Today in humanities, we looked at bridges we had seen in our local area. We also looked at some aerial views/maps and discussed how we can identify a bridge. We saw that bridges come in many different designs and we thought about why this may be. As time has passed, the need for stronger bridges…

We made some of our own bridges using only newspaper and masking tape. We thought about what we had already learned and used this to help us try and make the strongest bridge.

Today in RE we were learning about the story of Moses and how Moses was chosen by God. We learned how his mother put him in a basket and pushed him down the river to stop him from being killed by the King of Egypt. He was found by the princess and grew up in the palace. Eventually, Moses left…

Today in Collective Worship we were looking at Mary and learning about the significance of the Rosary. We talked about Mary and why she was so special, then we learned how Rosary beads can be used to help us focus our minds on prayer, and as we are praying we can think of Mary and Jesus. The…

Today in maths, we have been learning to add 2, two-digit numbers. We used counters to help us practically work this out, thinking about which numbers needed to go in the tens column and which needed to go in the one's column. We all worked super hard and produced some incredible…

Today in science we had to find out how the shape of solid objects made from some materials can be changed by squashing, twisting, bending, and stretching. We first made some predictions, without touching any of the objects as to whether we thought we could change their shape. We then worked in…

In PE, we have been focusing on balancing and coordination. Working around a circuit, we moved around attempting different balancing and coordination activities. 

In Science this week, we learnt about how shadows are formed. We used torches and different objects to create shadows on the wall. We observed how moving the torch far away from the object or nearer changed the shape of size of the shadow. We learnt about protecting our eyes from the sun and…

In our Humanities lesson we learnt all about the Ancient Greece Olympics and how it has impacted us today. We learnt about how our Olympics is different now in comparison to where it originated from. We carried out our own Olympic events including chariot racing with toy cars, discus with…

To celebrate Saint Francis day, Year 3 discussed why Saint Francis is important and reminded ourselves what he did. We created a stained glass window with different coloured paper and coloured in Saint Francis before sticking them together. 

In maths this week, we've been recognising different types of angles, including acute, obtuse, right angle and reflex. We've looked at the properties of these angles, compared and ordered them and used a protractor to measure and draw angles ourselves. We've worked so hard and grown in confidence…

Today we have been looking at Harvest Festival in our Collective Worship. We learned that we need to be thankful for a successful harvest, by appreciating the food we eat. We considered how we can help those who are less fortunate during harvest, such as by donating food to a food bank. To help us…
