We really can't wait to have a new beginning with you all.
Year 3 have worked really hard writing their non-fiction information texts about Stonehenge this week. Well done! We are especially proud of the following selection.
Y3's anti-bullying posters.
They look brilliant and we will display them to remind us of all that we learned in our anti-bullying week.
Design and Technology - Stone Age Dwellings
We have been learning to answer…
How did the dwellings change from the Stone Age to Iron Age?
We are now looking at as a learner…
As a designer I will create and evaluate a model of a dwelling from our prehistoric past.
Today we have been researching the following questions:
How will you make it stand?
What is the best way to attach objects?
Which material will represent what Stone Age materials?
After making our plan we got straight to work on our team dwellings!
The Finished Dwellings!

Our WOW Day in Year 3!
We had a fantastic day and fortunately the weather was very kind to us! In the morning, we were archaeologists and we unearthed a variety of bones which we sketched and described. We also learnt about cave paintings from around the world. In the afternoon, we pretended to live in the Stone Age and recreate our own cave drawings … under our desks! We finished our day by combining a bit of physical activity alongside team work to find out even more about cave paintings. Here are a few highlights!

Returned books will be stored for 3 days before being returned to the reading shelves.
Our Memories to treasure from
2019-2020
We all had so much fun creating our magnetic fish games today. All the children were really engaged and loved the process of making, playing and evaluating!
We have really enjoyed our Shakespeare week. The play we have focussed on was 'The Merchant of Venice' here is a few photos from our brilliant day of drama!
Do you like experimenting? Are you keen to find out how things work? Do you like carrying out investigations?
If so, you'll love our next topic...
SUPER SCIENCE!
Coming soon to Year 3
The topic for this Half Term is going to be 'What Makes Britain Great'. We are going to be learning about the 4 different countries of the UK, their traditions and famous landmarks. We will shortly be sending home an exciting homework project in which all the children will be given a city from the UK to research. We will then collect all of them in and create a year group book about cities in Great Britain.
What an awesome parent workshop we had this week. We created some great volcanoes and then made them erupt. Here are some pictures.
