We had an amazing day at Norwich Castle learning and consolidating our knowledge about Ancient Egypt.
We got to look at what life was like in Egypt, explore real artefacts, look at a sarcophagus, create Egyptian jewellery and think about the question ‘should artefacts remain in the tombs or be taken out to study?’
Well done to Year 3 who showed they were safe, ready and respectful and thank you to Norwich Castle for being fantastic hosts.
Year 3 have explored equal and unequal parts as well as parts of a whole in maths this week as part of their Unit Fraction work.
Today, we explored ‘if X is a part, what could the whole be if the whole has X equal parts?’
We enjoyed investigating, have a look at some of our work!
Year 3 enjoyed recapping their learning about Ancient Egypt ahead of their trip to Norwich Castle this week.
They created their own cartouches out of clay and used hieroglyphics to decorate and write their names.
Today for KS2 music assembly, we welcomed Norwich High School.
The children had lots of fun learning different vocal warm ups and were treated to an oboe, cello and trumpet demonstration.
What a great experience for the children!
As part of our English learning, Year 3 have been looking at the story ‘Greta and the Giants’.
Today, they enjoyed making their own placards about saving the planet and loved shouting outside Mr Cross’ office!
Today, KS2 had a special visitor to show them brass instruments.
They were able to find out what makes a brass instrument different to others, how the tubing and size of instrument affects the sound and range as well as ask lots of questions!
What a brilliant opportunity!
All of year 3 had a great time today making bird boxes! They had to show teamwork skills and grit and determination!
The children were excited to use hammers and nails! Look at our amazing work!
What a week we have had in Year 3!
We have enjoyed looking in more detail at ‘somebody swallowed Stanley’ focusing on similes. We have also been consolidating our column subtraction knowledge, learning about sustainability, including looking at mini models, performing our own raps which we composed on Shrove Tuesday and even dressed up for World Book Day!
Have a look at some of the things we got up to.
As part of English and topic, Year 3 are looking at how we can look after our planet.
Today, we read the story ‘someone swallowed Stanley’ and made our own kites out of old plastic bags. We had so much fun flying them at breaktime!
Les Herissons (and all of Year 3) have loved learning about the Ancient Egyptians.
Look at these amazing non-chronological reports they have produced in writing!
They have so much knowledge and we are all so proud of them.
