Year 3 2025 - 2026
Mrs Blackburn
At the heart of everything is a personalised approach to each unique individual as part of our Christian Community. The strong family ethos ensures that all children and staff feel valued, respected and grow in self-confidence. Enthusiastic and caring staff with high expectations, demonstrate care of the whole child. Through God’s guidance we encourage each and every child to
'let their light shine'
Welcome to Year 3!
I am very much looking forward to lots of learning over the final term of Year 3.
PE Days
Our PE lessons take place every Monday and Thursday. Children should come to school dressed in their PE kit on Monday and Thursday. As we aim to be outside whenever possible, please ensure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather so they can participate comfortably.
Connected Curriculum
In the second half of summer term, our learning will be inspired by the modern classic 'Zeraffa Giraffa' by award-winning author Diane Hofmeyr. This is the astonishing true story of Zeraffa and her voyage from Africa to Paris. The giraffe was sent as a gift from Egypt to France in 1826. A young boy, Atir, takes care of Zeraffa on her incredible journey. In France, Atir leads her through the countryside, and people marvel at Zeraffa. Paris falls in love with Zeraffa. The King builds her a special house in the Jardin des Plantes.
The topic web (available to download below) provides an overview of the learning planned for this term.
All homework documents and supporting resources can be found in the tab at the top of this page.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Kind regards,
Mrs Blackburn
Our Class Charter
As a rights respecting school, we wholeheartely believe in educating children about their rights and one of the first activities completed in September is to write our Class Charter. The children choose a number of articles which they feel must be met at school. It is then discussed how the adults (duty bearers) and the pupils (rights holders) in school ensure that these rights are met. Have a look at our class charter below:
