I hope this message finds you well.

I’m genuinely excited to be teaching such a bright and enthusiastic group. This Autumn term holds so many wonderful opportunities for growth, learning, and creativity, and I look forward to supporting each child as they continue their journey through Key Stage 2.

Partnership between home and school is so important, and I look forward to working closely with you to ensure a happy, successful, and memorable year for your child.

Thank you for your continued support. Here’s to a fantastic term ahead!

As we approach the end of Autumn 1, Year 3 have really grown into their responsibilities and routines—and what a brilliant week it’s been!

In English, we’ve been building up to our first big write, inspired by Gregory Cool, with children developing their ideas and growing in confidence as writers. Over in Computing, the class had great fun creating their own animations using Scratch, combining coding with storytelling.

Our PSHE lessons focused on inclusivity and celebrating different cultures as part of Black History Month, which we also honoured in Art by studying influential Black artists and creating our own tribute pieces.

In Science, we explored magnets and forces through hands-on investigations, sparking lots of curiosity and discussion.

It’s been a week full of creativity, learning, and celebration—well done, Year 3!

What a brilliant week we've had in Year 3!

We were incredibly proud to take part in our Black History Month assembly, where the children confidently shared their learning and celebrated the achievements and contributions of inspirational Black figures. It was a truly special moment and a wonderful opportunity to come together as a school community.

In Maths, we’ve kicked off our new unit on Addition and Subtraction. The children have shown great enthusiasm, tackling new challenges with determination and beginning to build on their mental and written strategies.

Over in English, we’re getting closer to our final writing outcome, and it’s been fantastic to see the children developing their ideas, using rich vocabulary, and showing pride in their progress.

This week has been full of exciting learning opportunities across the school!

One of the highlights was a fantastic school trip to Southwark Cathedral, where pupils deepened their understanding of the Romans. It was a fun and educational day, with lots of curiosity, questions, and enthusiasm on display. The children thoroughly enjoyed exploring history in such an inspiring setting.

Back in school, there has been great learning happening across all subjects. From hands-on maths to creative writing and engaging science experiments, pupils have shown brilliant focus and effort throughout the week.

A special mention goes to Year 3, who are really beginning to flourish in Key Stage 2. It’s been wonderful to see their growing independence, confidence, and love for learning.

Well done to everyone for a great week!

Year 3 had an exciting and fun-filled week of learning!

In Science, we explored how different surfaces affect forces—our curious learners enjoyed testing out their ideas in hands-on experiments. One of the week's highlights was a lively Hula Hoop Challenge, which brought lots of laughs and teamwork. We even had a special adventure into the staffroom!

In English, we focused on expressing emotions through freeze frames. The children really got into character, and it was fantastic to see their creativity shine.

We've had a fantastic start to Year 3, as pupils settled in quickly and enthusiastically returned to learning.

The term began with a focus on revisiting key elements from previous years, including sentence structure and grammar, to ensure a solid foundation for KS2. We reintroduced familiar topics, helping to bridge prior knowledge with new expectations, while beginning to push for greater depth and independence in their learning.

It's been a confident and positive transition into Key Stage 2 — we’re excited to see what the rest of the year brings!
