Year 3 - Spring 1 - Week 6

Date: 12th Feb 2026 @ 11:37am

This week in Collective Worship, we explored how we can take care of the world around us. We began by sharing all the things we love about our environment, from animals and trees to oceans and fresh air. The children thought carefully about the small actions we can take each day to protect our beautiful planet.

In RE, we reflected on modern-day people who changed their lives because of Jesus. We focused on Mother Teresa, learning about her kindness, dedication, and desire to help others. The children shared thoughtful ideas about how her actions inspire people today.

For Internet Safety Day, Year 3 learned all about AI. We discussed how AI can be useful, like helping us write stories or answer questions, but also how it can sometimes give incorrect information, so we need to think carefully and check facts.
The children had a brilliant time experimenting with what AI can do, creating stories and trying out fun quizzes!

In English, the class stepped into the roles of both authors and illustrators while creating their very own author books. They worked so hard writing up their Stone Age stories and illustrating them with creativity and care. The final pieces look fantastic!

In Maths, we continued learning about division, looking closely at dividing with remainders. The children also explored scaling, using multiplication and division to solve problems. They have impressed us with their perseverance and growing confidence.

During outdoor learning, Year 3 were set a challenge: find objects in the environment that matched different criteria. Children looked for things that could be a good habitat, objects that felt rough or smooth, and materials that could decompose. Their curiosity and careful observation skills shone through!

In Art, Year 3 designed and created their own cardboard sculptures. They used different joining techniques to build their creations and worked carefully to bring their designs to life. The sculptures were wonderfully imaginative and showed fantastic problem-solving skills.

Reminders:

After half term, PE days will be Tuesday and Wednesday. Please ensure the children come in their PE kit and trainers on these days.
