Welcome to our dyslexia friendly classroom

A tour all scripted and designed by our year 3 children 

Burrs Spring Project 

A lovely email reply regarding our little year 3 class project that we produced for the Burrs Spring Project! Proud of everyone. 

Perimeter Maths 

Treasure hunt in maths. Working nicely together to calculate different and tricky questions on measurements and Perimeter. Fabulous teamwork. 

Magnets Fun 

We’ve been exploring with magnets and materials that are magnetic and not. We’ve looked at the different poles and had lots of fun. 

World Book Day

Reviewing books and learning new words. We dressed up as a word and learnt from each other. 

We’ve been computing and gathering our own data and then presenting this as a spreadsheet and then bar charts and our charts. 

What did the Romans do for us? 

Our excited faces at our new visual literacy text all about Pompeii.

Check out our video of us sharing some of our amazing big writes from this. 

We’ve been hot seating and role playing with some of the survivors 

We’ve been designing our own Roman shields 

World Religions - Islam

We’ve been exploring and celebrating all about the Islamic faith. We’ve focused on the mosque mainly and how Muslims prepare for the mosque and prayer and the importance of this. 

Times Table Machine on the computers 

weve been practising our times tables through using spreadsheets. 

Our class Pentecost video as well explore fire and wind as an energy and what the disciples went through. 

We’ve been exploring the gifts of Pentecost 

We’ve been looking at the sun and it’s effects. We’ve just completed an experiment to explore whether the sun affects colour. We’ve also looked at the dangers of the sun and how to protect ourselves. We’ve also looked at the positives of it too. 

We’ve been role playing in guided reading. We acted out two opposite characters from the book Matilda.

Lots of fun in year 3 art club this week

Lots of fraction fun to revise our new knowledge by playing a board game. 

Rosary Procession and Crowning of Our Lady.

We joined the whole school in a Rosary Procession and then we spent some time crowning and praying to Our Lady.

Our Feast of Ascension Artwork 

Mindfulness 

Our first session in our mindfulness drama workshop. We focused on different emotions and how we display these. We then looked at ways to navigate these when we feel them. We then were introduced to our butterfly that tells us how great and wonderful each one of us is. 

Fun in our well-being drama intervention with a positive alley formed where the children walk through and are told nice things about each other by their peers.

Shadow Fun 

Lots of fun in year 3 shadow making today and learning all about light and opaque and transparent materials. We then took pictures of our shadows that we created and wrote about them.

It’s time to say goodbye to our reading buddy Wooly after he arrived when we started our Stone Age topic. First though it looks like he had a great last day with the children (these photos taken by them). We’ve had great fun thank you for coming to visit and read with us. 

We love to meditate in year 3

Coming Home 

Exciting morning in year 3 as a new reading buddy has flown in and landed in our classroom. He brought a note tucked under his wing and a book called ‘Coming Home’. We are excited to explore it.

Our performance poetry based around our new text.

We created a conscience alley looking at whether the little robin should go with the fisherman or not. 

Well what a beautiful surprise we started with just one little Robin reading buddy and now we have two! Our stunning text ‘Coming Home’ is all about a robin trying to find his way home and we find out his home is actually another robin rather than a place. It looks like since we’ve been writing our own poetry based on this text our little class robin has also found her way home and has been joined by a new little robin. Such a magical morning with lots of excited faces all ready to continue their wonderful writing today. 

Working Scientifically 

We’ve been creating our own greenhouses today and planting. We will do scientific observations now to see which plants grow as we learn about what plants need to grow successfully. 

OUR VEGETABLES ARE GROWING! 

We’ve been exploring maps and locations with our new 6 figure grid. 

Sports Week 

What makes the Earth so angry? 

Our fantastic school volcano trip. 

We’ve been learning about earthquakes we have learnt how to keep safe in an earthquake. We practised just like lots of children around the world have to that live in places that are high risk to having an earthquake. 

Lots of exciting home work being completed all about earthquakes, volcanoes and mountains. 

Our class artist Antoni Gaudi

Final piece mosaic afternoon after studying all about Gaudi. 

Some fantastic Design and Technology in year 3 this week as they complete their brief design of making a portable money container. Such impressive textile skills.
