Year 3 are excited to share with you some of the wonderful learning they have been doing this term. Click on the posts below to find out more...
Year 3 have started their first science topic of key stage two; rocks and soils. They have been studying different rocks and can already describe the 3 different types of rocks; sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic.
Thank you for all your hard work this year, we wish you a happy summer and good luck next year!
Year 3 have been busy taste-testing, designing, making and evaluating healthy sandwiches. They were thoughtful when scoring taste, texture, smell and presentation of bread and salad items. Their plans included exploded diagrams of bread and sandwich contents alongside thoughts on how to be innovative! They had tremendous fun putting the sandwiches together on Thursday and enjoying a picnic together in the playground.
We were whisked away to The Five Realms while we listened to 'Podkin One-Ear' in the beautiful story tent. We have found out why Podkin only has one-ear and are on the edge of our seats to know if he and his sisters will escape from the terrible Gorm.
We are so proud of the Year 3 children for putting on such a fantastic performance!
Playing Fox Paw!
Do you know an acute angle from an obtuse angle?

A fun packed day filled with wonderful learning all about Ancient Egyptian times.
Year 3 have had a great week this week. Have a look at some of the things we've been getting up to...
Year 3 have been super scientists this week while investigating the elements plants need to grow healthily. We are still observing plants each week which are missing one of the elements a plant needs to survive. We have also started a celery experiment to observe what happens when food colouring is put into the celery's water.
Here is a 'before' and 'after' photo:
In English, we have been continuing our adventure story 'Podkin One-Ear' and have written some fantastic setting descriptions. We have also been looking ancient Egyptian texts while working in our reciprocal reading groups. Today we read about the Rosetta Stone.
In maths, we have started our new topic of 'time'. So far we have looked at months and years and we have just started telling the time in 5 minute and 1 minute intervals.
In design and technology we have been creating shell structures 'packaging' to contain a sandwich - we have had a lot of fun and been very resilient when creating our 3D nets!

Year 3 have been working really hard on there travelling in gymnastics and were able to try out their skills on the apparatus this week! The children have also made some brilliant shadow puppet theatres while learning all about light and shadow in this term's science topic. We were even able to share our theatres with children in our Reception classes too!
