Stars of the week: Ella and Grace

 

This week, year 3 have been learning about the stone age. We have been researching the food people in the stone age might have eaten and designing a plate based on this research. We then used our research to write a non chronological report on the stone age during our English lessons so that we could share this knowledge. If we ever find ourselves to have fallen back in time to the stone age, like our main character from the stone age boy, at least we will know what to expect!

This week year 3 have been working hard to investigate the Stone age. They explored how Stone age people lived and compared it to the Bronze and Iron ages to see how houses changed through out time. In English, they continued this learning by writing fantastic setting descriptions based on the book ‘Stone Age Boy’. They thought about what smells they might encounter, like wood smoke and meat cooking. Well done for another great week year 3!

This week year 3 have been practicing their fielding and striking skills in PE. They displayed the importance of sportsmanship during our rounders games, supporting each pupil batting regardless of which team they were on. Every time we played year 3 learned from their mistakes and the fielding teams have improved their skills hugely. We can’t wait to see more friendly competition in the future!

This week, year 3 have been working hard writing their creative stories for the BBC 500 word story competition. We have created tales with a variety of heroes and villains, from swiss cheese to wizards. Year 3 staff were so impressed with the creativity and hard work they put into their stories and we have our fingers crossed for every entry! We also moved on to a new topic in math’s, looking at addition and subtraction. Year 3 have put all of their place value knowledge into practice when we tackled column addition and subtraction. Well done year 3!

This week, Year 3 got the opportunity to attend a virtual Geobus workshop on fossils. They learned all about how fossils are formed and how they are found. This was all useful knowledge for their activity where they got to explore different fossils in 3D using special glasses! We had the best time at the workshop and we are excited to take part in more of them.

Last Friday, Year 3 took a trip to the national gallery to see the work we have studied in art from Van Gogh up close. Along with sketching some incredible pictures inspired by the art, year 3 were incredibly polite and responsible in the gallery. Several members of the public told staff and parents on the trip how well behaved and sensible the class was! We are very proud of you Year 3!

Stars of the week: Annabella and Ibrahim

This week year 3 have been working on painting different patterns to show movement, inspired by Van Gogh’s ‘Starry Night’. They worked hard to make beautiful paintings of a bright, vibrant sky. Year 3 was focused and showed how responsible they are as every member of the class was willing to help others around them and make sure the classroom was clean and tidy at the end of the lesson. They also got the opportunity to showcase this responsible attitude on our cathedral visit where they showed how beautiful their singing voices are during hymns. Well done for such a great week year 3!

Class 3 have worked extremely hard on their acting skills this week. In English, they created hilarious play scripts based on our book; Oliver and the Seawigs. Year 3 mastered sarcasm in order to play the sarcastic seaweed from the book brilliantly and had the whole class and the teachers laughing. Well done Year 3!
