Year 3 Waxwork Museum advice for this Wednesday onwards

Dear Parents and Carers,

Hopefully by now, you have already discussed with your child which inspirational figure they are going to dress up as, for the Waxwork Museum day on Thursday 12th February, and shared this via the reply slip on the Waxwork information letter with your child’s class teacher. As of today, there are still several outstanding slips to come in to year 3, particularly in 3B and 3P.

Also, this work will form part of our curricular offer later this week and next week, during English. As teachers, we will have some information for each of your children to use in lessons, about their chosen person, but obviously, we cannot help them if they haven’t chosen who to focus on! In these instances, if we do not receive a reply from you, then we will be choosing with your child someone who they can easily dress up as, and research.

Finally, if you are able to, please source a large piece of card, ideally about 60cm to 100cm max in size, square or rectangular, which they can use to mount their written outcomes on for display on the day of the museum show. This can be stationary quality, or simply cardboard box quality – it’s your decision. (The examples below are rather large…they don’t have to be like this!)

  

As always, please contact your child’s class teacher if you have any questions about this event.

Thank you so much for your support,

The Year 3 Team

January in 3P

We have had such a busy start to 2026!! The children have all been working extremely hard in all areas of the curriculum. I’ve added a few photos into this post for you to have a look at.

In science this month we have been learning about the digestive system and teeth. We used mirrors to identify and name which teeth we had. Some of us have more than others at the moment. We learnt about incisors, pre molars, molars and canines. We have begun to compare our teeth to other animals. 

In our maths sessions we have been looking at multiplication and division and in particular multiplying and dividing by 10 and 100. 

We’ve also completed a dance unit on machines which we all got really stuck into.

The children also made their own papyrus paper in Monday’s art lesson with Mrs Ollerenshaw.

We’ve also mummified tomatoes! We checked on them yesterday and noted any differences from when they were first placed in the salt.

We’ve completed lots more amazing work, too much to mention.

Just a quick ask, I’m not seeing many homework books. The children have new homework handed to them every Friday.

Class 3B Shaduf Design & Technology day

Class 3B completed a brilliant day on Monday this week, designing and building an Egyptian Shaduf, as part of their D&T project this term. These are simple, hand-operated machines, used for lifting water from a source (well or river), to irrigate land or fill a higher basin.

Year 3 Egyptian Day tomorrow (Wednesday 14th January)

Dear Parents and Carers,

Just a reminder that tomorrow is Egyptian Day for Year 3. This exciting event will be in the school hall, with ‘The History Man’, Mr David Cadle, who has been doing this for many years now. We will be learning about Ancient Egyptian history and culture, as well as taking part in Ancient Egyptian Drawing, Writing, dressing up, Games and Arts & Crafts.

Children can come dressed like an Ancient Egyptian, with homemade or bought costumes, and have been reminded today about this, and in the week preceding this one. For ideas, please google ‘Homemade Ancient Egyptian costumes’ or something similar.

Finally, as there is still a small, but significant number of children whose parents are yet to sign up, please ensure that you check you have seen the information about the day on ParentPay and sign to give permission for your child to take part in the day.

Thank you for your continued support,

The Year 3 Team
