Hi Year Three Families,
Goodness me, we have had a busy start to Autumn 2 in Year 3. In History we are learning about The Stone age to the Iron age, we started by designing some tools or weapons and we've also learnt about the three different ages of the Stone Age.
In English we have complemented our History focus by using The First Painting as our text. Children will finish this module this week by writing a story in the first person. We made some amazing Freeze Frames this week!
We have started a new art focus and are focussing on Sculpture, we have been studying the environmental sculpture Maya Lin and we have been busy designing our own sculpture.
In Maths we have continued our focus on column addition and subtraction. If you would like more timetable paper copies please do let me know.
In Science this week we were learning about the human skeleton.
Most excitingly this week we received letters from Australia, we are hoping to establish a pen pal relationship with Blue Mountain Grammar School in Wentworth New South Wales, all children replied to their letters and we await their reply. To compliment this activity home learning is a child led research task on Australia. Children can present this information anyway they choose, they might like to do a poster.
As ever please do get in touch if you have anything you would like to discuss.
Ms Evans, Mrs Scott, Mrs Thomas and Miss Gosling
