Reading

We absolutely love reading across our school and in Year 3 we have been exploring a huge range of books and genres. Take a look at some of our fantastic readers.

Drumming

In Year 3, each class is lucky enough to receive 12 weeks of Djembe Drumming lessons from Rotherham Music. The children learn to create a range of rhythms and to drum along to songs.

Science Day

As part of British Science Week, under the theme of ‘time’ we revisited our learning on fossils and made our own fossils using candy floss and dog bones! We were also lucky enough to visit the space dome and see space and the planets in an immersive experience.

Art

In Art, we have focused on developing our painting skills this year. We have learnt about primary, secondary and tertiary colours and used colour mixing to create our own colour wheels.

 

Chinese Dragon Dancing

In celebration of Chinese New Year, we were lucky enough to take part in Chinese Dragon dancing. We learnt about some Chinese traditions and danced with props such as parasols and fans as well as the dragon.

History Day 2024

As part of History Day we immersed ourselves from the Stone Age to the Iron Age. We created some Celtic knots using our initials and learnt about the local history of Thurcroft, focusing on mining.

South Yorkshire Fire Safety

South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue visited Year Three to talk to them about fire safety and road safety. The children learnt about how to stay safe in the event of a fire, the dangers of matches and lighters, the importance of smoke detectors and how to stay safe when travelling by car. The children showed lots of important knowledge and were so engaged and enthusiastic!

 

Stone Age Workshop

Year Three had a fantastic time on the Stone Age workshop. They took part in cave painting, hunting, looking at animal bones and creating Stone Age spears.

PE

Year 3 have loved their PE lessons this year and have particularly enjoyed Matball where they have been practicing throwing, catching and moving into space. We then used these skills to compete in an academy Matball tournament where all the children showed great teamwork, resilience and sportsmanship.

Keep checking back on our Y3 page as we will be sharing lots of photographs showcasing our amazing learning.
