  • This week in Year 3

    Published 24/01/22, by Andy Mari

    What an exciting week we have had in Year 3! 

    In science, we became explorers and went on a walk around our school grounds to identify different rock types. We then discussed their properties and matched these to their purpose. Can you ask your child, “What properties does slate have and why would it be good as a roof tile?” 

    In English, we independently wrote our own diary entries and have started to delve into the alternative fairy tale for ‘The Three Little Pigs’. Can you ask your child, “Why was the Big Bad Wolf misunderstood?”  

    In maths, we finished our unit on money and are now looking at units of measure. Specifically focusing on length, volume and mass. Can you ask your child, “How many centimetres are there in 3 metres?”  

    In history, we hot seated a Roman, Celt and Boudicca to ask questions to find out more about their different viewpoints.  

    Well done for another fantastic week!

  • New Year - New Investigations

    Published 12/01/22, by Cressida Whitfield

    We are delighted with the start that Year 3 have made to the new term. We've started to find out about the Romans and how they conquered Britain. Ask your child, "What is the difference between a settler and invader?"

    Also, we have begun our exciting science unit all about rocks and soil. We have handled lots of different types of rock and discovered how different their properties can be. Ask your child, "What rocks can you find on your way to school and what properties do they have?"

    In English, we are exploring the features of a diary and will be writing our own diary entries based on the Romans.

    Well done for a fantastic start!
