Our final pieces of art work ❤️
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
Last week we finally finished our painting and sewing unit of art based on the work of Alice Kettle. The children thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of this topic and would have spent many more hours sewing, adding further detail if they could! It was wonderful to build on the excellent sewing skills, the children already had from key stage one to create these final pieces. We are very proud to display our work in the classroom. Next half term, we will build on these sewing skills further during our DT project where the children will learn to create a cross stitch as well as appliqué.
BBC CHILDREN IN NEED DAY

We had a wonderful day raising money for BBC Children in Need even though we had to run around the playground for 20 minutes solid! It was all for a great cause, and real perseverance was shown by all with lots of encouragement along the way. Thank you to everyone who donated and for the added spots!
Anti-Bullying Week

On Monday we all wore odd socks to school to mark the start of Anti-Bullying Week. ‘Odd Socks Day’ is used to symbolise that we are all unique in our own different ways. There was certainly an array of colour in year 3 which brightened up our Monday morning!
Autumn Poetry

The children have written some wonderful autumn poetry recently based on the senses. They are all really proud to have their work displayed in the classroom.
Exploring light sources
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
This week in science, we started our new topic on ‘Light’. The children sorted different images, according to whether they were a light source or not. They then sorted the light sources into man-made and natural. We had some interesting answers to begin with! But it was a real insight into what the children already knew and we are looking forward to exploring darkness next week.
