Canoeing Enrichment Year 3.

Year 3 have been lucky enough to have the opportunity to go canoeing. Children were taught how to row forwards, backwards, turn left and right. Children also helped to return the canoes and take off the ropes to secure them safely. The children had so much fun and we have ticked off one of our enrichments this year! Have a look at some pictures. 🛶😁🍂

Year 3 Visit to Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre!

Our Visit to Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre

We had a fantastic visit to Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre to learn more about life in the Stone Age. We took part in a range of exciting, hands-on activities, including learning how Stone Age people made fires and creating our own cave art paintings. We also explored the museum, where we looked at displays showing what life was like in the Stone Age, including campfires and an impressive woolly mammoth skeleton. To finish our visit, we watched an interesting video all about discovering life in the Stone Age. It was a fun and informative experience that helped us develop our knowledge and understanding of how people lived thousands of years ago! We had so much fun!

Well done to all the children for their wonderful behaviour on the trip!

Take a look at some of the photos from the day!

Year 3 – World First Aid Day

In Year 3, for World First Aid Day, we looked at bites and stings. We looked at the different animals that can bite or sting and then we sorted the animal into whether they bite or sting.

We then looked at how to treat bites or stings and what to do if someone suffers from an allergic reaction after a bite or a sting.

Year 3 Stone Age Drawing!

We have started off our journey in Year 3 by looking at Stone Age Art! We were intrigued to find out how art was created in the Caves during the Stone Age. We tried techniques such as stippling and blended fade to draw Stone Age animals using charcoal.

Here is some of our work!

Year 3 Careers Week

This week, year 3 were visited by a paramedic and a zookeeper as part of careers week. During their talks, the children learnt all about the skills needed for both of these jobs. The children were also able to ask both the paramedic and zookeepers lots of great questions.

As a follow on activity, the children created job adverts for a paramedic and a zookeeper. They had to think carefully about the skills needed for both jobs.

Year 3 Market Research

This week, year 3 invited year 4 to take part in market research for their final DT project.

Year 3 asked year 4 lots of great questions such as:

What mechanism should we use?
What colours should we use?
What pictures should we draw?

Year 4 were so helpful in providing the year 3 children with lots of information for their final project. Keep an eye out for our final projects, we are so excited to make them!

Year 3 Forest School

This half term, year 3 have been showcasing their geography knowledge in the forest school area. Activities such as: creating a river out of tin foil and labelling the key parts, making a cloud in a bottle and using their maths skills to transport as much water as possible from one bucket to another has helped to consolidate their learning from inside the classroom.

Year 3 Easter Packaging

This week, the children have been designing and making packaging for an Easter egg. They have really enjoyed thinking and creating what they wanted their Easter egg box to look like and then creating it in real life.

The children learnt lots of fantastic skills such as cutting, scoring and assembling their net alongside strengthening their packaging by laminating (with an adult’s help of course!).

Year 3 World Book Day

We had a lovely day celebrating world book day on Thursday. We focussed on the book ‘The Adventures of Beekle’ and focussed all of activities around what our imaginary friend might look like and where they might live. In the afternoon, we picked a book from the library and shared the story with year 2 children.
