Year 3 investigated equal parts today. We found out that equal parts do not need to look the same!

Year 3 used multilink to help show parts and wholes in different contexts. They worked hard to write the fraction down too.
Year 3 History Trip Day 2
The other half of Year 3 have had a brilliant day at Norwich Castle today!
They showed all 3 school rules, ready, safe and respectful and asked some brilliant questions.
What a great way to end our amazing Ancient Egyptian topic!
Year 3 History Trip
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 Maths
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 History
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.
Science Assembly
Today we had a visit from Mad Scientist, Dr D.N.A. who talked to us about various inventors and different types of forces. We watched and took part in air pressure experiments using a Bernoulli balloon. We blew up a balloon with only one puff! We also watched as Dr. D.N.A controlled a huge inflatable football in the air with her industrial ‘hair dryer’! We ended our science show by learning about static electricity. We used a Van de Graaff generator to create static energy. We even managed to create sparks and pass on static electricity from one person to another!
Science Week UK 2023
We have had a blast for British Science Week 2023. Miss Taylor has created an amazing new display in school and the children have been finding out about chromatography, fingerprinting and magnetics in our special lunchtime science workshops!
KS2 Music Assembly
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!
Year 3 English
As part of our English learning, Year 3 have been looking at the story ‘Greta and the Giants’.
