Sports Day!

Year 3 had the best afternoon participating in this year’s sports day! Everyone tried their best and showed real sportsmanship when celebrating and cheering on their friends!

Journey

This half term, Year 3 have been working really hard on creating their own narrative inspired by Aaron Becker’s wordless, picture book ‘Journey’. We were really excited to share our published versions with the children in Early Years. The Early Years children listened really well to our stories and were very excited to look through the picture books that we have also created to go alongside our narratives!

Try It Sessions

Otters Class had so much fun taking part in the Try It Sessions which was run by the Year 6s. The different stations being run by Sparrowhawks were: volleyball, golf, archery, lacrosse, table tennis, frisbee and blind fold trail. We had so much fun!

Isabel’s Art Lesson!

Isabel, in Otters Class, has worked really hard throughout the year saving up her House Points (children are able to cash in House Points throughout the year to earn various rewards/prizes)! The prize that Isabel chose was to be the teacher for a lesson. The lesson Isabel chose to teach was Art – she created a lesson plan, a PowerPoint and printed resources which her peers would need to be successful in her lesson. Isabel chose to focus on the artist Alma Thomas who is an American artist famous for her abstract circular paintings. Isabel provided really clear instructions on how Otters Class could successfully create their own Alma inspired paintings – we had so much fun!

 

Victorian Games

We’ve had so much fun learning about the Victorians this term! We have learnt all about how different life was for poor and rich Victorian children. We have learnt about the dangerous jobs and the awful workhouses. We looked at what Victorian school was like – we are so glad our teachers are nothing like teachers in the Victorian times! We also had a go at playing some Victorian games – we had so much fun playing ‘The Sculptor’ – one person is the sculptor and has to move their friends into different positions, if you laugh or move – you are out!

 

 

Computing!

We have had so much fun this term creating branching databases! Have a look at our amazing outcomes!

World Book Day!

We had the best day celebrating World Book Day! We did a range of book themed activities throughout the day, we loved watching A Midsummer’s Nights Dream and hearing the Shakespearean language. We also had so much fun stop, dropping and reading throughout the day. It was really nice and cosy to be in our pyjamas all day and the Masked Reader video was so much fun!

Monday-Wednesday of Careers and Aspirations Week!

We have had a really busy start of the week for our Careers and Aspirations week!

On Monday, we welcomed Julia Buckley into school to talk to us all about her role as our Member of Parliament. She told us all about her job role as an MP and what she does for our local community. On Tuesday, we welcomed two visitors into Year 3. The first was Sophie who was from the Sabrina boat company in town. She taught us all about the history of the Sabrina, showed us some old photographs and explained her job role as well as others who work with her. After our time with Sophie, we then met the Poo Professors! The Poo Professors taught us all about how they use microscopes to look at animal poo to check for parasites, eggs or worms. We then were able to look at lots of different specimens (not of poo) using microscopes. These included: human blood, frog blood, a bee leg, a pigeon feather, a butterfly wing and a dragonfly wing – it was so cool! On Wednesday, we took part in a Street Dance workshop which was lots of fun! We learnt all about what it is like to be a dance teacher and then learnt our own street dance routine – Diversity, watch out!

Here are links to watch clips of our dance workshop:

Look Out They’re Coming!!

Year 3 have had a fantastic term of History and Art! We’ve been learning all about Roman Britain from what Britain was like before the invasion to how the Romans have influenced us today. We have done some excellent project homeworks and have practised being real life Roman soldiers through forming the Testudo formation and practising our marching and teamwork skills. We have also made cross-curricular links with art where we have looked at creating our own, Roman inspired, coil pots.

Children In Need: Year 3s Pudsey Visit!

On Friday 14th November, we took part in a non-uniform day to raise money for Children in Need. We had a fantastic day which ended with an amazing surprise visit from Pudsey himself! We all loved getting to meet Pudsey. He gives really good hugs and high 5s – we were very, very excited!
