Special home learning projects Once a week (on a Friday) one child will be chosen to complete our special home learning project – Meet the Master! If your child has been chosen to complete this project they will not need to complete the usual written home learning task for that week but will need to learn their spelling words and times tables.

‘Meet the Master’ display - In order for every child to feel valued and to improve their speaking and listening skills, there will be a display dedicated to them for a week. - They will need to make a poster telling the other children anything they are knowledgeable about (e.g. whales, Lego, dinosaurs, coding). -They can include photos or drawings.

Creative Curriculum In Year 3 we have developed an exciting programme of study following the new national curriculum. We passionately believe in following a creative approach to teaching. We have tried to link up our subjects in order to link learning and make it more meaningful. In order to bring learning to life we have also arranged some exciting, creative days to bring the topic to life.
