Year 3 - Spring 1 - Week 2
Date: 15th Jan 2026 @ 4:50pm
This week we stepped back in time and imagined ourselves living in the Stone Age, inspired by the story ‘Stone Age Boy’. We wrote diary entries describing what it might have been like to camp, hunt, and explore during that time. The children used brilliant descriptive language and really brought their Stone Age adventures to life.
In Maths, we explored what happens when we multiply numbers by 10. We used our place value knowledge to help us understand how digits shift to make numbers ten times bigger. We also compared different multiplication questions and explained our reasoning clearly.
In RE, we read the story of ‘Levi’ and reflected on what mattered to him before and after meeting Jesus. The children had thoughtful discussions about change, kindness, and making good choices.
Our value this week in collective worship was Serve. We linked this to the story of Jesus washing the disciples’ feet and talked about how we can show service in our own lives through small, everyday actions.
After spending time in the Stone Age, we moved forward in history to explore the Bronze Age. We learned about new tools, materials, and how life began to change for early people.
In Outdoor learning, we created beautiful nature bracelets using leaves, petals, and other natural treasures we found outside. We had so much fun!
Our Science investigation focused on light and reflection. We tested different materials to see which ones reflected light and which ones didn’t. The children made great predictions and observations.
We ended the week with our very first drumming session! The children absolutely loved it and showed fantastic rhythm and enthusiasm. We can’t wait for the next one.
Reminders:
- PE days continue every Wednesday and Thursday
- Outdoor learning will be every Tuesday.
