Biome Homework

This term, the children were tasked with completing homework based on our Geography topic of biomes. They produced some excellent work!

Fortnight beginning 2nd December

We're definitely getting into the Christmas spirit in Year 3! The children have worked incredibly hard over the last two weeks to design and create their own wrapping paper inspired by Cath Kidston. We also visited our local Methodist Church to learn about Christingle. The children had lots of fun and even got to make their own Christingle!

Fortnight beginning 18th November

Over the last fortnight, we have been learning about biomes and creating our own biomes in a jar! We have had lots of fun discussing these and creating our own biomes. In science, we have been using magnets to explore which materials the magnets are attracted to. In maths, we have been learning about arrays and how these can help us with our multiplication facts.

Fortnight beginning 4th November 2024

We have been learning our new text The Selfish Giant and creating some freeze frames from the story. We have also been working so hard on our column addition and subtraction, learning to play glockenspiels, and investigating forces.

We've had an excellent few weeks in Year 3! We've made soil puddings in Science to conclude our topic on 'Rocks' and even made a menu for this! In Hippo Class, we've been learning how to Line Dance as part of our new unit in PE. We also had an excellent workshop teaching us all about Road Safety.

We have been investigating place value with number games, creating our own natural, Stone-Age paints, re-creating the rock cycle using Starburst, identifying verbs and using them in the past simple and the past progressive, and we had a lovely visit from The Dogs Trust.

We've got up to lots in the past 2 weeks! Year 3 began Forest School in week 3 and have had lots of fun working collaboratively with their peers. In Maths, the children have been exploring the place value of numbers and really challenging themselves. In art, we have been creating line drawings for our prehistoric art topic. In English, we've been completing a shared write and writing our own information texts about mythical creatures!

What an exciting first fortnight we have had in Year 3. We have enjoyed our rocks days with Mr Berry, experimented with different ways to represent numbers up to 1,000, learnt all about Stone Age tools and cave paintings, and started writing about dragons!
