Year 3 sculpted these brilliant clay mammals today. They used sticks to create spines. Didn’t you know a group of hedgehogs is called a prickle?
Building London
Year 3 (Year 3) on: Year 3's Blog
Year 3 pupils used the map skills to rebuild a simple street map of London into a 3D representation. They used the shape of the River Thames as a reference point and placed key landmarks of the capital along it.
Breads from other countries
Year 3 (Year 3) on: Year 3's Blog
As part of our European studies, Y3 sampled bread form two countries. The English cob was made by our pupils and was put up against the French breads, brioche and baguette. Our pupils did a great job of tasting and evaluating the breads. We will correlating the results soon.
Mental health day
Year 3 (Year 3) on: Year 3's Blog
We talked about emotions and how we don’t bottle them up. We said if we bottle the emotion up when we’re angry it will all burst out at some point. We had a sheet to do faces of emotions. We also drew examples of how we could make ourself happy if were angry or sad. Some of the examples were, Have a sleep, Go outside to have some fresh air. Some emotions people did were, ill, sleepy, furious, joyful and upset.
