Year 3 - Pink Class and Violet Class
Curriculum overview
Spring 2
Over the Spring term, the children in Year 3 thoroughly enjoyed learning about seasonal fruits and vegetables and used this new knowledge to design their own vegetable tart. They impressed us with some brilliant team work to cook some very appetising tarts. Afterwards, there were some really considered evaluations, one child wrote that they thought the most difficult thing about the process was being brave to try a new vegetable - we were impressed with how many children tried new things during this unit. A lot commented that they would like to cook more at home, so we're looking forward to hearing about those that have chosen to develop their cookery skills and treated their family to a delicious vegetable tart.
Spring 1
Year 3 thoroughly enjoyed the DT unit this term, the children have been developing their sewing skills. We have practised how to use running and cross stitching to add applique, and to embellish our designs. These photographs show some brilliant examples of needle work. It resulted in some fantastic Egyptian style collars from each and every child - well done, Violet class and Pink class.
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!
