Y3 - Creating 3d shapes
To finish our shape work, we made of own 3d shapes using tiny sticks and play doh. They were easier to describe when we were holding them in our hands!
Pre historic Britain
Our new History topic is The Stone Age. We have started by exploring new vocabulary and defining the words archaeologist, palaeontologist and geneticist. Their roles are vital to learn about pre historic Britain with so few artefacts remaining and no first hand written accounts.

This half term we will be learning about a more recent saint; Saint Teresa. Our new value is ‘peace’ something Saint Teresa demonstrated so well, it earnt her the Nobel Peace Prize.
First 5 Reads raffle winner of this half term
Class 3 have been reading at home so much this term, especially during the holidays. Congratulations to this weeks raffle winner - enjoy your new book!
Similes and metaphors
Whilst studying different poetry skills this week, we have looked at the use of similes and ,metaphors. We had a go at describing ourselves using these 2 skills. Can you guess which child each short poem is describing?
French weather reports
The children have worked together in French to write their weather report. They chose a city from the map of France and used a model to prepare their weather forecast, practising the weather expressions they have been learning this half term. Super work, Bon travail!
Looking after our grounds
Inspired by David Attenborough’s 100th Birthday celebrations, we went outside to care for our planet by litter picking the field and watering the crops.
Maths: Money
Today some children started work with Money in Maths. We used replica coins to count how much we had in total for each question, then found different ways to make the same amount.
Creating a questionnaire
During our Geography lesson, we worked in table groups to come up with a list of amenities we think our village lacks. We have created a questionnaire to complete at home, to ask other people to give their opinion. We will use the results next week to create a new sketch map of Great Haywood,…
Labelling and exploring
This afternoon with one of our parent helpers, we had a quick tidy up of the outdoor classroom, weeding, labelling the vegetable beds and watering. We also found quite a lot of minibeasts enjoying our outdoor space!
Visualising a character
We have just read about a terrifying creature in our Iron Man story, the Space-Bat-Angel-Dragon. During our Whole Class Reading session today, we used our visualisation skills to draw what we imagine the creature to look like, using evidence from the text.
Caring for our plants
With all of the warm, sunny and dry weather we have had recently, it is important we water our newly planted fruit and vegetables.
