Year 3 2025-2026 Blog

It's been an exciting day in school today as we took part in a film for the Department for Education on school attendance. It shows the value of school and shows how it’s more than schoolwork. Being in school can help children build resilience, learn social skills, boost their confidence, and teach them that they can do hard things. In short, this is about the social and emotional benefits of school, which we put at the heart of at Broadbent Fold. Thank you for all staff and parents for taking part. 

Nechen, our Mental Health Practitioner, did another session on worry this week. We talked about different strategies we can use when feeling worried. We then made our own worry monsters that we can tell our worries to. 

Congratulations to all of our award winners in year 3 this week.

Year 3 have enjoyed exploring how different pulley mechanisms work. We have made working flag poles using bulldog clips. We have attached pulleys to our lego constructions. We have explored how cogs and gears work. We have also used our scientific skills to measure the force needed to lift different amounts of water using a Newton Metre. We are now ready to make informed designs to create a crane to help the Iron Man escape from a trap.
