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!

Computing

We have shown great resilience this afternoon in our first computing lesson. We have had to log on individually and go onto BBC Bitesize Typing Game to practice how to type properly. We found it tricky to not just use one finger but we have persevered and have really enjoyed the game. Lots of us want to practice at home so here is a link to the website:

Year 3 Sports Week!

We have had such a brilliant Sports Week in Year 3! 🏅

We had an amazing Sports Day and were really excited when we saw all of our family and friends coming to cheer us on and support us. We did lots of different events including: egg and spoon race; chest throw; long and triple jump; bean bag shuffle; overhead throw; javelin; running and skipping races! We all showed great sportsmanship and represented our houses really well. We ended our Sports Day with yummy ice-pops to help us cool off after our hard work.

This wasn’t the end of Sports Week though! We were able to come together as a year group to have a go at the Try It Sessions which were led by our fantastic Year 6s. There were a range of different activities to have a go at, including: archery, parachute games, golf, volleyball and much more! It was so much fun trying sports we don’t usually do.
