Year 3 have been incredibly busy this half term. We have been exploring numbers up to 1000 using resources to help us represent the hundreds, tens and ones.

We continue to excel at spelling, having won a total of 9 spelling certificates, for being the class with the highest percentage of correct spellings! Keep up the good work Year 3.

In geography we have been learning about rainforests and we have begun to think about the effects of deforestation. This was the main theme of the film “Ozi~ Voice of the Forest” that we saw at Cineworld. We really enjoyed the film but it made us think about all the trees that are being cut down.

In PSHE we have been learning about living things which could bite or sting us. Ww played a game called BITER or STINGER which we really enjoyed.

We have begun to lead our own class worships, planning the music, Bible reading and prayers ourselves. Our audiences are always respectful.

We were delighted that 6 of the girls from Year 3 were chosen to represent the school in an under 9s football match against Bembridge. They showed our value of Courage to persevere in the action packed match.
