Today, all the Year 3 classrooms were invaded by two dinosaurs who destroyed the classroom and left behind footprints, dinosaur food, dinosaur dribble and dinosaur eggs. In order to find out more about these dinosaurs who came to Year 3, the children put all they have learnt about measure to good use! The used rulers to find the perimeter of the dinosaur feet and find the length of the dinosaur food (leaves, must have been herbivores!) , used scales to weigh the dinosaur eggs and measuring jugs to measure the volume of each dinosaur’s dribble.
Another successful foundation Friday for 3HL – they have taken part in a range of lessons from French, Art, Music, History and Science!
Here are some photos from our first scientific test of finding out which surfaces cause more friction and also some from our history lesson where the children worked in pairs to figure out the best route for their train lines from Bristol to London!
Wow, what a fantastic first session of Forest school had by 3HL this week! There was lots going on from tree climbing, to building dens, feeding sheep and even making mud soup. The children then finished their session with a nice cup of hot chocolate and a biscuit!
Well, what a fantastic day Year 3 had last week venturing out on their first school trip altogether to Warwick Castle! The children went on this trip to go alongside this term’s topic of ‘Attack and Defense’. Year 3 were incredibly excited to see a castle in real life built by William the Conqueror himself. They got to walk along to the top of the conqueror’s fortress, explore the horrible histories maze, brave the kingmaker and see some fantastic birds of prey. They were even lucky enough to explore the great hall and it’s armory with lots of decorations on display for the Christmas season. Everyone in Year 3 absolutely loved the day!
Year 3 had such a fantastic day this Thursday! They all came dressed up looking fantastic in their medieval clothing then spent the day creating medieval shields, eating a medieval banquet and even did some medieval dancing.
In our 3D curriculum lesson this afternoon, 3HL explored a cartoon based around our topic ‘attack and defense’. The children worked in groups to come up with different questions about the cartoon, then voted for their favourite one which we discussed as a whole class!
Last Friday for National Poetry Day, 3HL learnt a lovely autumn poem and came up with some fantastic actions to go alongside it. A perfect way to end the week!
WOW! What a fun afternoon 3HL had the other week, junk modelling with different recyclable materials to celebrate world recycling week!
In PSHE this week, 3HL learnt about and discussed different feelings that we have. As a class we talked about when we tend to have these feelings and the children used their drama skills to create short scenes that demonstrated these feelings. The children had great fun with this!
Busily being the best we can be!
