As part of our science and DT topics we are going to being planting seeds this term, if you have any spare compost or flower pots that we could use it would be much appreciated.

Summer Term

Welcome back to our final term in Year 3. Over the summer term our topic is World War II, we will be finding out about what impact this had on the local area as well as the wider world. We are also going to be looking at how to help plants grow well, linking this with the 'Dig for Victory' campaign durig the war and it also ties in nicely with our DT project on making sandwiches. We are going to be growing some of our own salad ingredients for the sandwiches, so if you have any unwanted compost or flower pots these would be much appreciated.
Thank You
Year 3 Team

Our Week

We had a very busy week last week. In Literacy we are working on writimg our own Robin Hood plays so that we will be able to put on a show for other classes. We are working in grouips to create our own 'Robin Hood' stories, which we are going to turn into play scripts.
In Numeracy we have been learning how to draw graphs and how to interpret data from these.
In science we were finding what we needed in order to see, after an experiment involving a long cardboard tube and a mystery object we discovered that not only do we need our eyes and brain, but we also need light too.

Epping Forest

On Wednesday 9th March Year 3 had a fantastic day at Epping Forest Conservation Centre. We spent half the day living like Robin Hood learning survival skills and the other half finding out about soil and the creepy crawlies that live in it. We had to work in our 'tribes' to build shelters and use our special tribal calls to call each other for help. We also used materials found on the forest floor to create our own smelly smoothies, some of which smelt disgusting!! We had great fun digging about the forest floor trying to catch the minibeasts that live there and working together to identify what we had found -lots of worms and millipedes mainly.

Here are some pictures of us enjoying our day.
