Welcome to year 3!

Our year 3 teachers are:

Vivaldi - Miss Boyle (Teacher) and Mrs Hackett (TA)

Beethovan - Miss Brown (Teacher), Mrs Ward (TA) and Mrs Marrs-Williams (TA)

As part of our Rainforest Topic, year 3 went on a school trip to Birmingham's Botanical Gardens. Here the children learnt more about the rainforest plants and animals. 

As a school, we walked into Bedworth Town to celebrate Remembrance Day and watch the parade. We waved flags and cheered them on!

Vivaldi class enjoyed a walk around their local town. The children have been learning about what their town has to offer and went on a class walk to spot the facilities Bedworth has to offer.

Year 3 have been learning about teamwork, communication and leadership through Commando Joes. We have learnt about explorer Ed Stafford and have completed challenges linked to our topic of the Amazon Rainforest. 

In year 3, children research a variety of fruit and vegetables. They look at why they grow at certain times of the year and also why we import and export some of them.

Here, the children explored 3 different fruits thinking about the taste and texture.

Children washed their hands, used a knife and chopping board to develop their understanding of food safety and food hygiene.

Then, to finish, they enjoyed their own skewers.

Today children enjoyed a dance session with Ricky! Ricky visits us each year and children are always delighted to work with him.

During Art Week, the children looked at the many different types of sculptures that can be found in Bedworth. We focused on a local artist called Stella Carr who designed The Miner in the park. We used learning from other subjects to create our own sculptures.

We learnt the required skills to make a Greek pinch pot.

In our Science unit this half term, we looked at different materials and carried out our own experiments to see if they were transparent, translucent or opaque...take a look.

Year 3 welcomed Portals to the Past into school to help with the introduction of our Ancient Greece topic!

JP, our Greek tour guide for the day, shared exciting stories and some ancient Greek games. In the afternoon, we found our competitive streak, and participated in some Ancient Olympic games!

In Spring 1, children study an artist called Andy Goldsworthy. Children found out that his art is created using only natural materials found in the environment. We collected our materials and made our own creations, inspired by him.

Take a look...

To support our writing, year 3 followed their learning partner's instructions to make a jam sandwich. This will help them to write a set of instructions for the book we are reading, "How to Wash a Woolly Mammoth".

Children are learning how to use imperative verbs, ambitious adjectives and organise their writing so that it makes sense.

Children came into school today dressed in clothes that shared what makes then unique. Look how diverse and amazing we are!

Some children included accessories, some children had pictures of their families and some even shared a special family recipe.

Children in year 3 have been enjoying some outdoor learning! Children attempted tying their own knots to create a picture frame for their nature creations!

We have started our DT unit this week. Children are looking at castles and how they can construct their own. We have started by looking at nets of shapes and how we construct them. We have used the skill of 'scoring' to help the paper to fold.
