Year 3 Adverts

This half-term in Year 3 we have been researching and learning about the Caribbean using the text ‘Gregory Cool’. The children have looked at key features and discovered interesting facts which they have included in their own adverts persuading people to go on holiday to the Caribbean.

We have been really impressed with their wonderful writing!

Year 3 Outdoor Learning

Year 3 had a great time during outdoor learning using manmade and natural materials to make boats. Their learning was linked to the story ‘A Home on the River’ and they discussed our school crowns during this activity including curiosity, concentration and independence. The children agreed they need to work on their teamwork when tidying up at the end!

Year 3 and Reception Buddy Reading

Year 3 had a fantastic time on Friday reading to their buddy class in Reception. After they read their banded book, the Reception children chose a library book that they wanted to share with the Year 3s.

Curriculum Day in Year 3

For our ‘British Values’ curriculum day last Friday, Year 3 were learning about representing others, the importance of questions, voting, tolerance and respect. Here is a picture of us ‘voting’ for our favourite things.

RE in Year 3

Yesterday in RE, Year 3 were thinking about the question ‘What is morality?’.

They discussed moral dilemmas, where it difficult to decide what is the right or wrong choice, and wrote down the possible solutions to the scenarios.

Year 3 Outdoor Learning

Year 3 have been enjoying their outdoor learning sessions linked with their current geography topic ‘rivers’.

The children worked in pairs to make a model of a river. They used key vocabulary from their class learning, talking about the source, meander, gravity and river mouth.  They also talked about some of the plants and animals that live on river banks and about the problem of erosion.
