Year 3 had a lovely day immersing themselves in their history topic, The River Thames.

 We are having fun discussing the properties and sorting 3D shapes in Year 3 today!

Year 3 had a great time in outdoor maths this week - learning about different types of measurements, including capacity outside the classroom! 

In Year 3, we embedded our knowledge of direction and angles this week, combining both with a practical lesson of moving each other around the playground using only our Mathematical language.

In Maths this week, Year 3 have been working hard on embedding their place value knowledge, rounding and counting in 10s, 50s and 100s. We even had time to have a fun practical lesson!

This week we planted some beans for Science. We will keep a diary to watch how our plants grow, and see which environment is best for them - in the light or in the dark! 

Last week 3NW had a great time creating posters about soil formation in science. They also presented their posters to each other and produced some fantastic discussion around the topic.

This week, we have been decorating pictures of Hindu gods using a range of mediums to go on our RE display! 

This week, 3NW have had lots of fun for World Book Day. we took part in an 'Extreme Reading' Challenge and had a go at reading our favourite book from strange places around our home. 

Some children also created an entry for the 'Illustrate your favourite book character' competition and they are all amazing. We certainly have some fantastic artists in year three!

Year 3 have worked extremely hard this week. We have created 'Wanted' posters in the hope to find the ghastly dragon that was spotted outside our school on Monday! 

In Geography, we then learnt all about the Earth's structure and the children came up with some amazing ways to demonstrate this! 

For Science this week, 3NW spent their afternoon creating posters or leaflets to demonstrate everything that they have learned about rocks, fossils and soils this half term! By the looks of what they have produced, they have all learnt so much! 

Year 3 rounded off their many weeks of learning all about the Stone Age by putting everything they had used into a non-chronological report. They compared different areas of life between the Stone Age and Modern Britain. We had some amazing writing!

We have also enjoyed completing a number of activities this week to help us focus on our mental health, which everyone has really enjoyed! 

This week, Year 3 have produced some amazing work across all subjects! We have had some extremely descriptive English writing, really impressive scientific diagrams explaining the process of fossilisation and some very imaginative maths games designed and created!

The children were not the only ones who returned to the classroom this week! Our cheeky elf, Buddy, has been up to lots of mischief!

This week, 3NW have continued working from home and I have seen some fantastic work handed in by the children in our class. We have written a persuasive letter in English, been doing lots of measuring in Maths, learnt about different mountains in Africa and found out about the Muslim prayer ritual - Rakah.

3NW enjoyed exploring the force of magnets this week. We went on a hunt around the classroom to find out whether our predictions about which materials would be magnetic were correct or not. 

We continued practising our sewing this week for DT. So far we have had a try at running stitch and back stitch  in preparation to create our own pencil cases this half term. 

Year 3 cooking and tasting teriyaki chicken! Yum!
