Welcome to Year 3!
Our Year 3 team consists of, myself, Mrs. Everett and Mrs. Walton.
I joined St. Philip’s in January 2024 and I have been welcomed so warmly by the staff and parents and carers. Previously, I worked at St. Joseph’s in Pontefract and I was there for 31 years.
Mrs. Walton joined St. Philip’s in September 2024 and is a parent of 3 children at the school. She has been a school volunteer for a number of years and we are thrilled to have her on the team!
Please find below the information shared at the meet the parents meeting.
We have been busy settling into Year 3 these last few weeks and we have already experienced lots of things!
Here are a few pictures of our first 3 weeks!
Mapping Our World!
We began our investigations into magnets.
We have acted out some RE stories and met Father Polland to learn about our Parish family.
We have been looking at place value in maths and using our base 10 materials.
We have used our class text 'The Iron Man' to influence our charcoal art work.
We worked together to create Baptism posters that helped us to understand the meaning behind the symbols. We presented to our class.
We had such a good time at Magna! We experienced so much and learnt a lot too!
We have been creating posters about Mary in our new autumn 2 topic.
We began our topic of our local area through the eyes of the Victorians by working out a timeline of key events.

Mr. Keddie was brilliant at helping us make our boxes!
A happy time getting ready for Christmas.......parties and playing with Lego on the last day!
Welcome back to a new half-term. We have lots of new topics to learn about!

We loved our DT topic with Mr. Keddie! It tasted good too!
We finished this half term by leading the school in
worship. We talked about 'Listening!'
Welcome back to our Spring 2 term! We have hit the ground
running with our Stone Age topic and we are really enjoying
learning about Islam this week!
ISLAM - We investigated Ramadan and Aisha from year 4 came to talk to us about her experience of this. We also looked at Islamic patterns.
We LOVED World Book Day!
Year 3 had a great day at Ledston Countryside learning. We found out about trees and
habitats and even built dens!
In science, we have been learning all about plants and investigated how water can
travel through the roots and up the stem to the leaves and flower.
In our Lenten preparations, we have been making promises, making crowns of thorns
and raising money throughout school.
