What is year 3’s favourite fruit? Why do snakes slither?

Another exciting week in Year 3! We continued to use the Pied Piper of Hamelin as inspiration for our English work.  This week we retold the story.  Everyone worked hard and we can see real improvement in their punctuation, handwriting and spelling since the start of the year. Well done Year 3.

Did you know that grapes are the top fruit choice for our year group?  Our learning has focused on using and creating bar charts. We all did a survey of our favourite fruits and created accurate charts showing the data.

In History we learnt all about roundhouses from archaeological evidence  and produced detailed, labelled sketches of their outside features.

In Art we continued our collage work inspired by Matisse cutting out the shapes from our pre painted paper and creating a piece of abstract art.

In Science we thought about the similarities and differences in animal bones and were surprised by our findings. We thought about why fish and snakes can wriggle their bodies more than mammals (a long spine with tiny vertebrae). We looked at X-rays of different animals and sorted them into different groups.

In RE we focused on the story of Noah’s Ark, sequenced the story and wrote about the main events.

Have a wonderful weekend. Don’t forget to practise the recorder pieces. Miss Sassinova is really pleased with their progress but the concert is fast approaching and we want everyone to feel confident.

Year 3 team.
