Year 3 New 2023-2024

• Monday 16 September 2024 Year 3 explore are techniques In year 3 this week we have looked at line drawings and how to show movement underwater. We drew different sea creatures and also completed colour washes in preparation for our sea scape collages.
• Thursday 20 June 2024 Year 3 got creative for Sky Arts Week This week, year 3 had a fantastic creative time. As part of Sky Art's Week, the children discussed the theme of connection. They looked at story illustrations and landscape paintings and imagined that they could jump inside them. Then they created doodle landscapes and also looked at changing colour in landscapes.
• Friday 24 May 2024 Year 3 Learn about Shadows In our science learning this week, we have been investigating the best material to make shadows. We were given a brief about Isaac, whose baby sister finds it difficult to sleep at night due to too much light getting in. We were then tasked with finding the best material to make curtains. Through our learning, we discovered materials are either transparent, translucent or opaque. With this in mind, we knew we needed our curtains to be made from an opaque material. We then tested which ones were best at blocking the light.
• Friday 17 May 2024 Year 3 took part in World War II Day On Friday, the children were able to dress up as part of our World War II day. They took part in a range of activities so they could fully immerse themselves as though they were children during this time. They were fortunate enough to have a guest speaker who was a child during this time. Although the children have studied diary entries and letter writing from the perspective of a child, it was great for them to hear first hand the experiences of Rosalie (Mrs Vallance and Ms Mullins Mother). We were so grateful that she could volunteer her time to speak to us. A huge thank you from all of year 3!

We explored the museum and saw furniture, rugs and wallpaper that William Morris designed. This inspired us to sketch some of his animal and plant designs.We then used the ideas we saw in the museum to create our own print designs in an art workshop. We learnt how to use a printing press and created these fabulous designs.
• Monday 4 December 2023 3H Assembly || Living together || November 2023 We were treated to an amazing 'Living Together' assembly on Friday where 3H shared their knowledge of what it means to be a part of a diverse community, both within school and the wider school community. They explained that being part of a community is important because it helps us to connect with different people.

• Thursday 16 November 2023 Institute of Imagination Workshop As part of our sustainability STEAM collaboration with the Institute of Imagination, we had an exciting art workshop in year 3 this week. We used wire, junk modelling, pipe cleaners and collage materials to create balance sculptures in the style of the artist Alexander Calder's mobile sculptures. We even got to share our work over the internet with other schools around the country.
• Thursday 16 November 2023 Geography Services in the Local Area In geography this week, year 3 looked at services in the local area. We then discussed whether we thought these services were essential or a luxury. We also discussed whether we thought services in other areas such as rural areas would be the same as our urban services.
