Year 3 Learning Updates

Welcome to Year 3, 2024-2025!

Year 3 have settled into the new school year remarkably well, and they have all been enthusiastic about their learning experiences so far.  This is the page where Year 3  will post all their exciting learning throughout the year.

Term 1 - Rocks and Fossils

In Science, this term’s focus has been on rocks and fossils. The children have been observing a variety of rocks and engaging in rich discussions regarding their unique properties.  They have explored the distinctions between sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks,  and in class they have been confidently sorting out different rocks into groups.

Term 1 - Computing

In Week 3, the children learnt about algorithms and debugging computer programs. Over the course of one day the children enthusiastically built moving vehicles using Lego WeDo. They followed a set of instructions to construct their robots and developed their own algorithms to control their movements and change the colours of the lights. During the day as they  worked through the various challenges, the children demonstrated remarkable problem-solving skills by debugging their programmes to ensure their robots functioned correctly. It was such an amazing day!
