Year 3
Welcome to Year 3!
Welcome to Year 3 2024-2025 with Mrs Koscieska.
Learning News
Science - Rocks and Minerals
In Science this half term we have been exploring rocks and fossils. We have explored the properties of rocks including their uses and permiability. We then created our own fossils to understand how they are created and what we can learn from them.
Bringing Literacy to Life
Year 3 have been exploring the story 'The Bear and The Piano'. The children loved this book and imagined how they would feel themselves if they were a character in the story. The children took part in hot seating activities using their favourite toy as a stimulus to practice their oracy skills!
2023-2024
What we are learning
Design Technology
As part of our design and technology curriculum year 3 have been learning to sew in DT week! The children were challenged to create a keyring, they started at the design stage thinking about form, function and aesthetics. They then moved on to making their designs, learning how to thread needles and stitch. Finally they evaluated their makes against their planned designs!
Stone Age Day
This half term we have been learning about the Stone Age! We loved reading the story 'The Stone Age Boy' and wrote our own versions of the story. At the end of the half term we celebrated all the things we had learnt with a 'Stone Age Day'. It was a fantastic day putting all the information we had learnt about how people lived and survived in the stone age into practice.
Dogs Trust
We had a fantastic morning with The Dogs Trust this week. We learnt all about how to safely approach and handle dogs. We discussed what it is to be a responsible dog owner and then got to practice new skills and ask lots of questions.
