English
In English our text is The Stone Age Boy. We read the story and improved our vocabulary and comprehension. We learnt about the different types of adverbs to improve our sentences. Finally we planned our own story using a story board and became authors, writing and publish our own version of The Stone Age Boy.
Science
This half term in science we are exploring Light and Shadow.
We have learnt how light is reflected, conducted experiments to see which material is the most reflective and made our own shadows using Stone Age figurines.
PE - Autumn 1 Rounders
In PE are we learning the skills we need to play a game of rounders.
We have perfected our underarm throw so we will be skilled bowlers as well as our catching so we are able to work as a team when we are fielding.
We have started playing rounders, using a bat, in a small groups.
Enrichment
Enrichment this term is DT (Lego), Art, Cooking, Music, Sport.
In DT the children have started creating their Ocean Lego Project. They learnt about different jobs and roles like a Marine Researcher, Oceanographer and Marine Biologist!
In Art enrichment the children are learning about the artist Andy Warhol and creating artwork inspired by him.
History - The Stone Age to the Iron Age
In History we delved deep into the time period of the Stone Age! We created cave paintings digitally, acted out our story (The Stone Age Boy), became hunter-gatherers, created a model of Skara Brae using Lego and of Stonehenge using biscuits.
Art
In Art our artist this term was Jeffery Andrews. Linking to our history topic we explored different cave paintings, where they were found and used our slow looking skills to understand how the Stone Age people created these painting. We gathered our own materials just like they did in the Stone Age to recreate their cave paintings.
Reading
In Year 3 we enjoy reading and exploring new genres of books. Reading will help us in all aspects of school life! Everyday we either read with our teacher or with our buddy.
