It’s been a great start to our final full term in Year 3.  The children seem to have grown so much over the Easter break, both physically and emotionally.  It was lovely to hear about all the exciting things that happened over the holiday and see photos of adventures in the park, baking at home and even some travels further afield.

The children have shown real maturity when discussing the global issue of plastic waste ahead of Earth Day.  They understand the impact on both our environment and on land-based and marine wildlife, having looked into research on plastics in the food chain and the devastating impact plastic waste is having in areas such as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.  We have all made a commitment to recycle and tackle the social and environmental problem of litter: we know that if we each make a positive change we can make a real difference so we’ll be collecting crisp packets to be recycled rather than thrown away to go into landfill.

We’ve started our new topic and are looking forward to learning about how the Roman invasions changed Britain.  We’ve got our new topic displays up and the children are desperate to produce some great work to add to them: please have a look at our new Home Learning grid for activities to enjoy at home.

In PE we’ve started our Outdoor Athletics unit ahead of Sports Day.  We had our first go at the relay sprint – have a look at our blog photos to see how it went!

Have a great weekend everyone,

The Year Three Team
