Year 3 had a fab Forest School session last week, focusing on our new geography topic, Our Planet, Our World. We started our afternoon by testing our sticky knowledge from our Year 2 Coastline topic. We reminded ourselves about the difference between human and physical geographical features, and then investigated our nature garden to see which features we could spot, and labelling these on a map. We then looked at the different compass points, completing a task to see if we could recognise each direction.

Year 3 have had an amazing day at Sunderland Museum and Winter Gardens. We have looked at different types of animal bones, labelled the human skeleton and identified different carnivores, omnivores and herbivores. We then explored the museum and winter gardens.

In RE, Year 3 discussed the Bible story of Noah’s Ark and what it was like for Noah and his family to follow God. We discussed our favourite parts and least favourite parts of the story. We then discussed what Noah’s covenant with God was and wrote down the different qualities of Noah.

Year 3 had a practical Maths lesson flexibly partitioning three digit numbers up to 1000.

Year 3 enjoyed their first Library Trip of the year. Catherine read us 2 stories and then we had some time to choose and read our own books. We can’t wait for our next library trip!

Year 3 explored the properties of watercolours by mixing colours and experimenting layering different colours. We mixed black and white to make the colours darker and lighter.

In Science, Year 3 looked at what is a healthy balanced diet and why should we eat it.

Year 3 had their PE lesson. They practiced different skills which included throwing, catching, pivoting and shooting.

Year 2 had the best time during our fit for fun morning on Friday! We were very hot and sweaty from all of the fantastic activities that were set up for us! Thank you to all the staff at St. Oz for doing this!
