Welcome to Year 3
Our Class Saint is St. Paul
We are so happy to welcome you to a brand-new school year! We have lots of exciting topics, fun activities, and wonderful learning planned, and we can’t wait to explore them with you. Moving into Year 3 is a big step, but don’t worry—we’ll be right here to help, guide, and cheer you on every day.
Year 3 is also a very special year on your faith journey. This is the year you will get ready to receive Jesus in Holy Communion for the very first time. We feel blessed to share this important time with you and to help you grow closer to God.
Have a look at the overviews below to see all the amazing things we’ll be learning together. We can’t wait to start this exciting and blessed year with you!
Spring Term 1
Autumn Term 2
In Autumn 2, Year 3 took part in a Celebration of the Word focused on Remembrance. In English, we explored Stone Age Boy, using role play to imagine what might happen when the characters met. We celebrated becoming part of the St Gabriel the Archangel Catholic Multi-Academy Trust, with a special day focused on activities related to St Gabriel. We also enjoyed festive activities including our Christmas party, our Carol Service with Year 4, and ended the term by reflecting on the true meaning of Christmas.
Autumn Term 1
Year 3 have had a fantastic start to the new school year, settling well into their routines and showing great enthusiasm for learning. We enjoyed planning and preparing various Celebrations of the Word and participating in our first Stay & Pray. In Geography, we worked on map reading skills, learning how to use keys and symbols. In Design and Technology, the children loved designing and building castles, showing creativity and teamwork. We have also begun learning the ukulele, which the children are really enjoying.
