Year 3

We looked so patriotic on Friday, wearing red, white and blue. We had a day of fun and celebrations in honour of our new king. Celebrating the Coronation in style, having ice cream with King Charles III. This was followed with bouncy castle time, a picnic lunch, live music, cricket, making crowns…

Year 3 had a lovely sunny walk to the library to get a book to read over the Easter holiday. We listened to our class story: Operation Gadgetman by Malorie Blackman. We each chose our own book to take home over the Easter holidays. 
 

Year 3 have been practicing their marking, throwing and shooting skills, whilst playing in 4 teams, with Dan. They are becoming great netballers!
 

Year 3 Scientists had a great time investigating “How do shadows Shante as the light source gets closer and further away? “ 

Using a torch and an apple they discovered that the closer the light source, the bigger the shadow. They then changed their independent variables to learn what happened…

Year 3 enjoyed creating their own Periscopes, thanks to Mrs Williams for our super templates. We have been learning about light, how it travels, reflects and bends. We discovered why and how periscopes work then we used them to spy on each other.

We learnt lots about Earth and Space in the Wonderdome. It was great fun. This made a great introduction to Science Week that is coming soon.

Year 3 had a great time on World Book day: Reading about spies in our class text, Operation Gadgetman, we considered what spies might need in their spy kit. We created wonderful periscopes, thanks to Mrs Williams for providing us with some templates, we had no need to use scissors to cut tough…

Year 3 were learning all about the joy and danger of being online. They considered how wonderful the internet is to help us connect with the with other communities. We know who to speak to if we ever feel afraid of something that we find on the internet. We understand how to keep ourselves safe…

Four children in Year 3 received awards for showing respect, teamwork, self-belief and discipline. Well done children. You showed these skills in our football skills lesson today.

Year 3 took part in a TTROCKS Challenge. How many correct answers can they get in one hour? This was a Countrywide Challenge, we did really well.

We have been learning about our class Saint, St.Mary. We learnt about her Feast days too. It is her special Feast, Our Lady of Lourdes on 11th February. We learnt how to say her very special prayer, the Hail Mary.

We had a great end to our History topic, impressing Ro with our knowledge about the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages. We enjoyed being a human timeline, making axes, engraving copper, hunter-gathering and fire starting like a nomad with flint knapping.
