Year 3 Blog
Friday 9th May
We have had a lovely few weeks back after the Easter break and a fantastic start to the Summer Term. Since being back we have created wonderful pieces of Art based on the work of Kandinsky. We have been looking at length and perimeter in Maths and have developed our skills of measuring accurately using a ruler. In English, we have been doing some research about Sir Isaac Newton ready to write our own biographies about him. This also links nicely to our new Science topic of forces. In Geography we our learning about the UK, looking at all the different countries and capital cities and developing our map skills as well. We have celebrated some special events such as VE day and St George's day too.
Thursday 3rd April.
It has been an excellent and very busy term in Year 3. We have had numerous new and thrilling experiences and shared many exciting moments.
Our school trip to the World Museum in Liverpool included an amazing mummification show, featuring some rather bossy priests and temple slaves who helped to mummify Bob and Bill, the wooden mummies.
During the Scoot Safe programme with Manda from SRBC, we enjoyed weaving, bobbing, and racing along on our scooters!
Additionally, we created some fantastic projects for Creative Arts Week, including mosaics and chicken wire fish. We also participated in a Bhangra dance class with Dee.
Please enjoy looking through the collection of photos. Thank you for your support, as always!

It has been a lovely week in Year 3! Yesterday we celebrated World Book day by writing our own creative stories in class. All the outfits looked wonderful too!
In Science, we have carried out an investigation to look at how air affects plant growth and have been making careful observations all week.
In English, we have written a character description about Mr Twit, from one of our class novels 'The Twit's. The children have come up with some disgutingly horrible descriptions of him.
In Maths, we have introduced the grid method to help solve multiplication questions. This is quite tricky, so will be spending some time mastering this.
World Book Day!
Friday 14th Feb!
We have had a great couple of weeks in Year 3.
We participated in a workshop about the Hindu faith, where we learned about various Hindu festivals, such as Diwali, the festival of lights. We also completed diary entries from the perspective of an Egyptian slave who becomes royalty. Additionally, we worked on tasks for Safer Internet Day and created posters to help us avoid being SCAMMED.
Finally, we finished the week and half-term on Valentine’s Day sharing our homework.
We hope you have a well-rested and enjoyable half-term, and we will see you soon!

Another busy week in Year 3. We had an excellent day on Thursday as it was national Christmas Jumper day with a special lunch too! The children have started working on our Art project, designing and creating a Christmas decoration, Mrs Ball and Mrs Dixon have been working extra-hard untangling balls of sewing thread (and children).
We finished our Mary Anning English topic with a biography star write.
We're looking forward to an excellent final week of 2024 and enjoying all that comes with it!
Friday 22nd November
We have had a productive week in year 3. We have started our new text in English, Stone Girl Bone Girl, which is all story all about Mary Anning's life. We have also started to learn the formal methods of addition and subtraction, which we will be continuing to develop over the next few weeks. Here is the video of the children singing A Picture of Autumn from our poetry performance assembly. We hope you enjoy.

Thank you for supporting our children during our poetry performance assembly. Regrettably, the software we used for our first song failed us but I'm sure you'll agree the children coped exceptionally! We will record this when we have chance an post it to the blog later in the week!
Thank you again!

We have had a busy week reflecting and celebrating a number of occasions. Monday was Remembrance day, so we have created poppy field artwork in the style of Monet as a mark of remembrance and respect. Tuesday was Odd Sock Day to celebrate antibullying week. Wednesday was Bupa Coding day, where we all developed our understanding of programming and coding by giving instructions to a virtual robot. Finally we celebrated Children in Need on Friday . It was lovely to see the children wearing their own clothes.
Friday 9th November
We have had a busy couple of weeks back getting prepared for our class assembly. We have written a range of different types of poems and worked on developing our vocabulary to make them more interesting. We look forward to sharing them with you next week. Thank you for helping the children rehearse their lines, songs and poems at home. It is greatly appreciated.
In reading, we have started our next class novel, Grimwood. Which is a lovely book, which follows the adventures of two young foxes, Ted and Nancy.
In Maths, we have continued to look at adding and subtracting numbers up to 1000. We have been developing strategies to help with this by using place value charts. We have also been applying our understanding of number bonds and number facts to help us.
We have continued to learn about the stone Age in History, but we were also lucky enough to have a History workshop about the Ancient Egyptians. This was to develop our prior knowledge before learning about them in more depth next term.
Friday, 18th October - Happy Half Term
We've come to the end of a fun, challenging, and enjoyable first half-term in Year 3.
This week, we have discovered many creative descriptive words and phrases to describe fireworks and Bonfire Night for our upcoming poetry performance in our English lessons. Additionally, we have been using physical resources to explore addition and subtraction in our new Maths topic.
We have learned about Rosa Parks this week as part of Black History Month. It was fascinating to learn about her incredible life story and how she was involved in the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
During Life Skills Week, we acquired new skills, including money management, how to make a healthy sandwich, and how to administer life-saving first aid and CPR.
This week, we completed our first-ever French topic based on basic greetings and conversation starters, and we wrote our Star Write, which consisted of interesting instructions on how to wash a woolly mammoth.
Finally, we finished our first class novel of the year, "Planet Omar," in which the main character, Omar, moves to a new school, overcomes stereotypes, and makes unlikely new friends!
Thank you to all of Year 3 for your hard work in KS2 this half-term, and a big thank you to all our parents and carers for their continued support.
Have a lovely and safe break, everyone!
Team Year 3
