Year 3 2025-2026 Blog

Topic Information Sp2- Does the world need the Iron Man?

Year 3 will be exploring Ted Hughes' The Iron Man- is he a hero or a villain? We will explore the themes of prejudice, bravery and acceptance through our class text which will inspire us to create our own hero narratives. In maths we will continue to learn our 3, 4 and 8 x table facts- can you practise this at home? We are looking forward to our Crumble Coding workshop on 2nd March- please ensure this is paid for so it can go ahead. Don't forget World Book Day events in the second week back. We have a very busy 5 weeks.

Children’s Mental Health Week

, , , , , , ,

Year 3 are completing a challenge each day to recognise Children’s Mental Health Week and then we will win a certificate. Today for Wellbeing Wednesday we focused on breathing and mindfulness. We watched a clip about what happens to our brains when we feel different emotions. The work being completed is lovely and I hope it helps with some strategies for looking after wellbeing. So far we have looked at positive affirmations, gratefulness and breathing.
