Year 3 have practised spreading skills and using the bridge hold. We have had a very productive morning. all children know now how to get ready to make a sandwich, the equipment and the skills needed. We have a class of independent sandwich makers!
Year 3 have practised skills such as using line, cross-hatching and the impasto technique. They need the unit during and painting their own pictures. They worked on their watercolour technique and experimented with colour mixing. We took Van Gogh’s sunflower as our inspiration however the children’s paintings show great individuality and creativity.
As part of our World Book Day celebrations, each class has learnt a traditional tale, which we shared a special storytelling assembly. Congratulations to all the children for their fantastic performances!
Year 3 – Goldilocks and the Three Bears
We started the day finding out about everyday life in Ancient Egypt, then it was on to a journey to the afterlife. Next, we took part in a mummification workshop, removing a brain and internal organs and preparing a body for the afterlife.
Finally, we visited the aquarium and watched a video about plastic pollution before we admired all the wonderful sea creatures.
In year 3 we explored and evaluated a range of light up signs. We investigated the structure of boxes and how they could be made stronger. The pupils thought about who they would make a light up sign for and what it’s purpose would be. All pupils used their skills of marking, measuring and cutting. They went on to make light up signs following a design-criteria – we hope you enjoyed using the light up sign over the Christmas holidays.
