Welcome to Year 3
Our Class Saint is St. Paul
We are so excited about this academic year and have lots of fantastic topics that we cannot wait to share with you. Year 3 is a big transition as you move into Key Stage 2 but we are always here to guide you as you enter this new chapter.
Year 3 is also a very special year as you will be preparing to receive Jesus for the very first time. We look forward to being with you every step of the way and helping you along your special spiritual journey.
Please take a look at the overviews below to see what we will be learning this year.

Stone Age Day
Y3 took part in a Stone Age Workshop! We had a lot of fun learning about life in the Stone Age and completing activities like, carding and weaving - even using a VR headset to spot woolly mammoths! We all enjoyed our adventure going back in time!
Dance
In our dance lessons we have created a dance routine called 'Machine where we have been thinking about the dynamics of the movement.
Science Rockstars
Year 3 have been fabulous ‘Rockstars’ they have been comparing and grouping together different kinds of rocks on the basis of appearance and simple physical properties. They have produced some fabulous work!
Planet in a Pickle Jar
During our first few days of Year 3, we worked on the gorgeously illustrated picture book ‘Planet in a Pickle Jar’ by Martin Stanev. This book is about not judging people based on appearances, and how families can work together to help save the planet. We worked on lots of different activities based on the book and at the end of the week we all filled a pickle jar with something we love! Year 3 absolutely loved this book and their pickle jars were extremely personal and thoughtful.
Celebrating Our Lady's Birthday
Year 3 have had a fabulous few days settling into life in KS2. As part of celebrating Our Lady's birthday the children took part in a class liturgy, where they showed reverence & respect. They displayed a fabulous knowledge of the life of Our Lady throughout the liturgy. In class the children created their own statue of Mary and wrote prayers dedicated to her..
