"The child grew and became strong in body, mind and spirit."

At St. Peter’s C.E. in Year 3 we embed the COURAGE CURRICULUM into our school ethos, and it is interwoven into all aspects of our school life.

COURAGE: We promote our Christian ethos in daily worships and RE lessons. We look at the historical importance of our local area.

ORACY: In lessons we have discussions and debates. We are able to express our own ideas and opinions.

UNDERSTANDING THE WORLD: We look at real life problems in maths lessons. We attended educational trips to the library to learn about our local area, a museum to develop our understanding of the Egyptians and Chester Grosvenor museum to learn about life during the Roman times. These trips consolidate our learning and give our children real life experiences.

READING: We are lucky to have a lovley, well stocked whole school librbaryr. Reading is a big part of our learning. Every Thursday, Year 3 can swap their books in the library.

ARTS: We have had opportunities to perform and act in music, PE, English and Art lessons.

GROWTH: All of us in year 3 have experienced the growth mindset learning pit. With perseverance and determination, we have managed to overcome our difficult challenges. Jigsaw lessons lessons and worships have helped us to grow.

ENQUIRY: We have carried out many enquiries in Year 3. We have completed science enquiries and investigations and made geographical enquiries.

This term we will be using the book ‘Stone Age Boy’ for our English lessons.
