Year 3 have had a great time during prayer space day, this morning. We have focussed on our school values at each station and completed a range of activities linked to them.
In Music, Year 3 looked at stave and dot notations to show the pitch. We identified whether the notes shown are higher or lower than the note shown before.
In their art lesson today, Year 3 have been focussing on using different mediums to draw with detail. We looked at different Renaissance artists who drew anatomy such as Leonardo Da Vinci and then attempted to draw our own hands with detail using our pencils and black pens. We used techniques such as hatching, scribbling, cross-hatching and shading to draw our hands.
Year 3 participated in an online quiz ran by The Word linked to Safer Internet Day. We completed 6 rounds of questions and finished with a great score of 29 out of 30. We had so much fun whilst also learning about staying safe online!
Some of Year 3 practiced a new skill today in gymnastics. We were practicing handstands and trying to improve our overall technique.
In English, Year 3 created a glossary to explain the meanings of new and unusual words by using a dictionary. This is helping us towards our Non-chronological report.
This week, Year 3 focused on different jumps. We practiced a variety of jumps and used our oracy skills to provide our friends with a good point and an improvement point about their jumps.
Today, Year 3 had a fantastic morning looking at L.S Lowry’s art work. We focused looking at the landscape of Lowry’s work and we created our own. Super work Year 3!
In Science, Year 3 conducted an investigation to measure the impact of friction. We chose different surfaces and attached a Newton metre to test the frictional force. We then recorded this information onto a bar chart and table to see which surface had the greatest and the smallest frictional force.
Year 3 had an amazing morning at their multi skills festival. They completed lots of activities led by some brilliant sports leaders. We had so much fun!
