Welcome to Year 3!

This week so far: 

Year 3 have had another fantastic week of learning, showing great enthusiasm and creativity in all of their activities.

In PE, the children began their athletics unit and enjoyed taking part in running races and team games. They showed excellent teamwork and determination, encouraging one another and trying their best in every activity.

In Art, we had lots of fun creating rainforest dioramas using cardboard boxes, arts and crafts materials, and natural objects collected from outdoors such as leaves, sticks, and stones. The kids carefully designed habitats for the tropical birds they made last week, and the finished dioramas are looking absolutely fantastic. The children have loved bringing their rainforest scenes to life with such creativity and imagination.

In English, we started exploring Rhythm of the Rain, an award-winning illustrated book. The children focused on setting descriptions, using rich vocabulary to describe different environments and thinking carefully about how authors create vivid images for the reader.

In Maths, we have continued our work on fractions, concentrating on adding and subtracting fractions and partitioning the whole. The children have been working hard to develop their understanding and apply their skills with increasing confidence.

In Geography, we have been learning about how we can protect rainforests and sustain wildlife. We explored the importance of conservation and discussed ways that people can help preserve these valuable habitats for the future.

We are now well into the swing of our final term, and Year 3 have continued to make the most of every opportunity for learning and creativity. It has been lovely to spend more time outdoors, enjoying the sunshine and making use of our beautiful school grounds.

Have a lovely weekend.
