This afternoon Year 3 welcomed Alison from Dogs Trust who delivered some very interesting workshops all about how children should act around dogs they might come into contact with out in public as well as some very interesting tips about how to look after their own dogs. The children all listened really carefully and shared some fantastic ideas.

As part of our ‘Rocks’ topic in science we have been learning all about fossils which the children have really enjoyed. They have found out all about Mary Anning – the greatest ever fossil hunter and learned about the two different types of fossil – trace and body. They have especially enjoyed making their own fossils.

This week in literacy we started looking at non-chronological reports. We had a great lesson identifying and finding the features and the children are all really looking forward to writing their own next week!

We had a very busy week in year 3:

In Science we were learning about seed dispersal and all the different ways this can happen. We made our own sycamore seeds and tested how they work.

In Numeracy we were learning all about capacity so had a lovely practical lesson outside estimating and testing the capacity of different containers.

Congratulations to Year 3 again for receiving the most lunchtime points during the week, they have definitely been showing all of our school values and their treat was well deserved!

With the weather being so warm there was only one thing for it…..ice lollies in the shade!

Year 3 were very excited to have been awarded the most lunchtime points this week, they thought very carefully about a treat that they would all enjoy and eventually decided on an extra play on the adventure playground and no homework this week!

Well done Year 3, very well deserved. 😁
