Year 3

What a wonderful world

We created a new version of “What a Wonderful World”. We used different adjectives to describe the world around us. We then performed our new song in KS1 and KS2 assemblies.

Palaeolithic Cave Art

Within our history lesson, we looked at the first stage of the Stone Age. We have then applied what we know to our art lessons where we used different techniques to sketch with charcoal and create some cave art.

Congratulations to LKS2’s stars of the week ⭐️

Year 3 Winter Crafts

WHAT AN AMAZING TURN OUT! Thank you to all our Year 3 parents and carers for coming and helping finish off our DT mechanism cards.

Thank you!

Mechanisms

We finished off our second prototype today for our DT unit. We labelled our work with key vocabulary and then created some designs to stick onto our arms.

Reading Pictures

We are reading Into the Forest by Anthony Browne. The children are enjoying looking at his fantastic illustrations and seeing what they can spot. The pictures tell the story and keep us guessing about what happens next.

Personification!

We have used today to compile a list of words that personify the sun – both human actions and emotions. We started constructing sentences with these words so we were ready for our next lesson.

We looked at measuring in mm and looked at how our number knowledge can help us measure!

Script writing and performing

We have written scripts for two characters in our book. We have used our inference skills to create a conversation that might have happened between them. Then we had some children perform their scripts to the class.

Remembrance poetry

To think about those who have lost their lives, we created some rhyming poetry. We based our poems on poppy fields, just like our art work.

Remembrance Day 11.11.2025

Year 3 have started Remembrance Day by focusing on some art work that uses paint, fabric and stitching. When they are dry we’ll add some stitching on them to add colour and texture.

In English, we became our character and used actions to think about how the girl is responding to the sun.

Our sun dance in English!

Today we had lots of fun working in groups to create a dance and role play as our character dancing in the rays of sun from our new book in English.
We listened to music about the sun and got into character.

Art and feelings

Starting our new book, we met a character that loves the sun light stroking her skin as she dances. We used this image to create our own to show how the sun makes the girl feel.

Golden ball

To finish off this term, we played a game of golden ball. We continued with throwing, catching and how to move in team games.

Art final piece

Great effort on our final piece in art. Painting with scissors has been a great skill Year 3 have gained over the last term. No pencil markings, just free hand cutting. Everyone has become more confident with this technique and we have some amazing collages of some Ancient Egyptian art work.

Planning time

We are planning our instructions for how the Ancient Egyptians would have mummified a body to preserve it.

We loved our Diwali workshop and listening to the story of Diwali!

Diwali Celebration

We had a wonderful workshop this morning to celebrate Diwali and reinforce the work we have already done in Hinduism. We listened to a story, danced and created lanterns.

Year 3 archaeologist!

We all became archaeologists for the afternoon excavating and finding ancient Egyptian artefacts. We spoke about what we learn from the things that can be found, which are thousands of years old.

Sketching Ancient Egyptian Art

We have looked at sketching parts of a chosen picture to focus in on different sections. We are getting ready for next week, when we’ll be recreating our chosen picture using the painting with scissors technique.

Anti-Racism Session

We had a great session with Loti, talking about how we can be different but are still all humans. We spoke about accepting each other and living alongside one another, which can make us stronger.

Some more pictures from our Year 3 trip to the museum!

Hindu Worship: Puja

Today, we looked at items that are used to create a puja tray. We talked about why these items are important to Hindus and how they are used in daily worship. The children worked very hard and remembered lots of new words.

Matisse and Egypt

Great work using Matisse’s style to recreate some Egyptian pictures. We only used scissors and glue. Our cutting skills are getting better, well done Year 3.

Museum Ancient Egypt

What a super day out! We mummified a body, spoke about what the Ancient Egyptians would have done with dead bodies and went on a scavenger hunt to find information out about the Egyptians.

Cake Sale

Thank you so much for all your donations towards MacMillan Cancer Support. Children had a lovely time – a lot of cake was enjoyed : )

Year 3 had a great session this week practising our throwing and applying it into game situations.

Working within 20

Some boys and girls have worked incredibly hard to be more secure with numbers up to 10 and then 20. Using practical resources they were able to create 10 in different ways.

In PHSE, we discussed what would make a dream school. We then thought about what rights and responsibilities we have in the classroom!
