Year 3 News

This week we have enjoyed learning about Ancient Egypt.  We have been acting out the different roles that existed in society and learnt that they were organised into a hierarchy.  We then have worked really hard to use our new knowledge to start our non-chronological reports for the museum in Egypt, ensuring that new we are using formal language.

This week we have received messages from a museum in Egypt requesting Year 3s help in helping them organise information for visitors to the museum.  We have been learning how to recognise formal and informal writing and have begun researching facts about Egypt.

In Forest School we learnt how to make kites and loved taking them outside to fly!

This week we had a DT day creating our castles that we designed.  The children weren't very hard to create nets, combine materials and add features to their castles.  They were all very proud of their end product.

We are really proud with how well the children have done this term and the progress that they have made.  We hope that they all have a well-deserved break over the holidays and look forward to seeing them in January!

We’ve had a great week in Year 3. The Orange Class assembly on Europe this Friday was a real highlight, with the children speaking confidently and sharing their learning with enthusiasm. In English, we continued reading Fantastic Mr F

Year 3 had an exciting day this week exploring different European countries! Amber Class learned all about Spain, while Orange Class studied Italy. The children explored traditional foods, famous landmarks and aspects of culture from each country. They also investigated different cities: Amber Class recreated a Spanish city inspired by Gaudí’s art, while Orange Class built their own Leaning Tower of Pisa.

The children have all had a brilliant week.  We begun the week with a DT day with a unit on cooking.  We peeled and chopped different vegetables before tasting them.  The children all tried new vegetables, including spinach, spring onions, cauliflower, cabbage and radishes.  We then looked at the nutritional value of them before designing our own vegetable tarts.  They all loved creating their tarts and tasting them!

Orange Class were also excited to go on their trip to Pizza Express.  They learnt how to knead dough and about the ingredients needed to make a pizza.  They loved having them for lunch later that day.  Thank you to the parents for supporting us on the trip!
