ðŦ Welcome to Year 3! A Brilliant First Week Back
What a fantastic start to the new school year! Our first week in Year 3 has flown by, and the children have settled in amazingly well. It’s been wonderful to see so many smiling faces, eager to learn and take on new challenges.
âïļ Sharpening Our English Skills
In English, we’ve jumped straight into developing our writing skills by focusing on apostrophes. We explored the two main types — apostrophes for possession and for contraction — and practised using them correctly in our own writing. The children have shown great focus and attention to detail!
ðĶī Science: Super Skeletons
Our science topic this term is the human body, and we’ve started by looking at the skeletal system. We learned that humans have an endoskeleton (a skeleton inside the body), while some animals, like insects, have an exoskeleton on the outside. There were lots of curious questions and fun facts shared during our discussions!
ðïļ Time Travelling in History
In History, we began our journey back in time to the Stone Age. We discovered that this period is split into three key stages: Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic. The children were fascinated to learn that people in the Paleolithic period were nomads, meaning they moved from place to place in search of food and shelter.
ðâïļ Making a Splash!
To end our first week, we enjoyed our very first swimming lesson — and what a splash we made! It was fantastic to see so many children confidently diving into the deep end and giving it their all. A brilliant way to finish off a busy and exciting week.
We’re so proud of how well the children have started the term. Here’s to a year full of learning, discovery, and fun!
