Week 3: 4th May

/0 Comments/in , /by

Another week in which we have seen and experienced all seasons!

The children have been working hard on their final newspaper stories about the Road to Emmaus. In RE we have been looking at the four gospels and the various accounts of the resurrection. The children will be finding out more about the story of Pentecost next week. In Science the children recorded their final ‘egg’ observations and have begun their new topic on Habitats, investigating the school environment and the habitats within it.

In Tennis the children learnt some indoor tennis skills as the rain kept them away from learning outside.

Year 3 have been very creative this week. In art they have been sketching animal eyes – they have then used their sketches to design dragon eyes. It has been wonderful to see their designs develop. Next week they will be finishing their canvas paintings ready for the Potters Bar art exhibition.

In maths the children have been using their measuring skills to investigate the length of different objects and solve measurement problems and we are looking forward to sharing our Road to Emmaus newspapers with you soon.

In D & T the children have been designing their very our bug hotels, with the help of both myself and Mrs Burgess from Stormont School. This week they started to make mock hotels, experimenting with materials and designs. They were very creative and worked really well in pairs to use the hand drills and saws.

In science, we moved on to looking at thermal insulators. We ran another comparative fair test where we tried to keep a cup of liquid warm by insulating it with various materials. We create line graphs to present our findings.
