We aim to create an inclusive and nurturing environment, where each child’s unique strengths and interests are valued, respected and supported throughout their learning journey at Merton Bank. Our vision for our classroom, is to foster a love for learning, curiosity and critical thinking skills. We prioritise the mental health and well-being of all pupils. We actively promote positive self-talk, resilience and a growth mindset. Children will be encouraged to embrace challenges, learn from mistakes and develop a positive attitude towards learning.

Autumn Term 2
Take a look at some of the exciting learning in Year 3 during Autumn Term 2023
Stone Age Pottery
This term, one of our key curriculum focuses was the Stone Age, which we explored in writing, history and art. We explored different artists and shared our likes and dislikes of their work before crafting our own Stone Age pot, truly immersing ourselves in the wonders of this ancient era.
Non-Chronological Reports
Year 3, have been hard a work researching and writing a non-chronological report on the Stone Age. They’ve identified key features, delved into detailed research and organised information into well-structured paragraphs with appropriate sub-headings. Finally, they created their very own non-chronological report showcasing their understanding of the Stone Age.
Saints Community Development Foundation
This term, Year 3 have been lucky enough to participate in PE lessons delivered by the Saints Community Development Foundation. The professional coaches have helped the children to develop their skills, teamwork and sportsmanship on the field.
