Hello,

Welcome back to St. Peter’s Catholic primary school! We hope you have all had a lovely Easter break and that your feel refreshed for the new Summer term…

This week, the children have been exploring, experimenting and investigating throughout their learning across the curriculum. In Maths, Year 3 have enjoyed learning about the properties of 2D and 3D shapes. Both classes have had many opportunities to explore shape through videos, songs and even card games including Top Trumps. The children were excited to work in teams to produce potato prints of 3D shapes – this helped them to study and compare the number of faces, edges and vertices of each 3D shape. Please see the photos below:

In Science, we have started our new topic called Light and Shadow. During the week, the children worked in groups to conduct an experiment and investigate which classroom materials were the best at blocking a path of light. We were very impressed by the scientific vocabulary used by the children as they were collecting their sets of results! Well done Year Three.

In English, the children have begun to explore their new Dragons topic by learning how to produce an informative blog post and newspaper article about a local dragon sighting! Having found a precious dragon’s egg within their classrooms and watched a series of news reports, Year 3 have confidently produced an informative and detailed account of the key events they witnessed.

We hope you all have a wonderful Bank Holiday weekend and look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday,

Miss Honeywell and Mr Austin
