Year 3 Mathematics Ambassadors
We celebrated NSPCC Number Day by playing maths games, enjoying maths stories and joining in with maths songs.
English
The children in Year 3 read instructional texts and discussed their purpose. We followed written instructions to complete a variety of practical tasks and identified the features of effective instructions. We evaluated the texts, giving reasons for our opinions.
We wrote our own instuctions in pairs, including all the features that good instructions need.
In Science, Year 3 made careful observations to find out that soils are made from rocks and organic matter. The children identified differences between four types of soil and recorded these findings in a table, using scientific vocabulary.
P.E.
In gymnastics, the children in Year 3, have been practising the skills of control and balance. They have identified how they can improve and are working on these areas of development.
In Spanish lessons, we listen carefully and enjoy joining in with songs to help us learn to say numbers and colours in Spanish correctly.
Year 3 investigated a collection of different shell structures and took a small package apart identifying and discussing parts of a net, including the tabs. They then developed the skills and techniques of scoring, cutting out and assembling a net. The children created annotated sketches and prototypes to develop, model and communicate their ideas for their own Christmas gift box. With the help of computer-aided design, the pupils made their boxes and then evaluated their final product.
Year 3 had a wonderful visit to Calderstones Park. The children enjoyed reading, role play and art activities inspired by Hansel and Gretel. After lunch, we had the opportunity to develop our historical skills through a study of the Neolithic Calderstones. We ended our day with an informative and exciting nature trail around the park.
Music
The pupils in Year 3 are learning to play the glockenspiel with increasing accuracy, fluency and control. They are also beginning to use and understand musical notation. This term we are practising and performing songs using notes C, D, E and F.
Glockenspiel lessons
Year 3 are studying the changes in Britain during the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age and have examined cave paintings. The children recreated their own Stone Age artwork and improved their mastery of art and design techniques, including drawing, painting and sculpture with a range of materials such as, pencil, charcoal, paint and clay.
