🌟 This Week in Year 3

In RE, the children greatly enjoyed their visit to St Peter’s Church. They explored the different areas and features of the church, learned the names and purposes of key objects and were even able to watch a baptism taking place. It was a memorable experience that brought our learning to life.

In Maths, we have been solving problems involving measure, applying our skills to real‑life contexts and deepening our understanding of length, mass and capacity. We will be moving on to statistics, where the children will learn to interpret and use information presented in pictograms, bar charts and tables.

In English, the children have been busy planning and writing an advert encouraging people to visit the rainforest, using persuasive language and vivid description. Next, we will begin a brand‑new text, The Fossil Hunter, starting with a diary entry inspired by the story.

We have also been hard at work preparing for our School Art Exhibition next Friday 12th June at 2:30pm. You are warmly invited to join us and see how the children have explored portrait styles inspired by artists such as Naomi Vona and Andy Warhol. Their creativity has been fantastic to watch.

In Science, we have begun our new topic on Rocks and Minerals, investigating different types of rocks and thinking about how they are formed.

🔍 Looking Ahead to Next Week

We are also looking forward to District Sports next Wednesday, where we know the children will once again impress us with their teamwork, sportsmanship and determination. You will have received an email if your child is taking part. 

Year 5 Learning Update - Friday 5th June 2026

River Trip

Year 5 completed last half term with a fantastic trip to the River Hamble. The children enjoyed walking to the local river and taking part in a range of fieldwork activities at Bubbling Sands and Robbie's River, including exploring the river’s depth, width and flow speed. They also sketched the scenery and even had the opportunity to paddle in the river! The children represented the school brilliantly and showed great enthusiasm throughout the day.

Following half term, we have quickly settled into some exciting new topics for the summer term.

DT

In DT, we are continuing our soft toy project, exploring ways to dye fabric and develop our sewing techniques in preparation for creating our final designs.

English

Our new class text is The London Eye Mystery. The children have begun exploring the characters and creating sensory maps to describe different locations from the story using rich vocabulary and descriptive ideas.

PE

In PE, we have started units on Rounders and Kwik Cricket, focusing on teamwork, throwing, bowling and catching skills while learning how to work effectively as a team.

We are looking forward to an exciting and busy summer term ahead!
