This week in Year 3

In our English learning this week we have been using descriptive vocabulary in our writing to describe the characters and settings from The Butterfly Lion. Everyone has improved their presentation this week, looking carefully at their handwriting! Well done Year 3!

In maths this week we have been revisiting our addition and Subtraction strategies and working on a number line. Everyone has worked hard on their explanations this week and used what they know to work out their problems. Number bonds to 10 have proved very useful!

In our History this week we learned all about how the Neolithic people began to mine for metal ores and created bronze. We explored the cause and consequence of this and how the discovery of bronze improved their lives.

In Art this week in our Telling Stories through Drawing and Making topic  we learned some new sketchings skills from Quentin Blake. We drew some one line and straight line sketches and explored exaggeration to convey a message. Check out our gallery.

In RE we have been exploring the liturgical year. This week we learned all about Ordinary time in the Church calendar and what we celebrate during this time. We learned a little bit about St Oswald and how his feast day is on the 5th of August.

In Science we started our new topic on Forces and Magnets. Have a look at our fact sheet below to see what we will be learning about this term.

Have a great weekend!

The Year 3 Team.
