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.
Friendship Week
Friendship Week
In year 3 the children have been choosing different friends to play with each day. For friendship week, we discussed what it means to be a good friend, the children all designed a friend they would like to have. This was a very thoughtful and reflective process. Well done year 3!
Dance Festival
Year 3 enjoyed a chilly walk up to The Billericay School for a dance festival morning. The year 11 students directed and engaged with the children teaching them a fantastic routine. They had so much fun, we danced all the way back to Sunnymede.

D&T
The children have loved every moment of our design and technology topic - making pop-up cards! Many were so inspired; they continued to make pop-up cards at home and bring them in! What great enthusiasm.
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.
