Christian Value
Our focus for this half term is FORGIVENESS. We will be adding to our Values tab how we are exploring how that looks in our school and how we can live it out in our lives, as Jesus taught us to.
Religious Education
Our RE enriches all of our learning. This term, we are looking at the question...
Why is the Bible important to Christians?
Things to remember:
- School planners with reading book should be brought in everyday.
- Each child should have their own water bottle in school that they can use in class.
- PE lessons are on Mondays.
Toast can be purchased online and it is £10 a term.

What will we be learning this term?
In English, we will be studying the emotive text 'The Silence Seeker' by Ben Morley.
It's a story about a family who move into the house next door to Joe. Joe's Mum explains that their new neighbours are asylum seekers who have travelled a long way. Maybe they escaped from war and now need peace and quiet. "Silence seekers!" says Joe. "I can find peace and quiet. This is my city ..."
Our Knowledge Organisers cover the knowledge and skills that Year 3 will be learning.
In Science we will be learning about Forces and Magnets
In Geography, we will learn 'What are rivers and how are they used?'
We love to read!
Children will have their own reading books to take home. We look forward to seeing your progress and adding a marble to our reading jar for super reading skills. When our reading jar is full, we will celebrate with a class reward.
Children in Year 3 enjoy focussed reading sessions every day where you can develop your reading and comprehension skills.
There is also a reading corner in the classroom where children can enjoy a quiet read.
We will be reading a class book - This term, we are reading... The Iron Man by Ted Hughes.

In Spring 1, Year 3 visited St Luke's Church in Brinnington
Year 3 enjoyed a great visit to St Luke's Church. They were welcomed by Reverend Andy and a team of volunteers from the church.
During the morning, both Year 3 classes took part in a range of activities to enrich their learning about Christianity. The children looked at different styles of Bibles, some of which were very old. They were challenged to find specific Bible verses that teach the importance of the Bible and the children discussed how the words of the Bible share the message of God. In groups , the children learnt how God can communicate with us, using songs and stories, letters and analogies to describe experiences and how these can help us in our everyday lives.
It was lovely to welcome parent helpers on our visit and Year 3 staff and children would like to say thank you for supporting us with our learning.
