Year 3 - St Martin's

St Martin's

Spring 2026

In Year 3, we have been learning how to write our own explanation folktales!

We explored different folktales, including ‘Thunder and Lightning’ and ‘Why the Sun and the Moon Live in the Sky’. These stories are special because they explain why something in nature happens. We had fun discussing the different natural phenomena in these tales and how they were explained.

As a class, we worked together to create our very own explanation folktale: ‘Why the Stars shine in the Sky’. It was exciting to come up with ideas, characters, and a creative explanation for this natural wonder.
