Welcome to Year 3!

Our class teachers are Mrs Kalchev and Miss Rawlings, and we are very lucky to have Mrs Simpson as our Teaching Assistant. The children have settled brilliantly into life in Key Stage 2 and have embraced the new challenges with enthusiasm and curiosity.

Science

This term, we have been exploring the fascinating world of Rocks and Soils. The children investigated the properties of different rocks and learned how to compare and group them. We also discovered how fossils are formed — and many children brought in fossils from home to share with the class, which made the topic even more exciting!

History

In History, we have been learning all about trains and the Industrial Revolution, focusing on how the railways transformed people’s lives. The class particularly enjoyed using drama to recreate the famous Rainhill Trials of 1829 — a competition to find the best steam engine for the new Liverpool to Manchester railway. The winning engine, George Stephenson’s Rocket, became the model for future steam locomotives.

Lincolnshire Day

A major highlight this term was celebrating Lincolnshire Day at the Showground. It was wonderful to see so many local companies showcasing their work and achievements. The children learned about the Lincolnshire flag and discovered why people from Lincolnshire are proudly called ‘Yellow Bellies’.

Throughout the day, pupils took part in a range of hands-on activities — from engineering with Siemens Energy and healthy eating with the Co-op, to flower arranging with a local florist and sports with local clubs. Everyone had a fantastic time learning new skills and celebrating everything that makes Lincolnshire special.

       

 

 

 

 

PE and Wellbeing

In PE, the children have enjoyed learning Tag Rugby, showing great teamwork and enthusiasm.

We also supported World Mental Health Day by taking part in the ‘Young Minds’ #HelloYellow campaign. The classroom was a sea of yellow as we proudly wore something yellow to raise awareness and show support for mental health.
