Year 3 are learning all about tennis in their PE lessons this half term. Today, there were lots of concentrated faces as we practised balancing the ball on our rackets and keeping things under control with some keepy-uppies! Well done, everyone 🙂
We kicked science week off with an experiment to prove that light travels in straight lines. We used three pieces of card and made a hole in each before shining a torch through the hole. We knew that light must travel in straight lines because we could only see the light when all three holes lined up perfectly.
To prove this further, we then moved the middle card and tried to shine the torch through it again. We could no longer see the light from the torch as the light was unable to bend around the middle card.
Keep a look out on the blog this week for what we will be getting up to in our science weeks. We are planning to inspire the children with scientific experiments and visitors with scientific professions! We are very excited to see what the children know already and what they learn!

This afternoon we made the most of the lovely weather by taking our maths lesson outside!
Some wonderful costumes on show today in Class 9. Well done to everyone!
Reading for pleasure!
Matilda, Penny, Millie and Jelly have been sharing their reading books with the rest of the class!
This week, Year 3 took on a new challenge in XP Outdoors learning how to use knives safely. With careful guidance, they practiced basic carving techniques while following important safety rules.
Here are this week’s spellings for you to practise at home: https://drive.google.com/file/d/16nAEW6tFgQMs0AWe9Q_7YSCd02xzlrL9/view?usp=sharing
During the recent half term, Arnie has been working on acts of kindness. Arnie has donated his old blankets to the Salvation Army and also become a volunteer at his local Cats Protection Charity.
Arnie has also shown kindness by teaching his younger sister to draw, which by all accounts has really tested his ability to stay patient! Well done Arnie!
So far we have looked at what geography is, how the earth is structured and how the earth crust is divided and what it’s made up of. To do so we have made an all about geography poster, made a model of the earth’s layers and recreated the earth’s crust diagram. All of which have been fabulous and of lovely quality! Well done Geographers!!
