Year 3

Welcome back!

We have had a fantastic first week back! In English we started our new book which is cautionary tales by Hilaire Belloc. We enjoyed reading the poem Jim, we discussed the consequences faced by Jim in the poem. Then we recited the poem in small groups.

In maths we have been learning about angles here are some photos of us creating a right angle, obtuse and an acute angle using metre sticks.

On Wednesday we visited the art exhibition. We were fascinated by all the different art created by the school!

Exciting week in Year 3!

History:

In history we were learning about the Ancient Egyptians. In our last lesson we wrote instructions on how to create a mummy. We then used the instructions to help us recreate the process. We had a lot of fun role playing the steps.

Artweek:

We celebrated artweek this week. Our theme was abstract art. We started off by planning our design then we painted our work in bright colours. Here are some photos of the process.

Science Investigation

This week we have conducted our science experiment which was to investigate the changes in the shadow throughout the day. We drew around our shadow at different points of the day. After that we wrote about our findings.

Maths

In Maths we have been working on equivalent fractions. Here are some photos of our work.

In our RE lesson we were learning about Judaism, we looked at the importance of the synagogue. We explored the Holy text and we tried on some Kippahs.

Year 3 Persuasive writers!

We have been working on our persuasive writing skills, and after we finished reading the book ‘How to live forever’, we decided to write persuasive letters to the main character convincing him to not read the book. Here are some photos of our writing.

Coronation Celebration

We have enjoyed celebrating the King’s coronation. Here are some photos of what we got up to.

Science Week!

For science week, we investigated how we can increase our heart rate. The topic links to our science topic animals including humans. We explored different ways we could stay fit and increase our heart rate. Each group was given a different exercise to do for one minute after the exercise we measured our pulse. Here are some photos of our investigation.

Year 3 Class Assembly!

This week we had our class assembly on Lent. We retold the story of Jesus in the wilderness, and we also spoke about what Lent meant to us. Here are some photos of our fantastic assembly.

Year 3

We took part in an exciting workshop led by the Electric Umbrella. The Electric Umbrella is run by learning disabled people. We were amazed by the brilliant musicians. The key message we learnt from this was there is ‘no such thing as normal’.

Number day
We celebrated number day by dressing up and representing numbers. We completed a range of number activities throughout the day. Here are some photos of what we got up to.

Year 3 coders

This week in year 3 we have enjoyed coding in computing. We experimented with different backgrounds, actions and instructions for the sprite. Here are some photos of what we created.

Year 3

Another busy week in year 3! From investigating the permeability in science to division in maths, to writing reports in English we’ve covered it all it seems in year 3.

We started off with dividing 2-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers without renaming using the part whole model. Then we used diens and the part whole model to help us divide a 2-digit number by 1-digit number with renaming.

In English we are looking at the text The Pied Piper of Hamelin by Michael Morpurgo. We are enjoying this story. In our writing we have focused on using conjunctions and paragraphing. We researched rat facts for our non- chronological report.

In science we had a visitor talk to us about food waste. We shocked by the statistics! We created posters and discussed ways we can reduce our food waste.
