Art

In art, we have been exploring the fascinating world of prehistoric art. In our first lesson, we experimented with sketching, focusing on the shapes and sizes of different parts of a robin. Then, we used charcoal to add intricate details to our robin sketches. The children thoroughly enjoyed bringing their prehistoric-inspired creations to life!

History

In history, we delved into the world of Anglo-Saxon artefacts. Acting as archaeologists, we excavated various artefacts and engaged in lively discussions about their origins, materials, and potential uses. ️‍ The children loved this hands-on approach to learning, bringing history to life through discovery and exploration!

English

In English, we’ve been using secret code marking to improve our writing. Our teacher reviewed our books and gave each of us a coloured dot, which served as a secret code. We had to collaborate with classmates who had the same coloured dot to figure out what needed to be edited in our writing. It was a fun and interactive way to enhance our editing skills! ️‍

Maths

In maths, we have been learning all about money. We’ve been figuring out the value of different notes and coins, and practising adding and subtracting various amounts.  The children used money resources to help them understand and solve problems, making the learning experience both practical and fun!

Computing

In Computing, we have been experimenting with Google Docs to create our own front covers. ️ We learned how to change the size, font, and colour of our text, and added pictures and facts to make our covers stand out.  The children enjoyed getting creative with their designs while learning valuable digital skills!

Design and Technology

In DT, we have been exploring foods from around the world. We discussed different seasons and how foods are imported to the UK. Using an atlas, we had to figure out where various foods come from. ️ The children enjoyed this geographical adventure, learning about global food sources and how they make their way to our tables! ️

Story Museum trip

This term, Year 3 had a fantastic trip to the Story Museum. We explored the Whispering Woods, where we listened to stories from around the world and created our own stories using puppets. We even had a Narnia-themed tour around Oxford! The children had an amazing time immersing themselves in the magic of storytelling and adventure.

Science

In science, we have been learning all about the ideal conditions for plants to grow. We set up an experiment in groups, with each group changing one factor for their plant, such as no sunlight or no water. We recorded our predictions and observed how the plants changed over a few weeks. It was exciting to see the results and understand the importance of different conditions for plant growth!

English – Posting our letters

In English, we wrote letters to someone who inspires us. After putting our thoughts and feelings on paper, we took a walk to our local post box to mail our letters.  The children enjoyed the experience of writing heartfelt messages and sending them out into the world!
