Year 3 Team 😊

Week beginning 16th May 2022

We couldn’t believe it when we saw a Roman soldier in our school hall! 
 

We did some training to become a Roman soldier and learnt some Latin words. By learning these words we could turn left and right, standing with our feet together and then apart. We got into squads to help with our training. When we were being dismissed we learnt a salute as well.

All of Year 3 really enjoyed getting to know the Roman soldier and learning some new information. 
 

Enjoy looking through all of our photographs to see what we got up to!

We have also been learning the dance which we will be completing as a whole school called Dance From The Heart.

Week Beginning 3rd May 2022

Both Year 3 classes have now been to the local library. We really enjoyed walking to the library and were very lucky with the weather. Whilst at the library we had books read to us and learnt all about what the library can offer us (Lego and STREAM club). Lots of questions were asked and we got lots interesting answers. We were able to look round the library at what books they have. There was a quiz and we had to guess who the character was. Some of them were Paddington bear, the very hungry caterpillar, postman pat, the The Gruffalo, Mr Tickle, Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, Matilda, Willy Wonka and Harry Potter.

Week beginning 25th April 2022

We have recently been enjoying our PE lessons. We are learning lots of new skills to help us play dodgeball and wehave been using a one handed dodgeball throw and trying to throw it to a target. At first this was quite tricky, but eventually we were able to get a good aim and make sure our throws had some power. Year 3 are excited for the dodgeball game! 

Week begining 19th April

Throughout Year 3 we have had new carpets fitted. They look super smart.

When we came into school, our classrooms needed a little more organizing, so our teachers took all of Year three into the hall for our first Maths lesson of the term. It felt quite exciting that we were all learning together.

To start the week off, both Year 3 classes took part in the South Ribble Racket Festival. They learnt lots of skills of how to control the racket/ball and even got to play a short game at the end! It was a really fun, but a tricky game. Well done to the children that won. We then finished the day by having a whole school assembly all about Easter.

What a busy week we have had in Year 3! Earlier this week we went on a spring walk to see what we could find and used our senses to help us with this. It was then World Book Day on Thursday where we all dressed up and guessed who we all came as. Later in the morning, we were lucky enough to take part in a yoga session and try some of the poses. This was very calm and relaxing. To finish off the day, we went on zoom and listened to a story being told called Six Dots by Burnley Youth Theatre.
