We have had a fantastic week in Year 3 with the highlight of the week being our trip to Celtic Harmony, to experience life in the Stone Age.  

A special thank you again to Eryk, Giana, Jacob and Sylvie’s mums who kindly accompanied us on this trip.

In English, we have been working hard on drafting our own stories that incorporate the focus toolkits for this half term. Next week we will be editing and writing these up in our publishing books.

In Maths, we have been focusing on adding and subtracting 1, 10 and 100’s from a 3-digit number, while also making links between our new topic and what we have previously learnt in our place value unit.  Next week we will be exploring adding across a 10 and 100.

For our foundation subjects we have explored the following topics:

History – Trip to Celtic Harmony and completing an evaluation of this trip allowing us to reflect on everything that we have learnt.

Art – Completed our step on exploring cave art from around the world looking at similarities and differences.  

Science – We shone a light on Mary Anning, who was a famous English palaeontologist and used a light paint wash to give our clay fossil imprints a finishing touch.

Home Learning
