Year 3 Geographers

This week in  geography, we embarked on our new unit: ‘ Uk, Towns, Cities and Features.’ We used maps and atlases to identify physical geography features. We then created detailed maps for each county, incorporating both its human and physical features. 

Marvellous Magnets

Year 3 Class Assembly

This week in Year 3, we’ve been busy preparing for our class assembly. As the assembly unfolded, we eagerly shared our recent, fantastic trip experiences and proudly showcased the incredible things we’ve been learning in class.

Stone Age time travellers

Our school trip to Celtic Harmony was a journey back in time to the Stone Age period, where we immersed ourselves in the daily life of Stone Age people. Our adventure began with den making where we worked collaboratively and built a shelter with sticks and branches. We then delved into the ancient art of Stone Age fire making.

As the day progressed, we explored the Stone Age diet, which consisted of nettle and herb soup. It was a day filled with hands-on learning and unforgettable experiences.

Fun first week in Year 3!

This week in English we have been exploring the story ‘Here We Are’. In groups, we wrote descriptive phrases about the land, sea, and animals. We used the images from the book to inspire us to write similes and expanded noun phrases.

Computing:

In computing we started our programming unit, here are some photos of us getting stuck in.

Clay Workshop!

On Monday Year 3 went to the cathedral for an art workshop. The workshop was linked to our current topic in art. The children designed and decorated their very own clay tile. The clay tiles  were inspired by the architecture and art from inside the cathedral. We ended the day by having a picnic at Verulamium park. Here are some photographs from the workshop.

On Thursday we had a class celebration as the children made their First Holy Communion. Year 3 looked fantastic as they wore their best outfits to mark their First Holy Communion. We celebrated by sharing a prayer in the hall with Mrs Porter. We sang hymns and recited some special prayers. The children enjoyed a delicious spread which was generously provided by parents.
