To finish of all of our Roman learning, we had a Roman day were we dressed as Roman. We had chance to look at artefacts from the Roman times and a life size suit of armour which was made by Josh who works at Buster Ancient Farm. Some children brought in items that they had at home, one of these items was a game called ‘Bears’. In the morning we practiced our Roman numeral skills by cracking a colouring code and shared the Boudicca we have been working so hard on in English we each other. After lunch, we used coloured paper to create beautiful mosaic patterns. Finally we practiced our Roman roar. What a way to end our Roman topic!

On Monday 7th July, we shared what we have been learning over the summer term during our music lesson in the form of a concert to our parent. We had singing, ensemble playing and even a duet from children in Lion class.

On Friday afternoon, we shared our home learning about different cultures from around the world. Some of us shared information about our own cultures and others found out about a culture different from their own. We tried a variety of foods from around the world, banana chips being one of the favourites!

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.

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.
