We have been very excited to start our new topic this half term on Ancient Egypt. We have been looking at the jobs that existed. The children then played charades where they acted out different jobs and the class had to work out which one it was.
What a busy final week of the term! Year 3 have worked really hard this term and we have all been so proud of their focus! On Wednesday we all got to enjoy our lunch in the school hall where we sat in tables of mixed year groups. It was so lovely to see the children talking with each other and making new friends in different year groups.
Year 3 were very excited to see the donkeys on Friday and learn about them! We have started to research different facts about the countries in Europe and have enjoyed learning new facts ready to present in our travel brochures next week. We were also very lucky to watch the Year 2 children perform their Nativity show!
Year 3 have enjoyed exploring with magnets this week and starting to learn about magnetic forces! We have continued learning about Fantastic Mr Fox and are nearly ready to complete our independent writing.
This week in Year 3 children have worked hard to continue their learning on Spain, Sweden and Italy. In Maths, they have seen how diagrams and drawings can help to explain and support their times table work.
This week in Year 3 we have all been working really hard to show off our learning so far! We have recapped our Maths knowledge and have practised our reading skills through our booklet week. In Science, we looked at Friction and began to see how it impacts the speed of a car - a fun practical experiment!
Year 3 have started their new book of Fantastic Mr Fox this week and are excited to read more. In Maths we have started looking at equal groups and this will keep building to support children with their times tables learning; by the end of Year 3 all children should know their 2, 5, 10, 3, 4 and 8 times tables.
This week we have enjoyed welcoming everyone back after the half term break. We enjoyed our 'Around the World' themed days on Friday and were excited to continue with our Ukulele lessons this week!
Year 3 have had a brilliant last week of the half term. As well as learning about Benjamin Zephaniah we have also enjoyed learning about the Sikh festival of Vaisakhi and how it shares similarities with the Christian festival of Harvest. We even performed some dancing in assembly to show how this is celebrated. Our week ended with Stone Age Day where we explored what life was like during the Stone Age.
Year 3 have enjoyed our week looking at the National Gallery's take on picture, 'A courtyard in a house in Delft'. We have enjoyed making clay gargoyles and talking about what we can see. In Maths, we have carried on to develop our understanding of column subtraction.
Year 3 have enjoyed our learning this week! We have continued our work on Cave Baby and are excited to show off when we do our star write next week. We are excited to be carrying on with our Ukulele lessons as we learn more chords and new songs.
This week we have loved continuing our history topic about the Stone Age. We looked at Stonehenge and considered how it might have been built and why. We then had a go at using biscuits to create our own versions in groups - it was a very tasty history lesson!
