In Year 3, we love our Maths learning. We have been putting our new maths resources to great use this half term, indoors and outdoors!
They may be learning remotely, but this has not stopped the year three children producing some fantastic written work. They have been reading the Maya Legend, The Hero Twins this week. Yesterday, they designed and wrote missing posters for the elusive twins. We think they are brilliant and we are very proud of their work!
We may be isolating and learning from home but that doesn’t stop us doing our own sports day activities.
Year 3 have really got into the competitive spirit this afternoon, challenging themselves in their gardens and homes. Well done, you are all stars!
Year 3 are all set for the England match this evening. They have been designing and creating their own flags, strips and banners during their home learning on Friday! An absolutely brilliant effort. Let’s hope the England team work just as hard as the Year 3 children!

Earlier in June, Year 3 had an interesting meeting with the Climate Change team at South Tyneside Council as part of our courageous advocacy project. They have just released a toolkit to help schools become carbon neutral and we are one of the first schools to be using this. We have lots of measures already in place, however Year 3 have identified some areas that we could be better at too. They are working and they’re hoping to share their campaign during our Friday assembly soon!
Year 3 enjoyed their morning in the prayer spaces set up by the others classes on Friday morning. We visited our own prayer space called going for goals, the Reception class prayer space and that of the Year 1s. The weather conditions were perfect. We were able to respond and reflect outdoors and really appreciate our beautiful surroundings. We can’t wait to spend some time visiting the others next week.
Year 3 thoroughly enjoyed Music Day and really impressed Mrs Wells with their musical capabilities. They started off improvising to the song Hot cross Buns and then soon learnt that the different ways they were clapping linked to musical notes of different lengths. It didn’t take them long to understand crotchets, quavers and minims and before they knew it, they were being composers. They played around with the words from the song and thought about the scale too. As they were so amazing, it didn’t stop there. Not only did they compose on paper, they were also able to digitally compose using Google Chrome Lab. Check out their amazing work on Seesaw. We are so proud of you all
Year 3 continue their mental health awareness week by taking their learning outdoors. Today is was for Mrs Bradley’s English lesson where the children debated and performed different moral dilemmas.
Who would’ve thought you could have so much fun with a dictionary? Year 3 certainly had fun in English this morning. Working in pairs and armed with dictionaries, they searched for key vocabulary from our new text The Kapok Tree.
Year 3 enjoyed a reading comprehension lesson with a twist last week. Rather than write answers taken from a text into their books, Mrs Bradley had the children create their own quiz cards about the Ancient Maya civilisation. We hope the grown ups at home enjoyed being been tested! 😀
