Autumn 1

Week 4

Today we explored how energy moves through food chains. We were able to position ourselves to create our own food chain and could discuss the transfer of energy between the sun, the producer, the primary consumer and the secondary consumer. Great job Year 3! 

Week 3

We took part in the Houghton Feast Art Project this week. We used images of things from our local area to create beautiful artwork which will be shared in the library during Houghton Feast! We completed our observational drawings using tickle-touch pencil strokes and added depth and movement with watercolour pencils.

Week 2

Today Sapphire Class explored nouns. We know that a noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, or idea. We conducted a noun hunt in our classroom and we were later able to identify a range of nouns when reading our new text, The First Drawing- Both by listening to the story and through inspecting the illustrations. We then began to discuss the difference between common nouns and proper nouns. Super job Year 3! 

This afternoon we used marks and lines to show texture in our artwork. We inspected a peacock feather, discussing linear patterns before producing our drawings. 

Week 1

We have had a lovely first week in Year 3. The children have all settled in beautifully and worked very hard in all of their tasks. We have been exploring numbers to 100 this week. Sapphire Class did an excellent job at representing two-digit numbers using base ten manipulatives. We then used part-whole models to partition two-digit numbers to 100.

Year 3 loved their first session with ELDance this afternoon. The children practiced and performed a mini routine focusing on their timing and smooth transition between shapes. Well done Year 3!
