Our topic for the Spring term is...

Some creative and fun activities to do with our topic for this half term can be found HERE.
Our Spring Term curriculum overview can also be found HERE.
Here are some fun websites/video clips for you to watch if you would like to learn more about your topic:
Ancient Egyptian Fantastic Finish
To celebrate the end of our Ancient Egyptian topic we choreographed, rehearsed and performed an Egyptian dance to Year 4 and really enjoyed working together as a class team!
Year 3 really enjoyed our annual trip to St Richard's Church to take part in their magical, interactive, Christmas Trail to celebrate the Nativity story.
The organisers describe the trail as the following:
“The trail begins by sneaking into a typical family scene on Christmas Eve, puzzling over the disappearance of a young couple called Mary and Joseph, exploring the observatory of three missing kings, snuggling up in shepherds’ blankets by a smouldering fire, and if you dare... knocking on the Innkeeper’s door!”
Christmas Sandwich
In Design and Technology week this half term, Year 3 designed, researched, made and evaluated a nutritious Christmas Sandwich to enable us to have a cross-curricular link with the ‘Eatwell Plate’ from our Science lessons and explore our DT focus of a ‘Healthy and Varied Diet’.
For our Outdoor Learning day this half term we created Egyptian medallions using different tools and decorated them with hieroglyphics. We also created Egyptian collars using leaves.
Our next topic for this Autumn term is...
This topic will explore this amazing time in history and we will learn about Ancient Egyptian culture, their belief's, mummies, hieroglyphics and artefacts.

As part of Design and Technology week, Year 3 designed, researched, made out of cardboard and evaluated a Stone Age Box of Treasures to enable us to have a cross-curricular link with our History topic and explore our DT focus of ‘Shell Structures’ for this half term.
After making our Stone Age box of Treasures, the class then went outside to forage for items that would have been seen as treasures in the Stone Age, such as interesting-shaped leaves, stones and berries to put inside of their box.
Thank you so much to everyone who came into Year 3 this week and participated in our learning. The children really enjoyed making their French Grandparents cards with you and it was lovely to see all of the Grandparents join in.
Our topic for the Autumn Term is...
THE STONE AGE!
Please click HERE to look at our topic overview, explaining what we will be learning about this term in St George's class.
Our Stunning Start for this topic was a fun day of Stone Age-based activities where we all wore colours of the Stone Age or dressed up as a Stone Age person.
We made our own Stone Age bowls out of salt dough, created a traditional Stone Age dessert using berries, oats and honey which was delicious! We built our own cave out of branches and leaves and constructed traditional tools out of paper!
