Year Three
Hello and welcome to Year 3
Summer 2025
Wow – what an amazing summer term it has been in Year 3! We can’t believe how much we’ve done and how much we’ve learned. It’s been our best term yet!
One of our favourite things this term was writing a non-chronological report all about Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry! We imagined we were magical students and created a school prospectus to tell new witches and wizards all about Hogwarts. We loved describing the enchanted ceiling in the Great Hall and the exciting lessons like Potions and Defence Against the Dark Arts. We ensured we included all the features of a non chronological report such as an introductory paragraph, subheadings, clear paragraphs and third person narrative. We beautifully illustrated our work too and it made us wish we could go there for real!
Another highlight was our incredible class visit to the Roald Dahl Museum. We learned so much about his life and where he got his ideas from. The best part was walking to Roald Dahl’s final resting place, where we quietly laid a beautiful handmade card and flowers. It felt really special to say thank you to someone who has brought so much joy through his books.

Speaking of Roald Dahl books, we read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and it was so enjoyable! We invented and designed our own magical sweets and their packaging, and wrote detailed character descriptions.
In Geography, we learned all about earthquakes—what causes them and what happens when they strike. We even designed and tested our own buildings to see if they could survive an earthquake. It was tricky at first, but so exciting when our structures stayed standing! We discovered that using triangles in our designs strengthened our structures and pyramid shapes helped the structure to withstand tremors.

In maths, we’ve been learning how to tell the time, which is really useful. Now we can read both digital and analogue clocks and we’ve been practising by helping our families know when it’s time to go out or when dinner is ready. Most importantly, we no longer need to ask our teacher how long it is until lunch!
This term has been full of fun, friendship, and learning. We can’t wait to see what awaits in Year 4!
