Autumn 1

What a fantastic start to the year it has been for Year 3! The children have settled brilliantly into the Juniors and have been busy exploring a wide range of exciting topics across the curriculum.

In English, the children have been using their imaginations to create wonderfully descriptive settings. They wrote beautifully about their secret gardens, hidden behind mysterious doors, using rich vocabulary to bring their magical discoveries to life.

Maths lessons have been lively and hands-on this term! Through fun and active challenges, the children have deepened their understanding of place value and used this knowledge to tackle column addition and subtraction with growing confidence and accuracy.

In Science, our young geologists have been discovering all about rocks. They have learnt to identify different types of rocks and understand how they are formed. Using their new scientific knowledge, the children became expert report writers, producing their very own non-chronological reports all about this topic.

Our History topic has taken us back in time to the prehistoric era. The children have enjoyed discovering what life was like for people living in these fascinating times and are looking forward to bringing their learning to life with our immersive trip after half term.

We can’t wait to see what adventures the next half of the term will bring!
