In our year group, we have three classes named after characters from The Jungle Book story – Mowgli, Baloo and Bagheera.
The class teachers in Year 3 are Miss Fitzpatrick, Mrs Munro and Miss Norman.
We are so lucky to have lots of other adults working with us, including: Mrs Kahn, Mrs Tarry, Mr Jackson, Miss Qasim, Mrs Zveaghinteva and Miss Gjinaj.

There are several learning links on this page if you are looking for homework help or online activities. We have lots of exciting learning to look forward to so keep checking back on the blog to find out what we are up to in Year 3.
Over the last two weeks, 3BG have enjoyed some time at Forest School to explore the changes in the environment as the Spring season begins. As part of the sessions, the children were able to take part in a number of activities such as woodwork skills, creating God’s eyes (twisted string around sticks) and learnt how to whittle sticks to create bows and arrows.
The Year 3 children had a very busy and exciting time in school on the last week of the Spring Term. 3BG had an excursion to Chester House and Stanwick Lakes. The sun was shining and the weather was glorious during the day to enhance our fun learning experiences.
The adventures began at Chester House following the timeline trail through history. The children viewed the excavation sites and explored many artefacts in the museum. While at Stanwick Lakes, they had many more adventures discovering fossils, relics and artefacts. We uncovered a garden of woad plants (used for blue dye) and discovered how to build a Bronze Age boat using ancient techniques. A highlight of the trip was seeing the Roundhhouses in real life and experiencing how the natural resources of wattle and daub techniques were used to construct these ancient homes, which provided us with shelter from the unpredictable weather.
Alongside the day outing, in school, the children extended their knowledge by learning how to write in Latin using ink writing techniques and they created Roman pottery and beautiful mosaics. As well as this, they re-enacted the Roman battle formations and learnt about the rebellion of Celts against the Roman army, led by Queen Boudicca.
We hope the children regale you with the tales of their journey through time, from the Iron Age to the Roman era.
