On Friday, year 3 looked at church leaders and how they live their lives like Jesus wanted people to live. They talked about how they shared the word of God, like disciples. They also looked at the different jobs they do for the Church and community. They gave examples such as: weddings, baptisms, visiting the sick, visiting schools and leading worship. Then, Y3 designed a work week for a priest and created a job advert for the ‘Perfect Priest’.
Yesterday, year 3 have had a fun filled day for World Book Day! We have linked our learning to The Elves and the Shoemaker.
In maths we have been helping the Elves measure the perimeter of our shoes using the Elves shoe laces.
For our speaking and listening lesson we took turns reading the story of The Elves and the Shoemaker. We then used our speaking and listening skills to talk about what our favourite part of the story was and who our favourite character was and why. We also were asked was there any part of the story we disliked but to our teachers delight we loved every part! This afternoon we created newspaper reports about the elves who helped a shoemaker and his wife.
Year 3 have had a super day!
Y3 discussed Picture News this morning all about World Book Day. We discussed how we feel about how some children do not own books at home and what those children would be missing out when they don’t have any books to enjoy. We also spoke about why is World Book Day celebrated in schools and why we love it so much! 
For our Cool Task in art we created what we thought an ammonite looked like using play dough and recorded what we thought ammonite was. We linked this back to our previous topic prehistoric pots to help us. We can’t wait to start our new topic in art!
Year 3 have been working hard using our orienteering skills using a map to find different locations in our school. This also links to our knowledge of fieldwork by using our geographical knowledge by identifying different features in our school ground. We then had to write down what we had found and report it back to Mr Barron.
For English, Y3 discussed how and when we use subordinating conjunctions to expand our sentences. We discussed how ‘I SAW A WABUB’ helps us to remember the subordinating conjunctions and this helped us in our subordinating conjunction hunt. We will be using these skills for our writing task coming up!
For Worship this week we were asked to look at autism for Neurodiversity month. We learnt a lot about how our brains are different and how we could help children who may seem distressed or may struggle with communicating on how they feel and we also looked at how we could support them.
Year 3 have been using their investigative skills to explore the length and height of objects we found in the yard. We made comparisons, found total length and found the difference in lengths using metre rulers. 📏
Year 3 created faces using our orienteering map and key. We used our learning from year 2 to help us using our sticky knowledge.
For worship this week we made videos to show what we were passionate about just like Anna and Simeon. We used our oracy skills to show expression and emotion. Well done Year 3! You can see our videos on our Seesaw accounts!
