PE Days
Reading is a key part of learning and through a range of texts, we hope children become immersed and enjoy reading for pleasure.
Here is a list of recommended reads for Year 3 to help inspire and excite children.
October gymnasts
During P.E. this autumn term we have been doing gymnastics. Pupils have been working hard to practice different ways to travel and balance. The children used hoops and mats to develop sequences showing off their skills in pairs. We used apparatus too! All of the year group performed sensibly demonstrating that they understood the meaning of safe balances and soft landings. Well done year 3!
October - Autumn fun in Year 3.
We are scientists
During our weekly science lessons we have been studying light and shadow. The children carried out experiments outside in the autumn sunshine measuring how their shadows move and change throughout the day.
Inside we looked at using torches to make light and shadow, we did experiments to test which materials were opaque, translucent and transparent.
STONE AGE DAY SEPTEMBER 2025
What a day! Year 3 enjoyed an excellent day in the Stone Age! Our visiting Stone Age expert provided a wonderfully immersive workshop for all of us!
The children were able to understand how early man evolved and changed over time. They explored hunting - looking at weapons and animals. We got to see how animal fur could be used for clothing and warmth.
The children got to witness a campfire being made using sticks, then instruments developed by Stone Age people. We got to experience life with mammoths and managed to catch one!
After lunch, the children were able to see the journey from the Stone Age to Roman times. They understood how the early people were peaceable but as the human race grew and changed, land was fought over, and eventually various tribes became enemies.
The classes had battles and races between them. They built their own Stone Henge in groups and even managed to find Iron in an imaginary mine. A day to remember, what a great start to year 3.
