Our Year 3 Diary: Spring 2026

In Maths, we have learnt our 3, 4 and 8 times tables and completed a unit of Multiplication and Division.

In English, we have written a set of instructions using imperative (bossy) verbs, studied a losing tale and different types of poetry. We ended the term writing our own Adventure Tales.

In RE this term, we learnt about why Good Friday is important to Christians. St. Mary’s church came to tell us the Easter story.

We took part in the Key Stage 2 production of the Minotaur. We learnt a class dance and lots of songs!

In DT, we designed a healthy breakfast pot and tried some new food.

In PE,  we enjoyed our swimming lessons at Loughborough Leisure centre. The bus journey was fun too!

Our Year 3 Diary: Autumn 2025

We have had a great first term in Key Stage Two! We have been learning new routines and growing independence as well as all of the maths, English, Science and Foundation Subject learning!

Maths

We used manipulatives to work out addition and subtraction problems before moving on to formal column methods.

English

We have created wishing tales inspired by Odd Dog Out by Rob Biddulph. We were very creative with our settings, using adjectives, adverbs and expanded noun phrases. Some of us even included speech!

You may recognise Odd Dog from your calendar.

History

I-pads helped us investigate Ancient Egyptian artefacts. We used iPads to explore some incredible artefacts in the Tut Hall Virtual Tour. What can you find? https://discover.matterport.com/space/85n8j312Ur4

Art

Do you like our clay minibeasts?

We were inspired by the illustrations of Quentin Blake and our class novel, James and the Giant Peach, by Roald Dahl.
