Last Friday, Year 3 travelled back in time for an incredible Iron Age Day! The children spent the whole day off timetable, fully immersing themselves in what life was like over two thousand years ago.
The day began with an exploration of fascinating Iron Age artefacts, giving pupils a hands-on insight into how people lived, worked, and created during this ancient period. They learned about the materials, tools, and everyday objects that helped shape life in Iron Age Britain.
Next, the children used their creativity to design their own shields and spear tips, taking inspiration from traditional Iron Age patterns, colours and symbols. Each design reflected their unique ideas and showed real artistic flair!
In the afternoon, everyone took part in thrilling warrior training. Armed with replica spears and swords, the children learned the skills, discipline, and teamwork needed to defend their tribe. It was a fantastic and energetic way to end the week! Take a look below at the photos from our exciting day!

Year 3 have been learning all about early humans and created their very own cave-inspired artwork. Using earthy colours, bold shapes and imaginative storytelling, the children explored how people long ago used pictures to share their lives and experiences. To see the real inspiration behind their work, have a look at the amazing Lascaux Cave.
See below for a sample of the fab artwork!

In the very first days of the new school year, it has been wonderful to see Year 3 working so well together. From group activities to class challenges, the children have already shown kindness, cooperation and brilliant problem-solving skills. It’s lovely to see such strong teamwork shining through so early in the term - a fantastic start to the year!

What a fantastic year we have lined up for you all. The staff have been busy in the classrooms over the summer and the rooms are all ready for your return on the 4th of September! We will meet on the bottom playground (MUGA) on Thursday at 8:45am ready to go into our new classroom together. At home-time, we will release onto the bottom playground (MUGA) at 3:20pm.
Our transition topic is called "Everybody's Welcome" and focuses on the book by Patricia Hegarty. This hopefully will give ample time for the children to understand what life is like at Merton Junior School before we get into our first larger project "From Stones to Steel".
We will upload some photographs as we get started so be sure to look back again in the coming weeks!
