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.
