During Autumn term, our Year 3 pupils journeyed back thousands of years to the Stone Age during an exciting in-school history workshop! Through hands-on activities and immersive storytelling, they explored how early humans lived, hunted, and gathered food. They also discovered the tools they used and the incredible cave art they created.

The workshop brought the Stone Age to life, helping the children understand how people adapted to their environment and developed new skills to survive. It was a fantastic way to deepen their historical knowledge and spark their curiosity about the past.

Well done to Year 3 for their enthusiasm and brilliant participation! We loved seeing them inspired by this fascinating period in history.

This autumn term, our Year 3 pupils have been embracing the great outdoors with Forest School sessions! Surrounded by the vibrant colours of falling leaves, they’ve been exploring nature, building dens, and learning about the changing seasons. They’ve also been learning to use tools safely and responsibly, including whittling sticks and crafting using natural materials.

One of the highlights has been excavating the ground in search of hidden treasures! Pupils have been carefully digging and uncovering fascinating natural objects, from unusual stones to tiny fossils, sparking their curiosity about the ancient world. They’ve been learning how fossils are formed, what they tell us about prehistoric life, and how early humans might have used natural materials in their everyday lives.

Another favourite activity has been extracting natural pigments from leaves and berries to create their own paints, just like early humans did! Through hands-on activities like this, they’ve developed their curiosity, creativity, and practical skills, all while working together and building resilience.

Well done to Year 3 for their adventurous spirit and love for learning outdoors. We are so proud of their growing confidence and enthusiasm for nature. We can’t wait to see what discoveries the next term will bring!

This spring term, our Year 3 pupils celebrated National Storytelling Week with a magical journey into the world of stories and imagination! As part of the celebrations, they enjoyed a whole school visit to our local library in Edgware, where they explored a treasure trove of books and listened to captivating tales told by the librarians.

Inspired by their visit, the children returned to school and crafted their own stories inspired by The Enchanted Wood by Enid Blyton. Using their creativity and imagination, they brought to life magical characters and adventures set in mysterious forests and faraway lands.

Year 3 and Year 4 pupils shared their writing with each other. We are so proud of Year 3 for their enthusiasm and storytelling talent! It was wonderful to see them inspired by the power of books and stories. Well done to all our young authors!

At KAPSH, we believe in nurturing curiosity, understanding, and respect for all cultures and beliefs. During our recent Pupil Leadership Day, Year 3 pupils embarked on a fascinating exploration of Buddhism as part of our focus on World Faiths.

Pupils engaged in a range of interactive activities to deepen their understanding of Buddhist teachings, traditions, and values. A highlight of the day was the opportunity to participate in a hot-seating session with a teacher who practises the faith. This gave pupils a unique chance to ask thoughtful questions and gain personal insights into the faith.

Through this enriching experience, our young leaders strengthened their skills in critical thinking, empathy, and respectful communication — values that are at the heart of our school community.

As part of their science learning, our Year 3 pupils took part in a local area walk to discover the incredible variety of trees and plants growing in our community. This immersive experience allowed them to observe the natural world up close and apply their classroom knowledge in a real-life context.

During the walk, pupils identified different types of trees and flowering plants, explored how pollination happens in nature, and observed pollinators like bees and butterflies at work. They also learnt about the fascinating ways seeds travel—from being carried by the wind to hitching a ride on passing animals.

Through thoughtful discussion and first-hand exploration, pupils developed a deeper understanding of how plants grow, reproduce, and adapt to their environment. The walk was a joyful celebration of science in action, sparking curiosity and wonder in the world around them.
