Year 3 thought about how we could be Agents of Change for people with dementia. We discussed what dementia is and how we could support people who have this. We then made an action plan about how we could help and how we could be Agents of Change, which we will be continuing to do this term during our worship.
Year 3 had a fab time at the library today picking out their new books! We listened to 2 stories read by the librarian and then went off in search of a book to read. We picked up some books on our Summer term topics – Emperors & Empires and Plants! We can’t wait to come back after Easter to start learning about them!
In DT, year 3 have been very busy! Following on from our lesson on Friday, we have designed, created and evaluated a cams mechanism. We had to work as part of a team to create a plan and drawing of the mechanism that our group voted on. We then decided on the equipment needed and the steps required to build it. Once completed, we tested our mechanism and evaluated our work. We were very impressed of our achievements in our Making It Move forward topic!
For Far Away Friday, year 3 explored Italy. In our maths we focused on fractions by using different toppings on pizzas and working out halves and quarters. We then did some research on Italy and created fact files with interesting facts. We then enjoyed a tasty margarita pizza. 
In our DT we were looking at cams, we followed instructions and created a mechanism to move our Italian flag which you can see on Seesaw! 
For oral health day year 3 got a visit from our school nurses who informed us with a lot of information on how to keep our teeth and gums healthy. We then created posters on seesaw of dos and don’ts and why oral health is important. 🦷🪥
Today year 3 created ammonites by drawing a spiral shape into foam and then rolling ink onto them. We then pressed them onto our books to create a spiral ammonite.
Last week in Spanish, year 3 looked at colours and numbers. This week we looked at different countries and in our books we wrote the different countries in Spanish and wrote where we were from. We are really enjoying are our Spanish lessons! 
Year 3 had a fab (but very muddy!) session in forest school, this week! Linked to our topic Rocks, Relics and Rumbles, we had an afternoon of geography fieldwork investigating soil in our nature garden. We took samples, looked at its features and properties, made comparisons, and then concluded that the majority of the soil we found was clay soil. Great fieldwork year 3!
and some to us even won prizes from our mystery box.
