The children are really enjoying learning French. We have been learning to say hello and goodbye, in addition to saying what we are called in French.
Bonjour – good day, which we use during the day.
Bonsoir – good evening, which we use in the evening.
Bonne nuit – good night, which we use at night.
Salut – hi!
Comment tu t’appelles ? – What is your name?
Je m’appelle… – my name is …
Au revoir – goodbye
The children enjoyed reading looking at our new book ‘Flotsam’.
The children used their detective skills to infer who the belongings washed up on the beach might belong to.
The children inferred the following:
Tray 1 – a fisherman
Tray 2 – a teacher
Tray 3 – a pirate
Tray 4 – a scientist or an explorer
Tray 5 – a sunbather (child)
We have had a great first week in year 3!
We have been reading the book ‘The Dot’. The children explored the idea of perseverance and simply ‘having a go’.
We looked at the idea of starting ‘somewhere’ by making a mark (a dot) and seeing where it would take us. Here are some of our pictures:
The children also produced some writing from a given starting point.
All of the children have been working collaboratively to produce a piece of artwork based on ‘The Dot’. We can’t wait to see the finished result.
As a class, we created a ‘class charter’ and set out our expectations for the year ahead. We also looked at our school value of ‘community’. The children created jigsaw puzzle pieces to show that we are all unique but fit together perfectly.
The children explored how to provide constructive feedback and how to act upon it. This is a skill that we hope we will continue to develop this year.
Hello and welcome to Year 3!
You’ll find below our learning overview for term 1 across all of our subjects, along with our KIRFs (Key Instant Recall Facts) for maths for this term (number bonds to 20). We are looking forward to an exciting term of learning, which we will share both here and on ClassDojo.
Useful Information
PE this year is split across 2 different days – Mondays and Fridays.
PE kit for all children: Navy Shorts and white T-shirt, plimsolls/ trainers. A navy-blue tracksuit for colder weather – further details can be found on the school website by following this link – School Uniform
The classrooms can be very warm with everyone busy learning, so please ensure your child has a clearly labelled water bottle with them in school each day to keep them hydrated and able to learn.
As a reminder, the school day starts at 8.30 am and ends at 3.15 pm. Please aim to arrive at school at 8.30am, as important Start Of Day Activities (SODA) take place during the time before worship and we would like all children to benefit from the maximum amount of learning time.
We are really looking forward to getting started and getting to know you all over the next few weeks. If you have any queries, please direct them to your class teacher in the first instance.

On Tuesday 18th July, year 3 visited Battle Abbey, finishing the year where we started… learning about the Norman Conquest. We all had a great time looking around the abbey ruins, the museum and visitor centre and following the battlefield tour.
Waiting patiently to enter the abbey grounds.
Once inside the grounds, we separated into three groups all starting with a different area of this historic site. We moved around the site looking at all three parts.
The Ruins
The Walled Garden
The Battlefield Tour
The Museum and Visitor Centre
Today, the children started this term’s art unit about weaving. They learnt how fabrics are made by weaving threads together. To get started, the children created a paper weave using a cardboard backing and strips of coloured paper.
The final results were stunning coloured chequer-board patterns!
Having practised with paper, the next step was to use wool and fabric. The children made a start on this ahead of the next lesson.
