Year 3 Activities

Below is a snapshot of what Year 3 have being doing in school. Click on Year 3 photos to see more photos and details.

Art 

Year 3 have recently been making botanical art. They put their artistic skills to the test by using a variety of brush techniques and mixing water colours. Inspired by American painter Georgia O’Keeffe, the children were able to create their own wonderful pieces of art!

History

Year 3 finished their Viking topic in style by putting all their wonderful Viking longhouses together to create one mighty Viking Village! They invited everyone to come and see, then wowed the staff and children with their knowledge about everything Viking from Asgard to runes.

Maths

What better way to learn about angles than with your very own, personalised angle monster! Year Three used their monsters to help them identify all the different right angles that are hidden within the classroom.

Music

Year Three have had a fabulous time adding music to their geography lessons. They have been looking at the 7 continents of the world and their focus in Africa meant that the West African djembe drums just has to make an appearance! The children played call and response games using rhythm to communicate. They also created an accompaniment to 'Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)' which they also performed in assembly, to rapturous applause.

Food Tasting

Year Three enjoyed taste testing and reviewing some traditional food from India as part of their work on Asia. They were able to showcase their developing vocabulary skills to express their reactions to the different Asian flavours. As you can see from the photos, the children's opinions varied greatly!

Geography

As part of Year Three's 'My World' geography topic, they have been learning how to navigate the world using a compass. They then used the eight points on the compasses to help them to direct their friends around the school grounds!

Computing

Year Three have started their brand-new Computing topic this week by learning all about robots! For their first task, they had to become robots and follow a series of coded messages to perform actions. Their job was to create a pyramid of cups using very specific instructions. Although they started small, their robot actions became almost seamless and the pyramids got bigger and bigger!

 

History

Year Three have enjoyed some very creative craft sessions, making models of the First World War trenches using junk materials. They included enemy and allied trenches, no man's land, sandbags and plenty of rats! They were also able to discuss all these features with great understanding and empathy. 

 

Science

As part of their science work, 'Artful Flowers and Fruits', Year Three have been learning all about plants' reproductive system. They've been using both their art and science skills as they tried to recreate as many different flowers as they could. After making their petals, they then added the stigma and stamen to make a really beautiful garden of flowers. 

 

Year 3 Remembrance Day Art

‘At the going down of the sun and in the morning,

We will remember them.’

 

Thank you to the children in Year Three for providing this beautiful poppy art work as part of their topic on The First World War.
