Spring 2
We have set up a Curiosity Box in the classroom to inspire our Year 3 pupils to explore and ask questions about water and the world around them. The box ties into our class story, The Lady of the Lake, and our big question for this term: “How does water shape our world?”
Inside the box, children will find:
Thought-provoking questions to spark discussion and curiosity
An image of the water cycle to explore how water moves through the environment
An image of Cofiwch Dryweryn to connect with local history and rivers
A miniature lake scene with a lady and animals to encourage imaginative play and storytelling
A selection of books related to water, nature, and the story
The Curiosity Box gives children hands-on opportunities to observe, ask questions, and make connections between stories, science, and the world around them.
Trip to Morgans Hotel
We had an amazing trip to Morgans Hotel, where we enjoyed a fun-filled introduction to the world of work. The children got hands-on experience across different departments — from welcoming guests at reception to baking cookies in the kitchen and even mixing their own mocktail creations. They also explored the basics of marketing and, of course, couldn’t resist testing out the hotel beds with a few enthusiastic jumps. It was a brilliant day packed with learning, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

This term in Year 3, our learning is centred around the big question:
How does water shape our world?
We will begin our journey with the Welsh legend of The Lady of the Lake, using this traditional tale to spark curiosity about lakes, water and the importance of stories within our Welsh heritage. This links closely to Cynefin, helping children understand their identity, culture and connection to Wales.
From this starting point, we will explore water’s journey from local lakes and rainfall in Wales to the wider water cycle, weather patterns, climate around the world and natural disasters. The children will investigate how water shapes the land, influences where people live and why it can sometimes become powerful and dangerous.
In Literacy, we will develop descriptive language through poetry writing inspired by our Eisteddfod theme: Dreams, as well as learning how to write engaging newspaper reports, particularly linked to extreme weather events. We will continue to build reading comprehension, vocabulary and oracy skills through discussion and enquiry.
In Maths, we will be learning about fractions, developing our understanding of equal parts (including halves, quarters and thirds) and applying this knowledge in practical contexts. We will also continue to strengthen our reasoning and problem-solving skills, encouraging pupils to explain their thinking clearly and confidently.
This topic encourages curiosity, creativity and critical thinking, while helping children understand how water connects our local environment in Wales to the wider world.
