During Autumn 2, we enjoyed a busy and exciting term. In blended reading, we explored The Abominable, while in English we focused on The Iron Man, writing blog posts after a shocking discovery when the Iron Man was found scattered across our school field. Linking to this work, in Art the children designed and created their own Iron Man sculptures using papier-mâché, which they then painted. This was a very creative (and messy!) process that the children thoroughly enjoyed.

In Maths, we worked hard on fractions, a challenging topic where the children showed great perseverance. We also learned about measurement, including length and mass, using lots of practical resources to support understanding.

In History, we had an amazing Iron Age Day led by Iron Age Matt, who delivered an engaging talk about the journey from the Stone Age to the Iron Age and shared fascinating artefacts. The children learned about Iron Age clothing, hill forts and roundhouses, and even got to hold replica shields, spears and swords.

Towards the end of term, the children really enjoyed performing in their toot concert, visiting the reindeers and sharing a Christmas dinner together. The children have been amazing this term, and we can’t wait to begin another exciting new term ahead.

Welcome to Year 3 (Hazel and Hawthorn) 2025-26

The children have had a wonderful start to Year 3. They have made the transition to Key Stage 2 with maturity, and have adapted well to their new classes and routines. Their willingness to learn has been outstanding! The children have been excited to start learning about the Stone Age in History and have produced some fantastic pieces of writing inspired by the book 'Stone Age Boy'. We are looking forward to our upcoming Stone Age day next week! 

For your information, Year 3 PE sessions are on the following days:
