We learned about road safety, water safety, hazards that are in the home, keeping safe online and much more!

Gadebridge Park - As part of Year 3’s Geography learning, the pupils took part in some fieldwork. Their research question was ‘How is our local park used?’ They completed tally charts, sketches and a questionnaire with members of the public. They noticed that the park is mainly used for walking and dog walking. Next week, the pupils are going to analyse their data and make posters to show their findings.

In Science our topic is plants. The pupils have been planting this week!

We had such a fantastic trip to Hudnall Park. We completed a lot of different art activities, including making sculptures in the woods, soil painting and colour mixing.

Our Art focus this term is ‘Growing Artists’. We have been learning how to enhance our work through, tone, shading and texture. We created this art by texture rubbing, using a variety of resources chosen from around the classroom.

For Roald Dahl Day we read ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ and it inspired us to invent our own sweets. The children then wrote a description of these. They did a fantastic job!

The children have made such a great start to Year 3! It has been lovely to get to know them all and they have settled into the new term nicely. We are looking forward to a fantastic year of learning!
