Year 3: Chick, drama, sketching and hot cross buns!!

Thank you all so much for supporting your children with their home learning this half term. We have had some amazing work handed in, including the brilliant persuasive letters! With so much effort put in how can I say no to some fun time and easter egg hunt tomorrow afternoon! 

We had a visit this morning from one of the chicks that have hatched! 

This week we have written letters to our link school in America, each child is going to have a penpal over there which is very exciting! 

Today we have used the Now Press Play headsets in Science to find out what plants need to survive! 

In Art we learnt about the French artist Henri Rousseau and looked at his famous painting, Tiger in a Tropical Storm (surprised). We related it to the artwork of the tribes we learnt about and discussed how Rousseau actually hadn't been to the jungle so a lot of the plants in this picture do not grow there. 

We then followed an online step by step tutorial to draw tigers. This was fantastic and the children loved the challenge (well most of the time!) 

This is the link to the video we used:

Art for kids hub have lots of videos with step by step guidance of how to draw different animals.

Finally, at the end of the day we spoke about the Easter story and why people eat hot cross buns, then ate some!
