--- title: "Highlights from Year 3" url: "https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2020-02-24-highlights-from-year-3" school: "The Palmer Academy" --- # Highlights from Year 3 ![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/news/IMG_2734.JPG) 24 February 2020 At the start of the Spring term, we studied the topic of 'Heroes and Villains'. We took a trip to the local fire station, where we learned about fire safety and how to become a fireman. We learned about their job role and had a chance to see what it was like to be a fireman. Our favourite part of the trip was seeing all the different tools that firemen use, as well as having the chance to shoot the fire hose. --- We learned about several other heroes including Alan Turing, Dr Thomas Barnardo, Florence Nightingale and many other people that have had an impact on British History. We concluded our topic with a trip to the Warner Brother’s Studio, where we learned about the making of one of the most popular 'hero and villain' series – Harry Potter. Overall, it was a very interesting and eventful term and we now move on to studying 'Gods and Mortals' along with some Greek History. ### Jan-Feb Year 3 [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/jan-feb-year-3/EIOU8742.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/jan-feb-year-3/EIOU8742.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/jan-feb-year-3/IMG_2734.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/jan-feb-year-3/IMG_2734.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/jan-feb-year-3/IMG_2773.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/jan-feb-year-3/IMG_2773.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/jan-feb-year-3/IMG_20200113_134511.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/jan-feb-year-3/IMG_20200113_134511.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/jan-feb-year-3/VSDM5750.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/jan-feb-year-3/VSDM5750.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/100x100c/news/festival_of_sport.jpg)](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2020-02-17-sports-highlights) Previous ### [Sports Highlights](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2020-02-17-sports-highlights) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/100x100c/news/Image-5.jpeg)](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2020-02-25-highlights-from-reception) Next ### [Highlights from Reception](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2020-02-25-highlights-from-reception) ### News & Events - [News](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news) - [Upcoming Events](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/events) - [Newsletters](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news-events/Newsletters) - [![Absence Reporting Link](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/partners/1(1)_(1).png)](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/absence-reporting) - [![Accelerated Reader](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/partners/2(1)_(1).png)](https://login.renaissance.com/12d2ca4f-6beb-4887-82ee-ddfbdb0b88d4?state=145e0c43-7ae1-46eb-a2d3-c9224036ffb3) ##### Location 70 Northumberland Avenue Reading Berkshire RG2 7PP ##### Contact Us 0118 9375481 ##### Stay Connected - [X](https://twitter.com/R2PalmerAcademy) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePalmerAcademy) © Copyright 2015–2026 The Palmer Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
