Year 3

Lilac and Alder

As we come to the end of another fantastic term, Year 3 can look back with pride on everything they have achieved. Our Ancient Greece topic has been a huge success, and the children fully embraced every aspect of their learning—even if the weather decided to make us feel as though we were in the Mediterranean too!

The term began with a bang during our visit to Clarendon for an exciting science show. The children were fascinated by the spectacular experiments, particularly the elephant's toothpaste demonstration and the fiery displays. Thankfully, they were reminded that these are definitely experiments for the experts!

One of the standout moments of the term was our whole-school poetry competition. The quality of writing across Year 3 was exceptional, making it incredibly difficult to choose our finalists. Every child should be proud of the imagination, creativity and confidence they showed, both in their writing and in their performances on stage.

Our annual Art Day was another memorable occasion. The children took part in a Year 3 performance celebrating the wonderful topics we have explored throughout the year. Their enthusiasm for the dancing, acting and, of course, the slow-motion recreation of the Siege of Troy was infectious, and they performed brilliantly.

Sports Day was another fantastic highlight of the term. Although the exceptionally hot weather meant we had to make the difficult decision to hold the event without parents attending, the children embraced the day with enthusiasm, determination and excellent sportsmanship. They cheered one another on, celebrated each other's successes and demonstrated great resilience in every event. We were incredibly proud of the way they represented Year 3, making it an enjoyable and memorable day for everyone involved.

After weeks of dedicated practice with the fantastic Mr Garcia, the children also showcased their drumming talents in a wonderful performance. It was a pleasure to see the confidence they had developed and the enjoyment they brought to the stage. A special mention must go to Isaac, whose drum kit solo was truly outstanding.

One of the biggest highlights of the term was undoubtedly our Ancient Greece Topic Day. Having spent weeks learning about Greek myths, including the stories of Icarus and Medusa, the children arrived dressed in impressive togas and immersed themselves in a day of Greek-inspired activities. They enjoyed making their own Greek sandals, and many were adventurous enough to sample a range of traditional Greek foods—some proving more popular than others!

As our Year 3 journey comes to an end, we would like to thank the children for making this such a rewarding and enjoyable year. They have shown kindness, resilience, curiosity and a willingness to challenge themselves, and it has been a privilege to watch them grow both academically and personally.
