Year 3 discussed the reasons why we wear poppies and then created their own representations of poppies, inspired by the flower art of Georgia OKeefe. These will be made into a wreath to be placed in our Victory Garden.

Year 3 loved their experience day lesson to find more about life in the Stone Age. Handling flint ✅, freeze framing Stone Age jobs ✅ and flint knapping to make an arrowhead ( using soap!!) 

Year 3 enjoyed finding out all about the Gunpowder Plot. At first we looked at a range of sources to see what we could find out. We then used these to help piece together the events of what happened in the run up to the 5th November 1605. We then sequenced the events and wrote our own…

Spooky goings on in Year 3 as they enjoyed dressing up for Halloween Day. They loved their Halloween disco. Such a great effort with all the costumes.

Year 3 enjoyed their Now Press Play experience on Mental Health. We certainly went through the full range of emotions as we followed along with the story. We learnt to talk to family/teachers if we have any worries or are unhappy. 

What a wonderful day it was today!
Year 3 loved outdoor play today in the sun!!! Long may it continue.

Year 3 are loving learning how to make their own comics. This week we learnt how to add in narration, speech bubbles, thought bubbles and words. Now we know how to use all the tools, we have started to design our own comic books. Hopefully have some finished comics by next week.
