Autumn Term

Our first geography topic of Year 3 was Isles of Wonder. We kicked off our learning with a day of Queens and Kings, traditional scones with jam and cream, the learning of the National Anthem and a toast to the new King. We looked at the physical and human geography of the British Isles and compared Evesham to Edinburgh.

Our first history topic of Year 3 was all about the Stone Age. We started off the topic being 'history detectives' to discover what Prehistoric times were like and where they sit on a timeline.

In English, we have linked our writing to our topics and have used high-quality texts to inspire us to write in a range of genres: stories, non-chronological reports, poems and dairy entries. Some of the texts we have read include George and the dragon, Finn MacCool and Stone Age Boy

In maths, we have developed our understanding of place value, addition and subtraction and started to explore multiplication and division. We also competed in a TT Rockstars competition which 3SE won!

In RE, we have learnt about what Christians learn from the Creation Story and how festivals and family life show what matters to Jewish people.

In our science lessons, we have been looking at the Forces and Magnets and Healthy Eating and Food Chains.

In ICT we have been learning all about Online Safety and how to touch type.

We have also enjoyed our learning in PE, art, French, music and PSHE.

A Visit from an Olympian

On Tuesday 13th July, Year 3 were lucky enough to take part in a question and answer Zoom with Olympic diver, Yona Knight-Wisdom.

Yona told us all about his training routine, what inspired him to become a diver and what it felt like to be part of the Olympics.

He discussed his values and commitment around sport and we discovered just how hard athletes have to work to be the best they can be. We learned that it takes resilience, determination and perseverance to succeed. Yona said that he never sees failure when things don’t go his way, only opportunities to learn. These are all valuable lessons we can use in our own lives – Thank you Yona! It was a truly inspirational afternoon.

Ancient Greek Day

Today we have been visited by Portals of the Past again and have taken part in a Greek quiz, played an Ancient Greek board game and worked in teams to put together an Archimedes puzzle which contained different triangles that needed to be put together to create an enormous rectangle.

The children wowed us with their Greek knowledge and also the effort that had been put into their costumes - thank you so much to parents! We have been mesmorised by Medusa's, dazzled by Greek Gods and Godesses and even had a Minotaur for the day!

At the start of our history topic about the Ancient Greeks we looked at a time line and ordered the historical events chronologically, then we placed the Ancient Greeks where we thought they occurred in history.

Geography

We have been learning what a compass is and what it is used for. We took our learning outside and used a compass to follow and give directions to our partner.

We have been orienteering! We used our compass and map to help us follow the directions to find the Bee related questions. We used all the knowledge we’ve learned about bees to then answers the questions. It was so much fun!

Science

In science we have been looking at the parts of plants and their functions. We carried out an experiment to test whether liquid is transported through the stem of a plant. We proved that it is by using red ink and turning white carnations pink.
