Year 3

 Mr Navarro, Mrs Harber, Miss Robson, Mrs Porter, Mr Armstrong

Year Three (Y3) is the first of four years children spend in Key Stage Two (KS2).

They follow the Y3 or lower KS2 programmes of study from the Primary Curriculum published September 2014. Children are taught key subjects through specific units of work for example themes and projects such as Take One Picture, STAR WARS during STEM fortnight, Pandora and the Greeks.

Children can be taught by different teachers. For example, in Music, Spanish and PE they work with a number of specialist coaches in tennis and cricket.

They also have access to an exciting range of extra-curricular clubs such as Choir, Football and Dance. 

For further information about Y3 please refer to Y3 Routines and Procedures and Curriculum Maps.

• Tuesday 17 December 2024 Y3 Masks Year 3 have been exploring the Amazon Rainforest in Geography. As part of their DT project, they created incredible animal masks inspired by creatures found in rainforests around the world. Each mask started with a simple paper plate, cut, shaped and secured using masking tape. The children then added colour and intricate details using tissue paper and glue. Take a look at the fantastic tigers and sloths they've made!
• Thursday 12 December 2024 Y3 Lord Lieutenant of Northumberland's Carol Service Year 3 children were invited to sing at a special service held for the whole of Northumberland to celebrate the county's community spirit. We were one of three musical interludes. We sang carols with a brass band and listened to some fantastic singers from Vox Populi.
• Tuesday 3 December 2024 Year 3 - Nutrition This week children have been looking at Nutrition in Science. We have investigated the Nutrition Facts labels of some foods and compared them with each other. Children identified the nutrients that matched with foods and how the nutrients help our body. We talked about how our body needs a range of food to remain healthy - if all we ate was carrots, we wouldn't be healthy!
• Tuesday 19 November 2024 Year 3 Orienteering In Year 3, the children have been developing their orienteering skills during outdoor learning sessions on the Sele Playing Field. Orienteering combines map reading and physical activity, helping children build confidence in their navigational abilities while staying active.
