In science this term, Year 3 enjoyed investigating and classifying different types of rocks based on their properties. The children examined natural rocks closely and tested their durability and permeability.
River Thames workshop (16.11.21)
This term, Year 3 took part in a River Thames workshop which involved working with experts from the Thames Explorer Trust. The children enjoyed learning about the features of the River Thames and how the river has changed over time. They also learnt about river ports and how cargo is transported to the UK from different parts of the world.

Following the workshop 3C, 3D, 3R visited the Museum of London Docklands and walked down to the River Thames to search for artefacts on the foreshore. The children then predicted what they had found and what year it might have been from. We were very impressed with their knowledge and enthusiasm.

DT (14th December 2020)
Year 3 have been learning about the importance of Fairtrade and have been baking their own gingerbread using Fairtrade products. Take a look at our pictures below.
Science (1.12.20)
As part of our 'light' topic, we have been investigating shadows and how they change in size. Unfortunately, the weather was not on our side! So we were unable to complete our investigation this week- we hope to continue next week!
Fancy dress day! (27.11.20)
We loved seeing the children in their fancy dress costumes and we were so impressed with their effort.
Geography (20.11.20)
This week in geography, we continued our work on rivers by studying the journey of the River Thames. We identified and labelled the key features of the river such as the river source, mouth, estuary and meander. We then enjoyed learning about the towns and cities that the River Thames flows through.
Science (20.11.20)
This week in science, Tom from our text 'The Great Explorer' needed our help! We investigated what material would be the best for his curtains in his igloo, so that no light would be let in. We tested different materials using a torch to see whether it was opaque, translucent or transparent.
English (12.10.20)
We have come to the end of another busy week in Year 3! We have now started our class text 'The Great Explorer' written by Chris Judge. As part of the story, we have been debating whether Tom should travel to the North Pole to rescue his dad. We have also explored his thoughts and emotions through drama using the 'show not tell' technique.

In preparation for sports day next week, the children have been practising the shot putt. Due to the weather, we were unable to use the field. Fingers crossed for a sunny day next Wednesday!
Science (12.10.20)
This week, we have been investigating how light travels from a light source. We have used mirrors to help us reflect light and then drew diagrams of our experiment. Take a look at our pictures below!
For National Poetry Day, Year 3 have been learning the poem 'Constellation of stars' written by Zala Ejaz. We have adapted the poem to create our own version using juicy adjectives and powerful verbs. We then rehearsed and performed our poem in class. Click on the intitals below to watch performances from each class.
This week, Year 3 have been reading Thankyou letters to the NHS and have been learning about their features. We have created our own success criteria to help us plan and write a letter to Planet Earth based on the story ‘Here We Are’ by Oliver Jeffers.
Year 3 have been sharing their positive memories about the current school year. We have designed our own t-shirt on paper that reflects these moments on the back and what we are looking forward to this year on the front.
