On behalf of Mrs Green, Mrs Lacey and myself, I would just like to say a massive thank you to the children and families of year 3 for all your generosity and kind words at the end of term. It has been a year of hard work, but lots of fun too (I hope the children agree!) and one that we are sad to see finish.
Have a wonderful summer and I look forward to waving at everyone as they walk passed the classroom on the way to year 4.

SCIENCE
In Hansel & Gretel base, we've been making the most of the sunshine. As part of our topic, we took our lesson outside to try and work out how we might be able to tell the time, without looking at a clock. Here we are discovering how our shadows alter as the position of the sun changes.

MUSIC/ICT
Continuing with our beach party theme, this week, year 3 have been exploring what music is good for a party and why. We decided that a heavy base line, a fast pace and a tune that sticks in your head is what's needed!
So, we have tried to create our own beach party music using ICT software to help us. Here is a couple of examples of our work which definitely have a bit of a rock vibe going on!

NUMERACY - Creative Maths Week.
Last week, we linked our numeracy work with our topic 'Life's a beach' The children had to plan what food they wanted to have at our beach party. They then had to research online the cost of the food, making sure that they didn't over spend, as they were limited to a budget of £10.00. If they did, then they had to decide what they would sacrifice! The next step is to see how much they can actually buy for their money. The children worked really hard, working with money and decimals, comparing prices and then using their written methods to add and subtract.
LITERACY & TOPIC
In literacy, we have been creating playscripts for our own Punch and Judy style puppet shows. We are nearly finished and are looking forward to sharing them in assembly this week. We've also made our own puppets, having learnt to use a blanket stitch.
A big thank you to Sam Thomas who has made us our own puppet theatre. We can't wait to make use of it.

Oops! Ben realises he's sewn his puppet to his shorts!  |

Arts week - 3D model making
For arts week, we have been developing our skills of working with papier mache. The children's remit was to create a work of art using Mount Everest as their inspiration. They needed to consider what features of a mountain they would include such as glaciers, crevasses, cliff faces and base camp areas.
Here are some pictures of our class at work, having moved our classroom outdoors. Do keep an eye on the blog for the finished master pieces!
