Year 3
Teachers – Mrs Webster and Mrs Clarke
Teaching Partners – Mrs Bowles and Miss Howes
Year 3 have made a fantastic start to our new term and are continuing to work hard across all areas
of the curriculum.
Our history topic for this term is The Romans and the legacy they left behind for Britain. The children
always find this a very exciting topic and enjoy making Roman shields!
In Science, we are learning about light. This ties in nicely to our art topic this term, where we will be
looking at the work of Seurat and his innovative work on light and pointillism.
We are looking forward to learning more about the orchestra when we go to the Sheldonian theatre
in Oxford for the Schools’ concert – what a fantastic opportunity!
Please see our Spring Term Topic web below for more information on our Year 3 curriculum!
Year 3 continue to really impress us with their hard-working attitude and we are looking forward to
lots of exciting learning through the spring!”

Growth Mindset
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.
Autumn 1 - Hardworking
Autumn 2 - Reflective

Investigating Light
We had great fun investigating light with Mr. Morgan.
Our challenge was to make the gem light up using mirrors.
