Cycle 3

Great work Year 3 we are nearly half way through the school year! Time flies when you’re having fun and this has definitely been the case in Cycle 2! We have gone back in time and researched Stone Age to Iron Age, attracted knowledge through our Science topic of Magnets and forces and continued to amaze us as Mathematicians.

Cycle 2

During our last learning cycle we had lots of fun in Year 3. We have worked extremely hard in all our subjects, and our aim is to keep up the hard working atmosphere we have created. I hope that this cycle we can be successful learners once again!
