Today, we had an Ancient Egyptian Day in Year 3. There were gods, goddesses and pharaohs in the classroom! We learned about hieroglyphics and write messages and made a clay tile with our name on it (written in hieroglyphics of course!). We did some Egyptian maths too! We had a mummy making contest…

Today, we walked to Williamson Park! It took about an hour but we had a great time when we got there. We went into the Butterfly House and explores the zoo afterwards. We had our lunch on the steps of Ashton Memorial and a play on the playgrounds. We then did some map reading and orienteering in…

Today was such a nice day, we decided to have a sunbathe...a maths sunbathe. We have learned about parallel and perpendicular lines this morning so we were using that knowledge whilst sunbathing!

This morning, Year 3 took part in a workshop all about Ancient Egypt. We learnt about the social pyramid, made a timeline of the different ages of Ancient Egypt, learnt about different Pharaohs, handled artefacts and mummified a Pharaoh. It was fantastic and we all really enjoyed…

This morning, we were taking part in a Brazilian music session. It was very fun and very loud!

Today in Science in Year 3 we have been learning about how insects help to pollinate flowers and create seeds and new plants. 
Using paint or cheesy wotsits as pollen we were bees, moving from flower to flower. Our sticky fingers left a trail showing us the movement of the pollen grains.

This afternoon, we were learning about the abstract artist Wassily Kandinsky as part of our ‘pattern and colour’ Art unit. We tried to recreate a piece of his artwork - Squares with Concentric Circles.

This afternoon, Year 3 went for a walk around Dorrington Wood so that we will be able to compare it to the rainforests we are learning about this half term. Unfortunately, as soon as we got there it began raining! When we got back to school (after we dried off) we learnt that rainforests were very…

This morning, Year 3 were using McDonalds’ nutrition calculator to find out how much fat is in our favourite food choices at McDonalds. We were surprised by some of the results. We didn’t expect there to be the same amount of fat in a chicken salad as there was in a…

How lucky we are to have welcomed none other than British Fencing Paralympian, Justine Moore!

Justine was so generous to come in and work with the children who attend 'Fencing Club', providing them with a very rare opportunity of not only receiving advice from a Paralympic champion, but to…

This afternoon, Year 3 were finding out what was in soil. We filled a bottle with a soil sample and water and shook it. We then made observations of what we could see. We will check again next week to see if it has changed.

This afternoon, we have been using clay to make more Eva Rothschild sculptures.
