Our Enrichment & Learning Experiences

In Year 3 we have been looking at river's and exploring water pollution as part of our enrichment week. For our English we were inspired by the journey of a raindrop. Every child had the same start point but from there they were given creative freedom. Some of our raindrops had glorious, magnificent routes through the Amazon rivers, others took a dark, dingy route through the sewers. We hope you enjoy listening to some of our children read their creations out loud.

We experimented using Chrome music Lab to create our own rhythms. Once we were happy with our rhythm we used a variety of percussion instruments to add our own improvisations. Finally, the children were given the opportunity to perform their tunes to the class.

The child thoroughly enjoyed bridging the technological and the traditional.

Year 3 Stone Age History

Term 3

Roman Shields:

Year 3 has been learning all about the Romans. To celebrate our learning we finished the term with an exciting, action-packed Roman day, where we not only constructed our own shields but then used them to re-enact Roman battle formations such as the testudo and tortoise formations.

Mirrors:

In science we have been exploring light and shadows. Reflection has been a key them discussed in our learning. As such, year 3 have completed a cross-curricular project to create their own mirrors. We began by planning out how we would attach our mirrors, once made, to their frames and how we would make them stand up. Then, we took inspiration from our Roman learning and designed our mosaic patterns to decorate the frame. Finally, the children were able to bring their designs to life!
