Year 3 had an unforgettable day at the English Institute of Sport in Sheffield! The children were invited to take part in a fantastic range of activities, giving them the chance to experience what it’s like to train in a world‐class sporting venue. Throughout the day, they threw themselves into athletics, tennis, dance, boxing, and even ice skating — showing brilliant enthusiasm, teamwork, and resilience. The smiles said it all. It was a day full of energy, confidence‐building, and new skills, and the children represented our school beautifully. What an amazing experience for everyone involved!
Year 3 have been serving up some fantastic fraction fun in maths! To celebrate completing the first part of their fractions unit, the children created their very own paper‐plate pizzas. They carefully divided their pizzas into equal parts, chose a variety of toppings, and wrote the fractions to show exactly how much of each topping they used. They even designed their own pizza menus, showcasing both their creativity and their growing confidence with fractions. A brilliant blend of imagination and learning — well done, Year 3!
In History, we have been learning about Ancient Egypt. We looked at the different theories about how the Ancient Egyptians built the pyramids, before having a go at making our own pyramids using salt dough. We carefully thought about the tools and techniques we could use to help us create the perfect pyramid shape. We are very proud of our finished creations – take a look at the photos below!
This term in Geography, Year 3 are exploring the four layers of the rainforest 🌿🌧️ The children worked together as a team to create their own rainforests, including all four layers: the emergent layer, canopy, understory and forest floor. They showed great creativity, teamwork and a growing understanding of how plants and animals are adapted to each layer. We’re very proud of their fantastic effort!
