We are looking forward to watching your adventure as you embark on your learning journey as junior children. We hope that you will have lots of fun as well as making the best possible progress.
Our PE days will be on Thursdays and Fridays so please wear your PE kits to school on these days.
Please encourage your child/children with their home reading and talk with them about the stories they are reading and the characters that they may come across.
Keep a look out for photos of our learning and fun on our class page and social media.
🔦 Year 3 Explore the Science of Shadows! 🌞
Our curious Year 3 scientists have been busy investigating shadows as part of their light topic in science.
The children began by asking an exciting question: “Are shadows always the same size?”
To find out, they carried out a series of fun experiments, testing how shadows change when an object moves closer to or further from the light source. They used torches, different materials, and careful measurements to record their observations — just like real scientists!
Geography fun in Year 3!
We have been exploring the different mountain ranges in the world in Year 3! We had to locate and name different mountains and then create our own posters based on a mountain of our choice.
Themed Week - Year Three Travelled Back To The 1990's!

Year 3 took a step back in time as part of our 1990s-themed week. The week was filled with engaging, cross-curricular activities designed to immerse students in the culture, music, fashion, and daily life of the decade.
As part of their learning, pupils explored popular music from the 1990s. They learned the choreography to ‘Stop’ by the Spice Girls and gave a performance of ‘Wonderwall’ by Oasis. They also created colourful, lyric-inspired guitars and designed their own bucket hats!

This half term in Design and Technology, we’ve been developing our sewing skills through a hands-on textiles project. Pupils planned, designed, stitched, stuffed, and decorated their very own cushions from start to finish. Along the way, they learned how to use both cross stitch and running stitch with care and precision. The final results were fantastic — a wonderful showcase of creativity, perseverance, and growing technical skill!
