Excavation day!

We had such a great day today.
Year Three started off by creating their own number systems in Maths. These were based on symbols which have been discovered in caves and believed to be an early number system. The activity required some imagination and lots of place value knowledge!

Year Three then headed into the art room, where they worked hard to create some cave art to display in our classroom. They used a mixture of chalk, charcoal and oil pastel to create texture and detail.

The fun didn't end there! In the afternoon, Year Three ventured to the Science area and with magnifying glasses and paint brushes in hand, they worked in teams to find, sort and identify different rocks.

What a discovery!

We will be starting a new, very exciting text about a famous discovery!

The book is called Stone Girl, Bone Girl.

Who is the Stone Girl?

What will she find?

What made her so famous?

End of topic celebration!

Thank you to everyone who came to enjoy our end of topic celebration.
Year Three proudly shared their topic work and the Mexico chapter books which they have created.
I hope that everyone enjoyed the Mexican music and tasty treats!
Muchas Gracias!!

Year 3 had lots of fun helping out with the One Tree Per Child project. Every child has now planted a tree in Kings Weston. Here are some pictures of the children hard at work.

Science week

As part of Science week, we explored our fantastic new Science area. We agreed as a class that we would like to attract some more wildlife so we designed and created bird feeders. Lets hope the birds love our new Science area as much as we do!

Mexican Bake off!

We have been having lots of fun in Year 3!
In class, we have been busy learning all about Mexico and in the afternoons, we have been busy making traditional Mexican sweet and savoury food with Miss Manka.
Here are some photos of our baked goods.
