5. ‘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.

6. 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.
