This week we continued to use the legend ‘The Pied Piper’ to inspire our English. On Monday we received a letter from the Mayor of Hamelin. He was in desperate need of help. Hamelin was stuck in the part of the legend when the town was overrun with rats. The mayor asked us to create an advert for a rat catcher. We worked hard all week and made some very eye-catching adverts. The Mayor was grateful because The Pied Piper saw the advert and got rid of the rats with his magical flute playing. Well done Year 3!
In Maths we completed our work on addition and subtraction with fact families and moved onto learning about bar charts. Take a look at our unifix bar charts!
In Science we continued to learn about the bones of the human body. Did you know that without a pelvis we wouldn’t be able to walk? In Art we mixed primary colours to make orange, green and purple. We then painted pieces of sugar paper so that next week we can cut out shapes to make Matisse inspired collages. In History we thought about why people in the Iron Age started to live in houses rather than tents. Finally in RE we learnt that the stories of Jonah and the Whale and Noah’s Ark are sacred stories in Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
We hope you have a lovely weekend!
