Welcome to Year 3!

This week so far: 

What a wonderful week we have had in Year 3, especially with our fantastic school trip to St Albans Verulamium! The children loved exploring the museum and learning about Roman life through fascinating 2,000-year-old artefacts, ruins and beautiful mosaics. It was amazing to see history come to life and the children asked some brilliant questions throughout the day. The museum staff were incredibly complimentary about the children's behaviour. They were respectful in the museum, listened carefully and took part enthusiastically in all the workshops. We were extremely proud of the way they represented our school.

In English, we have been planning our Dear Earth Letters. The children have been identifying problems in our world and thinking carefully about how we can help to protect our planet. We have also been using setting descriptions to describe our favourite places, focusing on including interesting vocabulary and sensory details to bring our writing to life.

In Maths, we have continued our work on place value, comparing and ordering numbers and explaining our reasoning. The children have shown increasing confidence when using mathematical vocabulary and sharing their mathematical thinking with hundreds, tens and ones.

In History, we have built on our learning about the Romans by reflecting on everything we discovered during our trip. The children enjoyed discussing what they saw at Verulamium and sharing their favourite facts about Roman Britain.

In Science, we have continued learning about rocks and soils. The children have investigated different types of rocks and described their properties using scientific vocabulary.

During PE, we have continued developing our football skills through a range of activities and team games. It has been wonderful to see the children demonstrating teamwork, determination and excellent sportsmanship.

Have a great weekend!
