Welcome to Rowan - Year 3!

Autumn Term

Rowan Class have settled into Year 3 brilliantly. They’ve shown such enthusiasm for their learning and have adapted really well to the new routines and expectations. It has been a pleasure to see how confident and curious they are becoming already.

In English, the children have loved exploring Aesop’s fables, especially looking at the different morals hidden within each story. We’ve spent time focusing on The Lion and the Mouse, which has captured their imagination. The class have enjoyed acting out scenes, stepping into the roles of the characters, and discussing how the story might change if the characters made different choices. They’ve also been creating their own new endings, which has led to some wonderfully imaginative ideas.

We’ve been challenging ourselves in our writing by including fronted adverbials, expanded noun phrases, and adverbs. The children are beginning to experiment with these features to add detail and variety to their sentences, and it’s been fantastic to see their confidence as writers grow.
