Year 3

Chefs in the making!

We had a great afternoon creating healthy wraps. We cleaned and chopped out our food, while thinking about hygiene and safety.

Year 3 Superstar 🌟

This superstar has won lots of medals for swimming competitions with her club! Keep up the hard work.

Happy Eid!!

This morning we have been celebrating Eid with lots of different activities. We have made cards, decorated hands and drew different mosques. We hope you all have a lovely half term and Eid!!

3MS had a great time on the ferry! We loved seeing the River Mersey!

River Mersey

We have had a great trip across the River Mersey! We could see the mouth of the river, the raised embankment and the city skyline. What an experience to have and lovely weather.

Telling stories through making

We created models of Roald Dahl characters using paper and tape. Then we used modroc to wrap our model so we had a hard exterior and it would be ready to paint. We will be painting them when they are dry, so watch this space!

Asking our character questions!

This morning year 3 has so much fun meeting our character Issac from our new English book Rhythm of the rain. We thought about questions we would like to ask and wrote them in our books. We then had the chance to ask our questions to Issac.

Photo editing

We continued with our work editing photos. We created a background, added in our own photos, along with other pictures and then we edited a cropped them. Great work Year 3!

Earth Day

For Earth Day we estimated the noise level of some different roads around our school. We then used our data loggers to measure the actual noise level in dB. We spoke about noise pollution and what means for us.

Exaggerated drawings

We explored different sketching techniques today. We sketched Mr Smith with continuous lines, separate straight lines and with a wash. Great outcomes, well done guys!

Hands Signing Assembly

What a great turn out from our Year 3 parents. We have been practising our signs for everyday interactions and to three songs. We performed amazingly well – great work everyone!

Eid Mubarak!

We hope everyone celebrating today has a lovely Eid.

We had a great time celebrating World Book Day!📚

World book day!

We are having lots of fun dressing up as our favourite characters from our favourite books!! We have lots of fun activities planned for this afternoon too.

Shell structures

We explored some different 2D nets today and created 3D shell structures. We made sure we folded lines and glued tabs to create shapes that could stand up by themselves.

Chinese new year!

This afternoon we have has so much fun in our workshop. We have learned all about the dragon dance and different dances that are performed to celebrate the new year. We even got to have a go at it ourselves! We have also been looking at Chinese lanterns and designed our own for the celebration.

Internet safety day!

This morning we have been learning all about internet safety and what to do if there is something we don’t like online. We spoke about how to use AI safely then worked with our partners to talk about things that are okay and not okay for AI to do.

Stone Age Man (Archaeologist visit)

We have had an amazing afternoon! We had a visit from an archaeologist who brought lots of artefacts from the Stone Age. We looked at and held things that were thousands of years old. The children demonstrated a great attitude and an already super knowledge when answering questions.

Sustainable plastics

In Year 3 we were very lucky to have some trainee teacher teach us about sustainability and how we can reuse some plastics to prevent them damaging our environment if not recycled properly.

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.
