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 been investigating friction in our science lessons this week. We set up an investigation comparing how far a toy car would travel on different surfaces then recorded our results in a table. Ask your child which surface allowed the car to travel the furthest and why.
Year 3 have been discussing fireworks this week but not because of Bonfire Night or Diwali. We have started reading our new class book; The Firework Maker's Daughter by Philip Pullman.
We have had 2 days of prehistory active learning this week; first we had a wonderful visit from a person from the Stone Age and an archaeologist on Wednesday then today we have spent the whole day outside completing Stone Age inspired activities as part of our forest school.
Year 3 have been making music based on Mussorgsky's A Night on Bear Mountain. They have used percussion instruments to represent the footsteps and spells of the witches in famous tone poem.
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!
