Year 3 - Pink Class and Violet Class
Year 3 Welcome Booklets
Curriculum overview
Autumn 2
What a busy half term it has been in Year 3! The half term started with Pink Class Assembly. Pink Class parents got to see some fantastic acting and performance skills from the children as well as learning a thing or two about the Stone Age. Throughout the half term, the children really enjoyed our topic of mountains. They used an atlas to locate mountains in the UK and around the world and learnt about what it would be like to climb Everest. Every Wednesday both classes have recorder lessons. So far, they have learned 4 different notes, musical notation, have played tunes to music and even had a go at composing. They have made great progress in this wonderful skill. Another highlight of the half term was the computing topic. The children have been learning about animation and have created their own short animations using IPADS. There could definitely be some budding animators in the future!
Finally, the children need to be commended for their wonderful performance of A Christmas Quarrel. They put so much effort into the singing, acting, reading aloud and costumes. It certainly put us all in the Christmas spirit and brought a smile to everyone's faces.
Thank you so much for all your support this half term and all the wonderful Christmas presents the staff have received. We really appreciate your generosity and kindness.
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
The Year 3 team.
Autumn 1
What a busy start to Year 3... the children have learnt so much already. They are especially enjoying some new things now that they are in KS2, such as outdoor PE lessons with Mrs Clarke and recorder lessons. The Stone Age theme has been very successful. Some favourite lessons have been investigating how fossils are formed using sweets and bread; describing woolly mammoths, creating their own cave drawings and of course the Stone Age day workshop. They have even had some energy left for learning how to use column addition and subtraction with 3-digit numbers!
The children definitely deserve a half-term break!
