We had a fantastic week filled with lots of exciting activities. As part of Anti-Bullying Week, we all became professional rappers and worked hard on a rap song called Stop, which was about standing up to bullying. We also celebrated Odd Socks Day, which was a fun way to embrace and celebrate our differences.

We had an amazing lesson in RE, where we used our inquiry skills and worked collaboratively to write what we have learned so far about the creation story.

We had an exciting music workshop this week that truly inspired our creativity. Everyone contributed to crafting a beautiful poem, and the final result was simply amazing. It was a fantastic experience that showcased our teamwork and artistic talents!

What an amazing way to finish our week! We had our first ever school trip in year 3!

We journeyed back in time to the Stone Age and discovered the types of materials early humans might have used to create their first form of art, just like ancient cave paintings. We chose to work with chalk and charcoal, two tools our ancestors might have used, and together we drew a majestic wolf to symbolise our new identity as the Wolf Clan!

In our recent art lesson, we learned about “drowning a cave” using shading and layering.
Children explored how to create depth by using light and shadow. It was exciting to see their creativity!

In our science class, we’ve been exploring rocks and learning their names. We were fortunate to have the chance to touch and examine them up close. The next day, Barnaby brought in a collection of beautiful rocks he had found, and we investigated those as well. It’s been a wonderful hands-on experience!

In our writing lesson, we explored ‘Tell Me a Dragon’ by Jackie Morris, we then brought our own dragons to life in art lesson. Our creations turned out beautifully, and they look truly amazing!

over the past two weeks, we’ve been focusing on collaborative learning. In our RE lesson on creation, children worked together to creat fantastic postcards using natural materials they found in the playground. We arranged these cards into a beautiful display that now brighten up our classroom.

Hello and welcome to 3Z’s blog!

What a fantastic start to Year 3! It has been lovely getting to know them all this week. They have been working hard on getting back into routines and becoming familiar with our daily timetable. This week, we created our self-portraits and had a PSHE lesson focused on habits. We also had the chance to taste some delicious apples from the school’s orchard.
