Embedded Files
Reading is a key part of learning and through a range of texts, we hope children become immersed and enjoy reading for pleasure.
Here is a list of recommended reads for Year 3 to help inspire and excite children.
VE Day
We had a great time on VE Day. We had a wonderful whole school assembly where we listened to Sir Winston Churchill's speech! We looked at footage and photos from the time and together we reflected on how grateful we are. In class we made VE Day commemorative plates designed with all things G.B!
Colchester Castle Trip

We enjoyed the museum, seeing all of the Roman and Iron age artefacts brought history to life. They even got to try on some helmets and clothing from the period.
The castle dates back to 1076.
Building Houses

Year 3 had an amazing sunny day trip to Colchester recently.
Pupils got to make an Iron Age roundhouse and a Roman villa! It was the ultimate test of teamwork and following instructions.
The children overlooking the ancient well inside the castle.
Deep down underground the castle the children were able to see the foundations of the Roman temple that once stood here.
The tour guide was impressed with how much the children knew about the Romans and their invasion of Brittain!
