Year 3 - Spring 2- Week 5

We have had a wonderfully busy and exciting week in Year 3!

In RE, the children explored different moments from the Easter story and used these to inspire their own thoughtful prayers. We focused on thanking God for what we have and reflecting on the values we can learn from these events, such as trust, gratitude, and hope.

In Maths, we continued our work on fractions. The children learned about halves and quarters and spent time exploring what we mean by the whole. They enjoyed using practical resources to help deepen their understanding.

In English, we began planning our very own fact leaflets all about saving the whales. The class have been working hard to include the key features of an information text, such as clear headings and subheadings, emotive language, and interesting facts to persuade readers to help protect these wonderful animals.

In Geography, we looked closely at the Nile Delta, focusing on the area around Alexandria. The children then wrote fantastic diary entries from the perspective of an imaginary holiday there, describing the weather, landscape and exciting things they ‘did’ on their travels!

We also enjoyed a fantastic trip to Mere Sands Wood. During our visit, the children took part in a guided tour, searched for mini beasts and were thrilled to discover frogs hiding in the undergrowth. They used binoculars to spot local birdlife and finished the afternoon by building tiny forest homes for a leprechaun in celebration of St Patrick’s Day!

Finally, on Friday we marked Red Nose Day by discussing why the day is so important and how the money raised helps others around the world.
