Year 3: DT week and reminders for the rest of the term

What a fantastic Design and Technology week we had last week. Here are some photos of the making process. 

The children worked so hard to design, make and evaluate these figures and I am so impressed with the dedication and effort that they put in! 

All of the models are now on display in Brewery Square so please do go and see them. These will be coming home before the end of term. 

We have not set home learning or spellings this week and will not next week. We understand that it can be a very busy time of year for families.  If you feel like your child needs something to focus on please do practice the Year 3/4 word lists I gave you. Everyone also has access to PurpleMash, TTRS, Mathletics and AR reading. 

Below are a few reminders about a few things coming up over the next couple of weeks: 

Tuesday 6th: DT figures that the children made last week will be on display at Brewery Square. They will be in a shop front next to the ice rink and under the screen. 

Wednesday 7th :Please could you aim to bring the children's costumes in by Wednesday for the Christmas performance. If you are unsure of what your child should be wearing, please get in touch with the Year 3 team.
