End of an Era
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
Well the end of Year 3 is here! Its been hot and busy as usual, with modroc sculptures, Greek temples and a music quiz, to name just a few things. The children rounded off their working week with a performance of We Are Greek for the Year 4s (if you can get them to perform it at home, you're in for a treat!)
Only Games Day left and then its on to Year 4! Thank you for a fab year of hard work and lots of laughs, Year 3! We will miss you all! And thank you to all the parents for your generous gifts - you are so kind. Have a wonderful summer!
Penultimate Week
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
How have we reached the penultimate week already?! The children have worked really hard this week in the heat, trying to get to the end of the curriculum before the holidays! They have been revising and learning more about shapes and statistics in maths and putting the finishing touches to their souvlaki recipes in writing, as well as composing in music, setting up an investigation in science and of course, completing their Medusa sculptures in art! a multi-talented bunch!
Plant Power!
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
The children have had a great half term of learning about plants, from their parts to pollination and seed dispersal. Their vocabulary is super and they managed to put all their learning to good effect this afternoon with group presentations to the class about the life cycle of a plant. They spoke loudly and clearly about the various stages, with Logan, Mia and Daniel particularly plant-tastic! Well done, all!
Royal Armouries Fun
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
We’ve and a great day at the Royal Armouries! The children had Spartan School, visited the Oracle to hear about evil King Polydectes, Perseus and Danae (luckily surviving the wrath of the Gorgon Sisters at the end of the visit!) and were able to explore their particular interests in the museum this afternoon. Thank you to our parent helpers, Mrs Cummings and Mr Lunt, who helped the day to smoothly despite the heat.
Healthy Living
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
This week, we have been baking seasonal fruit tarts! The children started off learning about seasonal produce, food miles and practising cutting skills, including the claw grip and bridge hold. Then they had to taste test various savoury and sweet items (some found new things they liked!) before designing their tart, ready to bake and eat! The children have also been practising yoga and of course competing in Sports Day so a super healthy, fun week!
