Our Visit to the Mary Grotto

On Tuesday, after a morning of maths assessments, we were treated to a very special class worship prepared by a group of Year 3 girls.  As part of this, the girls led us to the grotto where we sang 'As I Kneel Before You' together.  It was a lovely experience to end May, the Month of Mary.

Brass Introduction

We've been introduced to some of the brass instruments that Year 3 could learn to play from September and had lots of fun blowing raspberries in the process!

Running Wild!

In PE we've been developing our running technique with work on our starts and pacing strategies.

Our Creatures are Coming to Life!

This week Year 3 have begun decorating their creatures with acrylic paints to create vibrant rainforest colours.

Throwing in PE!

In PE we have been working on our throwing skills.
In athletics lessons we have been developing our distance throws.

 While in cricket lessons we have bee developing the accuracy of our throwing and catching skills when fielding.

Constructing our Creatures!

Year 3 have worked on hard on their Rainforests topic this week, developing their recount writing in Literacy and beginning to put their creatures together in DT.  

Can you work out what these three will become?

Pneumatic Systems!

This week Year 3 have investigated pneumatic systems in D.T.  

 They have gone on to design how their systems will make their creatures move, along with what their creature will look like.  Watch this space for developing designs.

Animal Athletes!

In PE on Wednesday Year 3 made the most of a beautiful sunny afternoon.

We thought about how we can take inspiration from the animal kingdom to make us faster runners.


We ran with soft knees and fast like tigers...












...and kept our bodies up tall like giraffes.



















We practised developing our balance and using our arms when running.
