Term 2
Year 3 Learning Overview
We are kicking off this term by beginning our enquiry to answer the question `How do we live a healthy lifestyle?` which links to Global Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being. We cannot wait to learn more about our skeletons, the food groups and how this keeps our bodies and minds healthy. Alongside this, we are continuing to explore writing features such as; adverbs using `George's Marvellous Medicine` by Roald Dahl as our key text. We will also be cooking up a storm and preparing a healthy meal using instructions we have written! Please check our page for updates on our fantastic learning!
Being scientists
This week we set about trying to find out if there is a relationship between the length of our femurs and how far we can jump. We thought lots about what makes a fair test and how we can best analyse the results we recorded.
Being an athlete
This term 3CR have been put on their dancing shoes. Our inspiration for our dance has been from different circus acts. This week we looked at a tightrope walker. We thought about height, balance and posture. We performed our dance to the class.
Being scientists and engineers
3CR have been enjoying being scientists and engineers this week, doing some market research on what makes different foods appealing, ahead of designing their own dishes.
Whilst learning about the different food groups, and what good they do for our bodies, they have loved trying different fruits, vegetables and pizzas. They have been thinking about how taste, texture, smell and appearance all affect our enjoyment of food.
Term 1
Year 3 Learning Overview
Year 3 are kick starting the year with an incredible enquiry into the lives of people living in the Stone Age to the Iron Age. We will be using the books 'The Stone Age Boy' to help us introduce targets into our writing to make it engaging for our readers.
In order to answer our enquiry question of 'What can we learn from Stone Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age?', we will be explore what life was like for people living throughout these years to compare what was the same and what changed.
Keep checking out our webpage to see all of our fabulous work and find our the answer to our enquiry question!
Being an artist
This week 3CR have been using our sketchbooks to develop our artistic skills, using multi-media to create our masterpieces. We painted our interpretations of Pablo Picasso's The Bull and used oil pastels to design cave paintings. We absolutely loved using different grades of sketching pencils to draw our self portraits, learning about how to draw face dimensions accurately.
Being a poet
We loved celebrating National Poetry Day this week by learning all about poetry. We We had a go at writing our own poems about animals and learned to recite a poem as a class to perform for an audience of our parents and carers. We used our oracy skills to enhance our delivery, trying out performance techniques such as projecting our voices and using actions to help us remember our lines.
Leap like a leopard
Being a Historian
We started our enquiry 'What can we learn from the Stone, Bronze and Iron Age?' by doing a range of different Stone, Bronze and Iron Age activities. We carved soap to make flints for spearheads, painted with natural resources such as berries, made Stone Age shelters, tried weaving and looked at replicas of Stone Age flints. This has made us excited for everything there is to learn about the Stone, Bronze and Iron ages!
