on. We would love for you to support your child in practising these words at home.
Over the past few weeks, Year 3 have begun rehearsing for our upcoming production of Sherlock and Cinders. All of the actors have been busy learning lines with Mr Whyman and Mrs Holliday and a group of dancers have just started work with Mrs Newman. In our music lessons, we have all been learning the songs and getting to know the story. They have all worked so hard so far. It is looking and sounding fantastic already!
We hope your excited for the performances just before easter!

Solving division problems.....the fun way!
We hope everyone had a restful and enjoyable break! The children have returned to school full of excitement and eager to dive back into learning. This week, we kicked off our writing activities with a fun project inspired by the book George and the Dragon by Chris Wormell. One of the highlights was designing their very own dragons. The children had a blast drawing their creations and explaining their dragon’s unique powers.
In addition to this, we’re also reading The Boy Who Grew Dragons, adding another layer to our dragon-themed term. It’s clear that this term is all about exploring these mythical dragons and we’re thrilled to see the children’s’ imaginations soar!
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue our dragon adventures in the classroom!
Year 3’s Amazing Animals Project
This term, Year 3 students have been exploring the fascinating world of Amazing Animals. Each class focused on a different continent, learning about the unique animals that call these places home. As part of their homework, the children were tasked with completing a project that explored their continent and the animals found there.
The results have been truly impressive! Students showcased their creativity with 3D models of continents and animals, recreations of artworks, and detailed model habitats. This week, the children had the opportunity to walk around and admire each other's hard work, and it was incredible to see how much effort and imagination went into every project.
Well done, Year 3! Your creativity and enthusiasm have shone through, and we are all so proud of your achievements.
Sherlock and Cinders - the auditions!
Year 3's cinema evening.
Year 3 children had the incredible opportunity to take part in a fun-filled and energising dance workshop! Each class embraced a different style of dance, and it was wonderful to see our young dancers step out of their comfort zones, try new things and, most importantly, have a blast! This workshop wasn’t just about learning steps – it was about creativity, self-expression and teamwork.
One of our current focusses in Year 3 is on developing overall writing with a big push on spelling and developing good handwriting.
Over the past few weeks, Year 3 children have been learning to write instructions in our English lessons. We started off by teaching them what can go wrong when instructions are not clear enough; by using the wrong instructions and ending up with messy jam sandwiches! This showed them the importance of following clear and organised instructions, to then get a proper sandwich. The next task was to get the children to write instructions on how to make the felt bookmarks they recently created in Design Technology.
Please check the Year 3 padlet page for your child's current spellings and encourage them to practise them at home.
