Year 3

In Year 3 we always try to do our best.  We enjoy working and making progress.   We have been very busy learning to work with our friends and do our best at all times.  We take pride in our work and like to share our achievements with each other when we have done some impressive writing, painting or calculations.

We are always trying hard to earn matties for ourselves and for our tables.  We have been learning to work together as a team. We share with each other and have a great attitude to learning.

Our topic this term is ‘Ancient Explorers’.  We will be looking at what it was like to live during ancient times.  This will involve looking at why rivers were important for civilizations, what daily life was like in the Indus Valley or along the Nile. We are also looking at 'plants' in Science and the life cycle of plants and linking it to our main topic, talking about how the ancient explorers used plants.  In Healthy Schools week we will also be cooking some food from this area of the world...yum! yum!

We will be looking at 'printing' and producing some art pieces using different materials for our printing and experimenting with  the patterns made.

In English we are going to be writing stories with familiar settings, looking at a well known poems and performing poetry and producing an explanantion text about rivers.

We are going to be intriducing coding and algorithms in our Computing lesssons and linking it to a text we are reading in our topic lessons.  We may have some future computer programmers in our midst!

We have a busy term ahead!
