Year 3 had the best day learning all about the Euros, on Friday! We went back in time and learned about the founding of the Euros, have designed our own football kits and played football at break and lunch times all day! Thank you Miss Randle for organising it for us!
Yesterday, Y3 continued with their work as agents of change for dementia and created name labels in preparation for our visit to Hebburn Living Well With Dementia on Monday. We spoke about how name labels will support those with dementia when they meet us for the first time as they won’t have to remember our names and can just read our gorgeous forget-me-not themed labels!
In art Year 3 are looking at ‘botanical art’. We watched a botanical artist and studied plants closely to sketch our plant. We then used water colours to record swatches of colour.
In Year 3 we have created a page in our floor book to show our learning about what digital devices are, how digital devices work and which devices need an input and an output. We could tell some of us had great discussions at home for our talk homework this week and this helped us to show our knowledge in class to help us with our work today.
Yesterday, Year 3 went to The Discovery Museum to start their Science topic all about ‘Light & Shadows’. We learned about how fast light travels, made a camera obscura and even got to play with light in the Science maze!
This week Year 3 have been practising our back stroke. We were told to keep our eyes up, kick our legs and keep our arms to ourselves.
The Year 3 Lego League club had a brilliant first session where we all got to know the story of the Lego League Expllore Challenge and began our work on all things Lego! We got stuck in and LOVED IT! Teamwork was the main focus of the night and we were great at it!
Yesterday, Y3 and 4 had a fab day at Monkton Stadium. We took part in a range of athletic activities throughout the day and spent some time with our friends at Bede Burn!
This morning, Y3 went to visit some allotments to kick start their new DT topic ‘Greenhouse’. We spent the morning focusing on the structures of greenhouses, how they are built and what features they need. We can’t wait to learn more about it and eventually make our own!
This week Year 3 have been focusing perfecting their techniques using front crawl. We are love our swimming lessons!
