Year 3 Friday 25th May 2023

Date: 25th May 2023 @ 3:04pm

Welcome to your Friday Blog and Happy Half Term holiday!

This week we have loved reading the BFG. We have been comparing the book to the cartoon and live action film and using these to help us create some lovely pieces of writing. Have a look in our galleries.

On Thursday we had our latest Wonderful World assembly. We read the Little people, Big Ideas biography on David Attenborough. We discussed how we can look after our world and the creatures that we share it with. Our Wonderful World scrap book looks brilliant now. Have a look at our gallery.

In Maths we have been looking at differnt strategies we can use to add and subtract. We also looked at some number sequences and used our number knowledge to solve some problems.

In Science, we completed the plants topic by looking at seed dispersal and the whole life cycle of plants. The children demonstrated their learning by finding dandelions at each stage of the life cycle and putting the plants into order. They annotated the poster with all their learning from the last few weeks. Great job, Year 3!

On Thursday, we went out into our outdoors and created some stick art. We collected some sticks and decorated them using cotton and natural materials. We learned how to tie a simple knot and showed great perserverance when things got tricky. You can see some of our work in our gallery.

We also moved onto the next step of our 3D clay models in Art. We created some miniature models of Egyptian Gods using joins with our clay and experimenting with surface patterns and textures.

Continue to read everynight and spend a little time practising your maths and spellings on Sumdog.

We hope you all have a lovely half term break in the sun.

The Year 3 Team.
