Today we looked at what our bodies need in order to survive. As part of this, we looked at the Eatwell plate and grouped foods into the correct groups.
We learnt that animals, including humans, need the right types and amount of nutrition and that they cannot make their own food; they get nutrition from what they eat.
Year 3 enjoyed learning about garden birds this morning. Many of them said they found it relaxing to listen to birdsong while they sketched and bird watched. Here are a few photos.
Year 3 are enjoying learning about the Ancient Egyptians.
We learnt about artefacts and tried to use our knowledge of hieroglyphics to help us look at the artefacts in detail!
We had a wonderful Christmas dinner today and wore the hats we made for morning work. Thank you to the school cooks!
Year 3 went to the cathedral today for an advent/nativity experience. We learnt all about Isaiah, Mary, Joseph, shepherds and the kings. The children were safe, ready and respectful and enjoyed dressing up, doing craft and seeing different items.
We sorted magnetic and non-magnetic objects today. We had fun investigating and exploring the school for objects!
Year 3 were privileged to take part in one of Scholastic Schools Live ‘Festive Doodling’ lesson with Liz Pichon, author of the Tom Gates books.
They enjoyed hearing about Liz’s new book ‘Tom Gates: Happy to Help’ and learnt how to doodle in her signature style!
We looked at advantages and disadvantages of living in a city.
Last week, Year 3 started their topic of measurement in maths. They learnt how to measure in mm, cm and m by measuring lines on the playground.
Back in the classroom, the children then matched their measurements to the real size of different animals, using the books ‘Actual Size’ and ‘Prehistoric Actual Size’ by Steve Jenkins.
We looked at permission in RSE today. We discussed different scenarios and explored why it is important to ask for permission.
