  • Dance Workshop

    Published 28/11/24, by Year Leaders

    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.

  • Instruction writing

    Published 22/11/24, by Year Leaders

    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.

  • Year 3 Autumn Term Homework

    Published 24/10/24, by Year Leaders

    Well done to all the children who have completed their Autumn 1 homework.  We are so pleased with how hard all the children have worked and amazed by the fantastic pieces of work that they have created! Many children have created an interesting poster of a country of their choice. Mrs Newman personally enjoyed reading about Sri Lanka! One child went above and beyond and made her very own 3D rabbit accompanied by rabbit facts.  We have also received evidence of the ‘activity passport’ tasks completed by the children.

    What an amazing start the year 3 children have made. You have exceeded our expectations!  Well done to you all for such outstanding pieces of work!

  • Kickstarting the year with "Take One Book Week"

    Published 13/09/24, by Year Leaders

    The first week back at school has been nothing short of exhilarating! Our ‘Take One Book Week’ has ignited a passion for reading across the year group. In HB1, the children were inspired by the whimsical tale of Simon Sock by Sue Hendra and Paul Linnet, while in HB2, Invisible by Tom Percival captured the imaginations of our eager readers. HB3 were captivated by The Comet by Joe Todd-Stanton and in HB4, the children dived into the intriguing narrative of The Bridges, also penned by Tom Percival.

    Beyond books, the children have begun the academic year immersing themselves in the world of Amazing Animals. During writing lessons, Peter Rabbit brought joy and creativity to their stories, while guided reading sessions with Roald Dahl's The Enormous Crocodile provided plenty of laughs and learning opportunities. In science, they eagerly examined the topic of animals, including humans, reinforcing their connections with the natural world.

    It has been heartening to see the children settling in so well, embracing their learning journey with heaps of enthusiasm. Here's to an exciting year ahead filled with discovery and joy in our classrooms!
