• Year 3

  Fri 21 Oct 2022

  We have had a fantastic yet super busy half term in year 3. In our English lessons, the children have all written creative stories all about a portal, they focused on setting description and what it would be like to go into another world.  We have also been trying really hard to learn how to count in our 3’s, 4’s and 8’s in maths. In our geography unit, we have been looking at the structure of the Earth and volcanos and the advantages and disadvantages of living near one. The children really enjoyed looking on Google Earth and finding active, dormant and extinct volcanos. We have also had a festive DT unit were the children designed, made and evaluated their own festive sandwich. Thank you to all the adults who made it school to taste the children’s sandwiches. We have also been exploring forces and magnets in our science unit.  The children set up investigations to test the poles on a magnet and even created their own game with just a magnet, paper clip and piece of paper.

  What a great half term we have had in year 3 this term. I am looking forward to coming back in the new year and carrying on our super learning.

  Merry Christmas and happy new year!

  Canada class have had a very busy but exciting half term.

  In English we created our own stories and newspaper reports based on our model text named The Caravan.

  In maths we have been learning about place value, rounding and estimating along with subtraction and addition.

  Our history unit was all about the cotton industry and the affect it had on the local area. The children also learned about the links that the trade had with America and about the slavery involved in the production of cotton.

  In art the children have been looking at the work of Antoni Gaudi - especially his Salamanders and they have used sketching and collage skills to work in small groups to produce their own pieces in his style.

  Year 4 were lucky enough to lead our school worship for the harvest festival. We were blessed with dry weather to get us to and from church. Despite not having a practise in church before the service,along with no sound system, all of the children were amazing.

  We performed a song from the service on Grandparents' Day and this can be found on the website.

  We are looking forward to another busy but exciting half term ahead.
