As we finish the first half term together in year 3, it’s time to reflect on how hard you have worked and the progress you have made since September. I am so proud of all of the learning you have done so far. Here are some photos to share of this.

It’s been a very active half term. At the beginning of term we were lucky enough to have a visitor to show us some skateboarding skills. We were brilliant and really resilient when it was a bit tricky. In PE Ash class have been completing multi skills tasks and building their co-ordination and balance. Here are some photos of us playing ‘Dress the clown’ and practicing throwing and stopping in pairs. In Commando Joe we had to show reciprocity to work together to create and guide each other through obstacle courses.

Our Topic learning this term has been really exciting, with a focus on the Stone Age. We made Stonehenge from play dough to represent all of the different types of rocks and wowed Kat and Zoe at Butser Ancient farm with our knowledge. We also got to do some archaeology, jewellery making, chalk carving and wattling in teams. ating our own Las Caux cave paintings. We worked outside using similar resources to the Stone Age people, drew our designs on clay and then painted them really carefully.

In Maths we have focussed on place value and begun to look at column addition and subtraction, using resources such as place value counters to help us.
