Plants
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
This half term we are learning about plants in science. At the beginning of our topic, the children were asked to create a poster in groups explaining everything they already knew about plants from their learning in KS1.The children worked collaboratively; sharing ideas, allocating jobs as well as lots of wonderful discussions. The posters were so good that they are all displayed in the classroom!
Sensory Poetry
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
We have been reading and exploring the poem ‘I asked the little boy who cannot see’ during our English lessons which is based on colour. This week we have been exploring different colours using our senses. All these ideas will help create our own sensory poems based on the poem.
Seasonal tarts

In DT this week, we have been learning about different seasonal fruits and vegetables and where they are grown around the world. The children made their own fruit kebabs and tried many different fruits even lychee! They then had to design a seasonal tart of their own using their chosen fruits or vegetables as fillings. Many of the children chose to make a fruit one and we had a very happy class on Thursday afternoon when we got to eat them! Lots of amazing skills were shared.
Yoga

As part of our ‘Healthy Living’ week, we took part in a Yoga workshop with Amy from the YMCA. It was a wonderful, calming atmosphere and all the children really enjoyed the session.
Come to Olympia!
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
The children have created some wonderful persuasive leaflets about Olympia in English. Using persuasive language, key facts, complex sentences and rhetorical questions the children needed to persuade visitors to visit Ancient Olympia. They are all displayed for everyone to see in our classroom.
