Last week, we celebrated diversity week at St Peter’s and in Year 3 we were focusing on how other faiths pray. We spoke about how and where both the Jewish faith and Hindu prayed as well as who they pray to. As part of our learning about Hinduism we created our own Mendhi hands really focusing on the fine details.

Before Christmas, we were working really hard on creating different types of animations in computing and wanted to share some of our creations with you.

It has been so lovely to be back from the Christmas hoildays and learning again.

We have started our Geography all about Peru and other biomes around the world. We are sending some homework for the children to do to help with this learning. It’s all about being prepared for different biomes. Which one are you more prepared for? Fitting with this topic of Peru, Mrs Pearson has been working with us and Paddington bear during our art lessons.

As time flies by in Year 3, we are learning to tell the time so why don’t you quiz us about what the time is.

We can’t wait to share all that we will be creating this half term.

Year 3 Team

Over the last few weeks in Year 3, we have been learning about the story of Pentecost. We have took part in some role play to retell the story and created freeze frames for the parts we thought were the most important.

We have also been thinking and talking about where we can see the Holy Spirit in our lives, this was part of the homework we did over the May half term as well.

We hope you can see us spreading the Holy Spirit and good news just like the Apostles!

We have had lots of fun in Year 3 over the last term including World Book Day, Inter-house football competition and learning about other faiths.

As well as having fun we have worked really hard on learning the column method, using speech in our writing and understanding fractions.

Hope you all have a lovely Easter holiday!

As some of you may know, on Friday 19th January Year 3 made flapjacks as part of their Design Technology topic this half term. This helped us work on our weighing skills and ensured that we were cutting the dried fruit safely using the bridge method.

We hope that you got the chance to taste and enjoy our flapjacks.

Very unexpectedly THE GRINCH not only came with a prize for us but he also ran with us during our Santa dash this morning.

We have been writing letters back to him after receiving his nasty letter to us…

We are trying our best to convince him that Christmas is in fact the best time of year.

He threw a prize at us this morning, whoever can be the most persuasive in their letter will win the toy!

As you may have heard, we have practiced a lot of our times tables this week through songs-

Here are some links to our favourites-

Hello and welcome to a new academic year! We are so excited to start learning with you all and making memories.
