Exciting week in year 3!

Another busy week in year 3!  We enjoyed visiting the new library. We were amazed by the selection of books and the cosy areas to sit and enjoy the wonderful books. In our class, we have two fantastic librarians who are very knowledgeable about the library.

In RE we celebrated other faiths, and this year we learnt about Islam. Our topic was Mosques we focused on; the functions of a mosque, the geometric designs inside a mosque and the rules for entering a mosque. There were six keen children who presented this information in assembly.

Year 3 Scientists

Year 3 have been conducting science experiments, testing the strengths of different magnets. The children tested the strength by seeing how many paperclips the magnet could hold. Here are some photos of what they got up to.

The First Drawing – English

This week in English, we have started our new book The First Drawing by Mordicai Gerstein. This book links to our history unit Prehistoric Britain. The children wrote wonderful diary entries. Today we worked on exclamatory and interrogative questions. Here are some examples of children’s work.

Stone Age Warriors

Year 3 went back in time to the Stone Age. We discovered what life was like during this time by taking part in some exciting activities such as; building dens, hunting for Stone Age food, flint knapping and many more activities.
