More World Book Day Fun!

Year 3

Year 3 had a wonderfully inspiring World Book Day as they spent time learning about their chosen inspirational figure — Sir David Attenborough. Through engaging videos and a whole‑class reading session, the children explored his life, his passion for the natural world, and the many ways he has encouraged people across the globe to care for our planet.

Motivated by all they had learned, the children wrote heartfelt letters to Sir David himself. Their teachers will be posting these soon — and we are all hopeful for a reply!

Sir David even joined us in maths (in spirit, at least!). The children solved a series of column‑addition challenges, each one designed to help his beloved animals. This cross‑curricular twist brought plenty of enthusiasm — and some excellent mathematical thinking.

To finish the day, pupils researched facts about an animal of their choice before creating beautiful silhouette‑style artwork inspired by their findings. This child‑led project combined creativity with scientific curiosity, resulting in striking displays that celebrate both art and nature.

We ended our learning with one of Sir David Attenborough’s powerful reminders about why this work matters:

“No one will protect what they don’t care about, and no one will care about what they have never experienced.”

World Book Day was a true celebration of reading, curiosity, and the natural world — and Year 3 certainly embodied all three!
