Year 3 have had a great week of learning and have become intelligent investigators, geological experts and portrait artists.
Art
We completed our global changemaker portraits and couldn't wait to put them on display! They are all fantastically unique and demonstrate skills of sketching, painting, colour mixing and understanding facial proportions. Great work everyone, they look amazing!
Writing
Our year three writing text is based upon the novel "The incredible book-eating boy". This has been a great start to our writing units as the children love the concept of this book and we even found a suitcase filled with nibbled pages and gobbled corners. We love that the children use the skills within the lesson to inspire their writing and contribute towards an epic whole class model.
Topic/Geography
Our topic this term is Egypt and we have explored continents and replayed their favourite year 2 song! We have used maps to identify the northern and southern hemispheres as well as understanding what an equator is. Our knowledge of maps helped us to recognise the hot, dry and barren climate of Egypt and its desert biomes that many creatures find difficult to live in if it weren't for the amazing River Nile. We can't wait to learn more!
Maths
In maths, we have become Rekenrek super stars. We used this key mathematical tool to help us revise our number bonds to 10 and 20. Then we began to bridge over ten and use the Rekenrek to recognise how numbers can be partitioned differently to help make our sums easier to work out!
In year 3, we love to see great spelling. Each week we practice a different sound pattern or skill and practice sounding them out, spelling them and then using them within a sentence. Here are some pictures of us practicing some key words with O spelling but U sound.
