We have had lots of fun in Year 3 over the last term including World Book Day, Inter-house football competition and learning about other faiths.

As well as having fun we have worked really hard on learning the column method, using speech in our writing and understanding fractions.

Hope you all have a lovely Easter holiday!

As some of you may know, on Friday 19th January Year 3 made flapjacks as part of their Design Technology topic this half term. This helped us work on our weighing skills and ensured that we were cutting the dried fruit safely using the bridge method.

We hope that you got the chance to taste and enjoy our flapjacks.

Very unexpectedly THE GRINCH not only came with a prize for us but he also ran with us during our Santa dash this morning.

We have been writing letters back to him after receiving his nasty letter to us…

We are trying our best to convince him that Christmas is in fact the best time of year.

He threw a prize at us this morning, whoever can be the most persuasive in their letter will win the toy!

As you may have heard, we have practiced a lot of our times tables this week through songs-

Here are some links to our favourites-

Welcome to Year Three 2023

Any questions please let Miss Shaw or Miss Owen know.

Thank you for all of the junk modelling that was brought in for us to use. Today we became engineers and created our very own boats! We had to make sure they were fit for purpose- waterproof, buoyant and could hold a weight.

We had a lot of fun and some of us created very successful boats!

Well done Year Three!

We had a fantastic afternoon making our fruit salads. We learnt how to use the bridging method for safe cutting and managed to cut up a huge amount of fruit!

We created delicious fruit salads that we can use as inspiration as a healthy snack for after sports day, we have been learning about how to fuel our body healthily before and after exercise.

Thank you so much for your donations to our charity fundraising day!

As  a year group we managed to raise £113.55!

The children learnt a lot through their PE lesson, reflecting on different types of disabilities and how this could effect them in different sports.

Please click on the link below to view our animations we have created. Over the past few weeks we have been learning how to create still frame animations, using the skill of ‘onion skinning’ to make the characters move. We learnt how to use a tablet and used various apps to create our final piece with writing and music! Please enjoy.
