Year 3 Newsletter

The yeargroup is buzzing with excitement as we have officially started learning about our Y3 resi! The focus on our PSHE/Wellbeing lessons will be thinking about any worries or concerns and how we can support and care for each other.

A note from the Principal

This week, the Primary School has very much enjoyed our annual Science Week. Having spent the last 3 years working on Atomic Theory, we are now turning our attentions to marine biology and conservation. It has been fantastic to welcome Piers Baillie from Global Reef and to understand more about their incredible work in Koh Tao. The students have learnt so much and cannot wait to get started on their projects, including coral restoration!

Have a great weekend. Don’t forget that on Monday and Tuesday, school will be closed.

The whole Year 3 team would like to wish our families a Happy Lunar New Year 2026! Happy Year of the Horse.

A note from the Principal

This week, our focus across the Primary School has been on what it means to be Safe, Curious and Kind online. Through a range of age-appropriate activities, students explored how these values apply in digital spaces, helping them to build awareness, make thoughtful choices and develop their understanding of digital citizenship.

This week has been waste less week at school. We have been focussing on the sustainable goal of life below water. The children have been very engagaed in how to protect our oceans and waterways.

A note from the Principal

At the heart of our Primary School is a commitment to fostering belonging, with relationships built on respect, care, trust, empathy and kindness. We hope this is something you experience when you are on campus and in your interactions with our community.

More adventures at sea this week in Y3!

A note from the Principal

This week, I have spent a great deal of time in classrooms and around our campus. From a Year 5 learning walk where I saw some excellent Mathematics learning in action, to observations of some of our new staff, a lovely visit to Tiny Tigers and time in the soft play area, learning about pirates with Year 2, and finishing with a wonderful campus walk alongside another Year 2 class.

This week we have started our adventures on the Endurance. Lots of Drama action for our students.

A note from the Principal

Last Saturday, we were delighted to host a “Play in a Day” for approximately 40 of our students. Led by Divergent Theatre, the children took part in drama workshops throughout the day, culminating in a performance for parents at the end. Opportunities like this reflect the value we place on drama as a powerful way for students to build confidence, collaborate with others, and express themselves creatively. Meanwhile, in Year 6, planning is well underway for their end-of-year production. I am not sure I am able to share what it is just yet, so mum is the word. But we are certainly in for a treat!

Have a great weekend.
