Year 3
Welcome to Year 3
Not only are the children entering Year 3 this year, but it also marks their transition into Phase 3 and Key Stage 2.
After the ups and downs of the last couple of years, we aim to continue to allow the children to develop their skills of resilience, independence and responsibility. We will work collaboratively to learn, share and explore the world around us, and we have some exciting topics to help us do this. We will continue to build friendships, make good choices and value and respect those around us.

We have been using the story, 'The Bear and the Piano, as inspiration for work in dance. We've learnt about and experimented with the 5 elements of dance: jump, turn, stillness, gesture and travel and have combined these movements to choreograph our work. We have started working in pairs and learnt how important trust is when trying out counterbalances and weight sharing. The children have been really imaginative and brave when trying out their own creative movement ideas.
On National Poetry Day Year 3 joined other schools across the country with a Michael Rosen Crowdcast session. They enjoyed listening to Michael perform his poems, joined in with some and were inspired to write a poem of their own called, 'I was Born in the Potato Age'. 3B were particularly excited to hear Michael Rosen mention them and perform one of their favourite poems, 'Fast Food'!
