Sculptors in action!
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
On Thursday, year 3 completed their clay sculptures in the style of Barbara Hepworth during our art lesson. There was an incredible buzz in the classroom as the children really put their all into their work. They supported one another, offered suggestions as well as creating, evaluating and redrafting. Next week we will be evaluating them and sharing our work as a class. Have a look for yourself!

Friction Investigators!
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
This week in Science we have been learning about friction as well as exploring which materials provide the most friction. We carried out a class experiment to investigate this, focusing on how to keep the investigation fair as well as comparing our results. We had a real variety of predictions but we found that carpet and bubble wrap provided the most friction when sending a car down a ramp.
SUMMER PE

We enjoyed a wonderful quick cricket taster session with Amy from the YMCA who will be teaching us all about athletics in the summer term. It was amazing to be outside in the sunshine and we definitely have some keen cricketers in Year 3! The children will be putting their skills to the test during break times.
Barbara Hepworth

Last week, we started our sculpture project on Barbara Hepworth. The children have been using their sketch books to explore, evaluate and sketch some of Hepworth’s work. They have started to use this information to design some of their own abstract sculptures which they will then make out of clay.
