What are we Learning?
Friday 2nd October 2026
What an exciting week we have had this week.
Year 3 have started to build their roundhouses using clay. We have had to be both creative and resilient while working with clay, and we are already looking forward to continuing with them next week.
In English, we continue to have a big push with our sentence structures. We're trying to remember that they must start with a capital letter and end with some punctuation. If you would like to have a go at writing any super sentences at home, we would love to see them.
In Science, we have been using playdough this week to explore how Sedimentary, Igneous and Metamorphic rocks are formed. It was very interesting to see the different layers. Next week we start to look at fossils!

In English, our learning has moved on to focus on the picture book, Ug. We compared our lives with the life of the fictional character, Ug. We also wrote to Ug describing our way of life in the 21st Century.
In Maths, we have concluded our first topic of place value. Ask me about what each digit represents in a 3-digit number!
This week we also had the opportunity to visit the allotment where we did some weeding, apple picking and also found some interesting purple beans!

Year 3 have had a great week of learning.
After our rock hunt around the school grounds last week, we have continued our topic of Rocks and Soils in Science. We have explored a variety of different rocks and have created some fantastic observational drawings.
In RE, we continue to learn about the Hindu Faith and have been learning about Diwali and the story of Rama and Sita.
During BSL this week, Mrs Walker has been challenging us to some super speedy finger spelling. We have been signing our names and creating sign bookmarks. Have a go at home this week... How quickly can you sign your family names?
Next week, we're looking forward to some time on the allotment. Remember to bring in your wellies and old clothing.

Welcome to Year 3!
We have had a great start to the year and everyone is settling well into the new Year 3 routines.
We had a wonderful start to the year going on our trip to Woburn Safari Park. We saw lots of animals, which have inspired some of our activities this week!
In English, we have been focusing on ‘Stone Age, Bone Age.’ We have practised using imperative verbs in our writing, in preparation to write instructions.
In Maths, we have started our topic on place value. We have represented numbers to 100 and explored the number line to 100.
We have even had the opportunity to learn some cricket, which will continue each Wednesday until half-term!
