Welcome to Year 3 2024-25
Spring Term
In Design Technology, we have looked at shell and frame structures. We found out how to make them stronger using triangles and then used this knowledge to build our own marble run structure.
This term in music we have listened to traditional Indian music. Then we composed our own rag using xylophones and used drums to add a tal to this. We also learnt to sing a traditional song.
In the 2nd half of the Spring term we have practised our netball and tennis skills.
We went to the Lego Discovery Centre and had a workshop to build a spring loaded launch mechanism; we also tested the tyres to see which ones were the best. We had lots of fun seeing the models and building our own as well as going on the rides, in the play area and watching a film in the 4D cinema.
This half term in PE we have been learning to play Handball and Tag Rugby. We have had great fun learning new skills.
In Spanish we have been learning shapes and colours.
Autumn Term
Year 3 visited Accrington Stanley FC and received goody bags and a shirt. We met some of the players and the mascot, Winstanley.
In RE we have been learning about Islam and we made a class model of a Mosque.
In Science, we have been learning about skeletons and we made our own human skeletons.
Year 3 have been inspired by the famous artist Orla Kiely. We looked at Orla’s work which was largely inspired by nature and designed our own repeating pattern based around a Halloween theme. Very spooky!
Year 3 classes joined together and competed in the Inter-Planet Curling competition. Jupiter were the winners and our star players were Myla in 3X and Ellie in 3Z.
At the end of our DT topic we made the toasted sandwiches we had planned. They were very tasty!
