Literacy
As part of our Literacy lessons we have been writing Newspaper reports based on the story 'Lost' where a polar bear ends up lost in London and eager to return home. We took our own spin on this story and wrote articles about his return home ensuring we included quotes from animal experts. Check them out below.

In Art, we have been learning techniques to shade in different ways to create light and dark. We practised first and then used our skills to shade our Iron Age Roundhouses.
In Gymnastics we have been learning a routine made of different moves. We learnt to forward roll and cartwheel and hold balances. We made sure that we transitioned smoothly from one movement to the next.
This term, Year 3 have been enjoying the great outdoors at Forest School. They have used a 'dragon sneezer' to make fire and made bird feeders. In line with our Iron Age topic, the children made spears and axes! In our last session, the children enjoyed toasting marshmallows over the fire to make s'mores. They were delicious!
Class 3 did our Class Assembly! We were amazing! Here are our slides! We have learnt so much!
Year 3 explored the wild and the importance of shelters last term! We used our Forest school are and built shelters from materials we could find!
