Year 3
Welcome to our Year 3 class page!
Class Teacher - Mrs Sharrock
Teaching Assistant - Ms Johnson and Mrs Martin
Year 3 is such a brilliant year and we can't wait to start our learning journey with you! Your child will be transitioning from Key stage 1 into Key stage 2 which is not only a scary time but also an exciting time. In Year 3, we will be building on and developing children's previous learning in Year 2 as well as creating our own amazing learning journey along the way. Throughout the course of the year, your child will be learning about new topics and subjects and we look forward to sharing our journey with you.
Keep checking in to catch up with what the children are doing throughout the year as we will be updating our page regularly.
You can check out what we are learning this year by downloading our Curriculum Overview (the link is below).

Protected Characteristics
We shared 'We are all different' as part of our Protected Characteristics learning. Psalm 13 9-11 tells us 'I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made' - we used our voices to express opinions, thoughts and interests, staying positive and resilient. #PSHE #ProtectedCharacteristics
We shared the story ‘The Proudest Blue’ in our Protected Characteristics lesson. Proverbs 16:3 says ‘Commit your actions to the Lord, & your plans will succeed’ - we explored how difficult challenges can be & identified our successes #PSHE #DreamsAndGoals
PSHE - First Aid
We have been learning what is meant by first aid and how to respond and react in an emergency situation. We've been learning basic life support, how to contact the emergency services and what to say to them. #FirstAid #KeepingSafe #PSHE
NSPCC - Speak out! Stay safe!
Year 3 have been learning about Speak out! Stay safe! with the NSPCC. We have learnt about children's rights and we know that a safe, trusted adult will always listen to us if we feel upset or worried. #SpeakOutStaySafe #PSHE #NSPCC

Aspirations - we can be whatever we want to be! #PSHE #CareersAndAspirations
Anti-Bullying Week
We enjoyed going to our wonderful school library to share the story, Don't touch my hair, about showing respect, as part of Anti-Bullying Week. We linked this to our #PSHE learning about respecting each other. #Respect #AntiBullyingWeek #CelebratingDifference
Odd Socks Day
PAThS
As part of our daily practice, we celebrate all the wonderful things about each other with our PAThS Pupil of the Day!
We give our POTD compliments - this could be something they're good at, something we like about their appearance or something about their character.
Our POTD is encouraged to give their self a compliment and this is taken home for a compliment to be given at home too. #PAThS #PSHE
To Know You More Clearly
Within branch 1 of our 'To know you more clearly' topic we have been looking at the story of creation. The children created some amazing artwork based on Psalm 8.
Prayer & Liturgy
Year 3 have been doing an amazing job leading our prayer and liturgy sessions.
PSHE - Picture News
Each week, we look at what's in the news and we respond to a 'big question', which supports our PSHE curriculum. #PSHE #PictureNews
We shared a beautiful Prayer and Liturgy all about HOPE from our Picture News topic last week.
This half term, we are learning to play handball in PE. We are practising being more accurate with our throwing and catching skills. We are learning how to intercept and dodge safely and following the in-game rules. #PE
