Welcome to Year 3
Our Year in Action
Spring 1
During spring term, we have started to learn about the Romans in Britain, creating fantastic versions of the story Escape from Pompeii. The children wrote and illustrated using fantastic descriptions! They used the knowledge of volcanoes they had from our geography topic to paint vivid scenes with their writing.
In R.E we looked at some of the parables Jesus told us to help us live in a positive way. We used drama to show Jesus setting us an example at his baptism.
In maths we have turned our focus to Fractions, looking at unit and non-unit. Adding and taking away fractions and even finding fractions of an amount.
In science the children have looked in depth at forces and magnets, experimenting with magnets and exploring them through observations and practical sessions.
In Art we have created fantastic abstract sculptures made from cardboard. The children were given the challenge of making the sculptures entirely without glue! Some managed where as others may have needed help but everyone enjoyed this topic greatly.
Within our music sessions we have worked with Miss Leather on tempo, singing quickly and slowly and learning to use do, re and mi.
In PE we created dances in teams and performed them following our learning themes of Inspire, Create, Perform.
