RE and World Views Day
Year 3 have been exploring the story of The Good Samaritan. Through this story, we’ve focused on the Christian values of kindness, compassion, and what it truly means to "love your neighbour." To bring the story to life, the children took part in a wide range of creative and reflective activities. These included Kindness Bingo, where pupils challenged themselves to carry out acts of kindness throughout the day, Values Hands, where each child created a handprint displaying the Christian value they felt was most important in the story and Storyboarding the Parable, using a range of Bible versions to retell the story in their own words and illustrations.
History- Stone Age to Iron Age
In our History lesson, Year 3 have been learning all about life in the Stone Age, with a particular focus on hunter-gatherers and how their way of life began to change over time. Working in pairs, the children explored a range of historical statements and worked together to decide: What changes happened to hunter-gatherer lives and whether these changes were big or small.
English- Leon and the Place Between
We have been working hard on creating freeze frames based on a scene from our English book, Leon and the Place Between. We had to stay in character at all times and think carefully about how our poses, expressions, and body language reflected what was happening in the story. We practised our lines and used our voices to match the mood and actions of the scene.
Maths- We have been working hard in maths, using place value counters to create and represent different numbers on our place value chart.
Art- Fabulous work created during an expressive session with Mrs. Vatter, where students explored the dynamic power of gestural mark-making using charcoal.
Some children from Year 3 had a wonderful time reading with Susan and James the dog today! They loved listening to our stories, and we loved sharing them.
PE- We have been learning how to hold our hockey sticks correctly and move the ball with control. Mrs Hampson was impressed with our great focus and enthusiasm!
Science - In Year 3, we’ve been busy working together to sort and explore different types of plants we know. Fantastic teamwork from everybody!

RE Day- Year 3 spent a fantastic day exploring the Bible story of The Good Samaritan. Throughout the day, we took part in a wide range of exciting activities that helped us understand the importance of kindness, compassion, and helping others. We created a banner for the school hall, created short performances of the story, and designed our own storyboards to retell the parable in our own words. We had the best day bringing the message of the Good Samaritan to life.
