Oracy
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
We’ve had a great week practising our oracy skills in Year 3. We have been considering different roles in a discussion, such as the instigator, the clarifier and the summariser, then held a discussion to test out our skills, answering the question, ‘Which is the best poem?’ out of The King’s Breakfast, From a Railway Carriage and Chocolate Cake, which we have been reading during our Poetry Appreciation Week. The children had some super ideas but overall, the King’s Breakfast was the winner and we learnt to recite it today! I was wowed by how quickly the children learnt such a long poem - make sure you ask for a rendition if you haven’t had one already!
Stone Age
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
The children are absolutely loving their new Stone Age topic! They are so engrossed, both in writing lessons and in history lessons and have had lots of comments and thoughts about it. I thought we'd never get today's lesson back on track once we'd talked about how they used animal dung to cement their houses together!! Next week, the children will be writing up their planned stories about falling into the Stone Age by accident - they were brimming with ideas this week of woolly mammoths, sabre-tooth tigers and campfires! Can't wait to read them on Wednesday, Year 3!
Hinduism

Happy New Year to you all! Hope you have had a lovely Christmas and a positive New Year so far.
You will find all you need to know about our learning this half term on our class page so please have a look when you get chance.
As you will see on our class page, our RE topic this half term is all about Hinduism and the children have enjoyed learning about the deities today. Then have found out that Hindus worship many gods and goddesses but that they are all formations of the supreme deity, Brahman. Perhaps you could share in your child’s learning about Brahman this weekend.
Merry Christmas!

A classroom full of this much noise and mess and Christmas chatter must mean we’ve made it to the end of a long and busy term! Well done, Year 3! Thank you for a great term of hard work and fun. It’s been a great week to round off all our learning - complaint letters about robots, pneumatic toys and birthday invitations on the computers, not to mention the Christmas party! We wish you all a restful and merry Christmas and hope that 2026 is a great one!
