We have been completing many different tasks this week in Year 3. In Maths, we have continued our work on fractions and using the bar model, we have been finding out fractions of amounts. In English, we have been completing our biography on Micheal Morpurgo. Mrs Broda-Kaye and Ms Tinnon have been really pleased with our writing and structure. In Art, we have completed out relief clay tile and painted them. We used small details to add more description to our clay designs. In Geography, we have looked at Western Europe. We identified the countries in the atlas and then found popular landmarks. It made us want to visit all of the countries!

This week we had a special visit from Fenland Activity. When they arrived, we got to complete archery or wall climbing. Mrs Broda-Kaye and Ms Tinnon were amazed at how close we were to getting a bullseye on the target board. One of us hit the bullseye balloon! On the wall climbing activity, many of us reached the top with the support of our class. In Maths, we have continued our amazing work on fractions. In Art, we have used clay to create a relief tile. Many of our designs were really decorative and relaxing.

This week, have complete amazing reports on Alfred the Great. In our writing, we carefully focused on our sentence openers and how these make our sentences more detailed and interesting for the reader. In mathematics, we have investigated fractions and compared them using a fraction wall. Mrs Broda-Kaye was really impressed with how well we could find each fraction on the fraction wall. In PSHE, we looked at the importance of food groups and what the different food groups do for our bodies. In science, we have looked at the different types of rocks. Mrs Broda-Kaye showed us a silly way to remember the complicated vocabulary- sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous.

What an amazing start to the Summer Term! We have got straight back into our learning with lots of challenges. In english, we have started looking at our new book Beowulf. We have found out that Grendal is a deadly beast that is fiercely evil. In Writing, we have been looking at Alfred the Great and how we can use different openers to keep the reader interested.
In maths, we have worked really hard on adding and subtracting fractions. We have used bar models to support us and now we are mentally completing the challenges!
We have had a special visit from the Life Education Bus. We learnt about the brain and how we keep healthy. The bus was a really exciting experience with lots of knowledge.

Our final week before the Easter celebrations. It has been a fun and active week with lots of exciting days. At the beginning of the week, we performed our Year 3 & 4 performance called The Greatest Show to our families. We received a huge amount of applause and some of the adults went home rather wet after our clown antics. In Art, we have completed out Anglo-Saxon projects. We have painted our letters using water colours. We used fine paint brushes to add detail and create beautiful pieces. Our final art piece completed this week, was our Bayeux Tapestry. We drew a ship from the tapestry and then used felt to complete our piece. Our Easter morning was a huge success. Happy Easter from all of us in Year 3!

Week commencing 5th February 2024
Year 3 have been working on measure this week in Maths. We began the week by looking at using m, cm and m. We gathered a range of different items and then measured these using the correct units of measure. For our English this week, we have been busy drafting our letters to Lila's father. We wrote in the first person and included lots of emotive language to keep our reader engaged. In Art, we have had a busy afternoon, creating our own papyrus paper. We mixed flour and water then dipped strips of paper to over lap and create a base. Even though we had a messy classroom, the final papyrus paper looks amazing.
In Science, we have investigated our shadows. We went outside during different times in the day and drew around our shadows and then measured them. We discovered that our shadows move due to the position on the sun.
In History, we have been busy creating a piece on all we know about the Anglo-Saxons. Mrs Broda-Kaye was really impressed with our knowledge, particularly our facts about Sutton Hoo.
