Welcome to Year 3 - we have an exciting and inspiring curriculum. We cannot wait to nurture your passion for learning through our fun filled topics.
Our main projects for the year answer the following questions:
Autumn |

What makes the Earth rock? Volcanoes and earthquakes. |
Summer |
How can I create a healthy sandwich to sell on Ripon Market? |
Learning in Year 3
A more detailed look our expectations for each year group can be found by exploring the subject pages under the curriculum tab.
To support our understanding of our topics we have planned exciting learning beyond the classroom events which will enrich our curriculum and give our children the opportunity to take part in learning experiences outside of the classroom. Our proposed events this year are:
- Forest Schools
- Murton Park - A day in the life of a Roman soldier
- Bewerley Park Outdoor Learning Centre - canoeing and treasure hunt
- Visit to a Hindu Temple with music workshop
- Yorkshire Sculpture Park with artist workshop
