On this page you will find all the News from Years 3.
This week Year 3 enjoyed their personal bests challenges! We were very proud of how hard everyone worked and how supportive each team was for each other. Our new book, 'Dear Earth' has really inspired us to start thinking about how beautiful our planet truly is and how humans are starting to change it!
This week in Year 3 we have been completing our termly booklets and everyone has worked so hard to demonstrate all the fantastic learning and progress that they have made this week. The children have continued looking at 3D structures in Art, starting to consider the shapes that we can see in a structure and how we might be able to make this.
This week the children have started to learn about our local area and the borough of Sutton, many of us were shocked at just how large a population it has. Every week the children have been taking part in their Spanish lessons and it is amazing to hear how confident they now are in talking about their likes and dislikes as well as when their birthday's are! We started an experiment in Science about which recycled materials make the best plant pots and are eagerly waiting to see our plants grow.
What a brilliant start to the new half term! Year 3 have all come back focused and ready to learn for our final half term. We have started a new writing unit where we will be looking at writing a biography about William Kamkwamba; the children have been amazed at his resilience and determination. Our new Art unit on 3D sculptures interested everyone and we had a great discussion about whether Robert Morris's installation Bodyspacemotionthings at the Tate Modern counted as Art!
