Welcome to 3R.

We have a lively and creative class, where you will find Ms. Rice and Mrs. Hobart. On some days you will also see Miss Sherrington and Mr. Sorrell, who teaches PE and Computing.

PE is on a Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. Please make sure you have your full PE kit, labelled with your name, on those days.

We love to read in 3R! We encourage the children to read every night and we are in competition with 3B to win the reading challenge cake at the end of term. So, keep reading 3R!

Welcome back to 3R after a wonderful Christmas break.

Our theme this half term has a STEAM focus:

May The Force Be With You!

We will be learning about the forces around us using our skills in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths.

We have made a great start by exploring how toys move with different forces, painting using force and investigating which material is best for a toy car to travel on.

Take a look at some of the things we’ve been up to…

Last half term we learnt about light. At Christmas, we made a shadow puppet play of the Nativity.

Before Christmas, we has a Design and Technology Week. In Year Three, we learnt how to sew using different stitches on Binka. We then made stitched pictures based on Vincent van Gough’s Starry Night for our calendars.

In the Autumn term our theme was

Stone Age to Bronze Age.

We developed our skills as Historians to find out how people lived in pre-historical times.

Take a look at some of the things we learnt…

Last week we had a visitor from the Ruskin Collection at Lancaster University. She taught us about Ruskin’s life as an artist and showed us how to notice the world around us by drawing. We made sketchbooks, which we filled with drawings of interesting natural objects. She showed us how to make imprints of leaves in clay, so we could notice the shapes and textures.
