This week in Year 3 we have worked really hard to develop our understanding of place value and poetry! In maths we have been problem solving, finding all the possible numbers three digits can make, creating clue cards and making our very own place value museum. In English we have planned, redrafted and started to write our poems, making sure that they include a range of different features. In topic we investigated a range of different cameras; we got to pass around a Polaroid camera, a Brownie Box camera and many more! We have also been busy outside, as on Tuesday we identified the different types of trees on the school field and created a map of the playground using their leaves to help. Another great week Year 3- well done!

Welcome to Year 3 2015-16

Well done to all the Year 3 children for settling into KS2 so quickly. They have been working very hard.

Here our some pictures of our Smoothie Day! The children worked so well together and showed great teamwork!We are certainly up for doing it again!

Here are the photos from our inspire workshop! Thank you so much for your support, as always!

Year 3 had a super time this week learning about teeth! The dentists that came in to help us were very helpful and informative!

The children have had a super return to school! They are really enjoying their work on mystery stories in English and have done some complex symmetry investigations. In science, we have kicked off our work on plants with a plant murder investigation and now have a mass of questions the children want to answer. Our current topic is farming and I have found that the children love to look at maps. They have made some very interesting comments about where we choose to put farms.

Year 3 have now made their instruments for our Soundscape topic! They really enjoyed doing this and thought carefully about how to reproduce the sounds they heard in the outdoor area. I was amazed by their ability to evaluate and change their designs.

Here are a few photos of their instruments! The video recordings of all their instruments are on our science curriculum area if you would like to have a listen to them!
