Hello everyone, another exciting week has come to an end. Children in year 3, along with their families, have been working hard, learning a lot of new things. 

Have a look at some of the exciting things that happened in year three's google classroom this week!

Enjoy...

In our history topic this week we learned all about ancient Egyptian Pharaohs and explored all the different symbols they used to decorate their sarcophagus!

One of our tasks was to design a sarcophagus including some ancient Egyptian symbols to decorate them. Have a look...

In art this term, we are exploring pointillism, a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots of colour are applied in patterns to form an image. This week, we tried to recreate one of  Seurat's paintings. We had a lot of fun, eventhough it was a rather hard technique!

This week, in our RE lesson, we looked at different Lenten customs and religious practices that people engage in, in order to change and become more like Jesus. We also created our own Lenten bracelets, made out of 40 beads.

World Book day PE! We had great fun!

We created our reading rivers and realised that we actually read a lot more than we think! Not only books but comics, ads, labels our cereal box, whilst eating, and a lot more!!!

On Wednesday, we had an amazing science lesson about rocks, delivered perfectly by Mr Orife,a proficient geologist.

The children thoroughly enjoyed all the hands on experiments...

We absolutely love our flute lessons!

Our music teacher is very impressed with our developing sense rhythm.

On Thursday 21st November 2019 year 3 went to Butser Ancient farm.

What an amazing experience it was not only for the children, but for the teachers and all the amazing parents and grandparents aswell!

As soon as we arrived, we had a walk around the ancient farm. Later on, our guide let us have our snack inside an iron age house where she explained what we were going to do all through the day. After we finished our snack, had the opportunity to take part to a real archaeological excavation and date our findings. Before lunch, we learned how to carve chaulk using a sharp flint stone and colour it using leaves. After that, we had a lovely pic nic outside, it was really cold but we loved it! Last but deffinetelly not least, we learnt how to make lovely rings and bracelets using copper wire! 

On Friday, we were a little bit sad as we had to say goodbye to a loved member of our family, Alpha, who is mooving to a new school.

We all wished him good luck to his new adventure and we had a goodbye party.

Today we learned that a lot of things that we usually put in the bin (recycle or general waste) can be reused. So, we used bottles and vegetable trays to make our own bespoke flower pots! Later in the morning we used scrap paper to recycle it and make our own paper! Finaly, we filled our bespoke flower pots with soil, ready to plant!

Welcome back, I hope you all had a restful halfterm.

We had fun painting our killer animals from last term!

We had an amazing lesson in French where we practice everything we have learned so far!

Mrs Gould had planned an amazing lesson in PE, where we applied everything we had learned so far in Netball.

Last, but definetelly not least, the children thoroughly enjoyed your visit this Friday, where they had the opportunity to show you everything that they've achieved.

Thank you for coming we enjoyed so much sculpting our killer characters with you!
