Year 3 – Rowan & Elm
Welcome to Y3’s year group page!
We are very excited to give you a window into what we are doing in Year 3. Here we will update you with successes, amazing examples of work and creative excellence. We are passionate about promoting the arts throughout our curriculum and use drama, music and art to enhance learning. At Parkdale, we are also committed to Active Learning. Children are encouraged to be physically active as part of, and between, their learning sessions.
We will post updates, useful information and any Year 3 communications on these pages.
We hope you enjoy your stroll through the year 3 part of the website and find everything you are looking for. We know we are going to have a fabulous year.
