Year 3

In History, we have been learning all about the Victorian era and the changes that took place during the Industrial Revolution. We learned all about steam engines from a very special visitor..

Autumn walk

We spent some of the afternoon outside looking at the changes as we move into Autumn. The children were very creative!

Science - Skeletons

We have been learning about the different parts of the skeleton and their functions. We went outside and labelled the different parts on our partners outline.

Macaroni!

In our English lessons, we have been reading the Old Lady Who Lived in a Vinegar Bottle. As part of this, our grammar focus has been on inverted commas. Using macaroni, the children identified where the missing inverted commas should go on speech taken from the story. As a challenge, some children had a go at writing their own direct speech and added the inverted commas.

Arrays

We have been working on our times table facts using arrays. The children used counters to create arrays for their multiplication facts. This was building on their prior knowledge of 2, 5, 10 times tables and beginning to focus on their 3, 4 and 8 times tables as the focus for Year 3.

Roman Shields!

As part of our learning about the Romans, over the half term the children were given the challenge of creating their own Roman shield. They are incredible! Each child had the opportunity to present their Roman shield and discuss why they chose that design. We took our learning outside and had a go at being Roman soldiers. Take a look!

Ribchester Roman Museum trip

Year 3 had an extraordinary trip to Ribchester Roman Museum! The day was filled with incredible experiences and learning opportunities.

- The children tried on authentic Roman armour

- We explored and examined fascinating Roman shields

- We delved into the history by looking at ancient Roman ruins

It was a fantastic day and the children had a wonderful time stepping back in history and imagining life in Roman times.

Author: Liz Flanagan

We had a brilliant opportunity of a zoom call with author Liz Flanagan. Liz is a children's author best known for her Wildsmith series. This provided the children with a great insight into what being an author is like, where she gets her inspiration from and how to become an author. The children got lots from this and had a go at creating their own setting and characters similar to the ones in Liz's books.

Maths: Perimeter

In Maths, we have just introduced perimeter. We have been using multi link cubes to help us understand the meaning of perimeter before we have a go at measuring and calculating the perimeter ourselves.
