Art - pointillism
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!
Lenten Customs
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.

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.
11/11/2019 Environmental day
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!

Dear parents/carers,
All children in Year 3 have been working so hard over the past few weeks. They've managed to settle in well and get used to working with different teachers and a different routine, brilliantly!
As you probably know, last Thursday we filled in our marble jar and our reward was to bake biscuits! As you can imagine, we got really messy and had amazing time having fun as a class!
