Welcome to year 3!

Year 3 are working really hard to develop their Growth Mindset through perseverance. 

We talk a lot in year 3 about how mistakes are marvellous and that is how we learn.

Our history topic for this term is The Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age and how pre-history
became history. We will be learning about how life changed in Britain during each era. We are
looking forward to our trip to Hill End which will reinforce our knowledge and understanding of this
topic. This topic theme will also thread through our English and Guided Reading.

In Science, we are learning about animals including humans, enjoying looking at all things food, bone
and muscle-related. This links in nicely to our DT topic of seasonal food. After half term we will be
making seasonal stockings in our DT.

Please see our Autumn Term Topic web in the Termly News section for more information on our Year 3 curriculum!

We are really pleased with how well the children have settled in to year 3 and the super work that
they are doing.

Growth Mindset

Image14

Growth mindset is about having a positive attitude and supports being a successful learner.

Showing a growth mindset helps us face challenges, overcome failure and
be resilient. At WCP we celebrate mistakes in all subjects as we know that that can be the first attempt in learning. We discuss how our
learning behaviours contribute to be successful in school and relate this to
future ambitions. Each term we focus on a particular learning behaviour
that is linked to growth mindset and certificates are awarded to children who show these learning behaviours in school.

Investigating Light

We had great fun investigating light with Mr. Morgan.

Our challenge was to make the gem light up using mirrors.
