Welcome to our Year 3 class Blog Year 3 is a very exciting year for our children, as it marks the transition from Key stage one to Key stage two. During this year, children are encouraged to be independent thinkers with growing responsibilities. This page is a showcase for the fantastic things we do in Year 3 including our Religious Sacrament-First confession. Below you will find key information including; topic leaflets, knowledge organisers, homework menus and weekly spellings. Enjoy!
|
Key information The children now have homework packs. These will be sent home on a Tuesday and need to be handed in the following Monday. Spellings will be taught on a Monday and tested on a Friday.
If you were unable to attend the Parents meeting at the beginning of term, please find the PowerPoints below and some key expectations with all the key information. |

|
|
Year 3; from scooting with Leeds City Council to National Fitness Day and our singing lessons with Cathedral Choir- there is so much to look forward to!|
Ancient Egypt Our main theme this half term is all about the wonders of Ancient Egypt. We are going to be taking on the role of archaeologists in history to discover the treasures left in the pyramids and investigate what they teach us about how ancient Egyptians lived.
In our writing lessons, we will be historians, documenting our findings and knowledge in a non-chronological report.

Reading in Year 3 In Year 3 , children will enjoy every day reading in an afternoon. This will include partner reading, whole class reading or reading to themselves. This term, our class book is Fantastic Mr. Fox, a story about a clever fox! |
Art
This term, children have been looking at in Henry Moore in their Art lessons. The children have experimented with light sketching to emulate Moore's style of abstract art. They have done a wonderful job and have enjoyed looking at tones and shades when sketching.

SNOW DAY ACTIVITIES
Snow Days offer a wonderful opportunity for the children to get outside and be physically active whilst exploring this beautiful and interesting weather phenomenon in all sorts of ways; as scientists, as artists, as geographers ...and as children.
As teachers, we have made the decision to embrace this as a wonderful opportunity for home learning when the children cannot safely come into school. Please find below, all sorts of ideas for learning activities that the children can do which are linked to the snow.
We have decided not to organise these under age-related headings. All of the activities are good fun and most are 'open-ended' enough that the children can explore them at the level which suits them.
BUBBLES IN THE SNOW
Even if it is not that cold, the bubbles will stay for a while on the cold snow.
It is easy to make your own bubble mixture with washing-up liquid and water!
You could have 'races' to see whose bubble lasts the longest without popping. Or you could take som photos of your bubbles sitting on the snow.
