Year 3 have finished off their Stone Age topic by designing and creating their own prehistoric jewellery. Using Model Magic, they carefully moulded teeth, claws, bones, and shells,  just like early humans might have worn. Once dried, t

Our Year 3 children had an unforgettable time on Stone Age Day. They tried their hand at flint knapping and made some very impressive spearheads. We created striking cave paintings, and learned fascinating facts from our Stone Age visitor. It was a wonderfully immersive experience that brought history to life!

The whole school became year 3's playground on Friday evening as we gathered for the evening. It was an exclusive event; only year 3 children or  teaching team were allowed in! Lots of fun was had as we used the whole of the school grounds for orienteering, playing games and picnicking with the sandwiches we had made earlier in the day. It was a fabulous evening to celebrate the wonderful year we have had together. You're ready for year 4 now children!

Year 3 have been learning some important life skills this week. In our safe walking training, we have learnt how to find a safe place to cross the road as well as following the Stop, Think, Look, Listen message. In the classroom, we have been working on learning to tell the time on both analogue and digital clocks. This work has included understanding the difference between am and pm and also reading a clock with Roman numerals.

We have loved looking at the children's rainforest dioramas this week. Wonderful creative homework from everyone! We hope that the whole family enjoyed this extended homework and learnt a  little about the layers of the rainforest and the creatures that live there. In geography last week, we learnt about the indigenous people living in the Amazon rainforest and this week we will learn about deforestation and it's impact on the environment. We will study both sides of the argument and develop some debating skills.

Year 3 have had a fabulous half-term of learning which has included studying the River Nile. We are finishing the topic with a field trip to the River Thames at Mortlake. No pyramids or crocodiles but a chance for the children to use some of their new vocabulary and observe life on the UK's second longest river. Back at school, the children have produced some stunning abstract art work inspired by the work of Georgia O'Keefe.
