Year 3 - Spring 2 - Week 3

Date: 12th Mar 2026 @ 12:01pm

In English, we have been looking closely at information posters and spotting the key features they use, such as headings, fun facts, pictures and labels. We have also been reading Big Blue Whale and using it to help us find information about why whales migrate and the incredible journeys they make.We’ve been practising using: Adverbs of time, conjunctions and prepositions. The children have worked brilliantly to use these in their own explanations about whale migration!

In RE, we have been thinking about the symbol of the cross and what it means to Christians today. We had some thoughtful discussions about whether the cross brings feelings of happiness, sadness, or hope, and the children shared some truly reflective ideas. 

To celebrate British Science Week, we explored the theme of curiosity. We went on a Curiosity Walk during outdoor learning and asked big scientific questions such as: “Why do spiders build their webs in corners?” or “Why is the grass shorter in some areas?” The children loved becoming young scientists and noticing the environment around them.

In D&T, we had so much fun designing and making our very own pneumatic toys. The children learned how air pressure can make things move, and they used syringes and tubing to bring their creations to life. Lots of problem‑solving, teamwork and creativity on display!

This week in PE, we enjoyed a calm and relaxing yoga session. The children learned new poses, practised breathing exercises and ended the session feeling very peaceful.
