WELCOME TO YEAR 3!
Year 3 have had a very busy start to the term. Everyone has settled in well and we are starting to get our heads round the life and routines of Key Stage 2! We really hope this page gives you a little insight in all the fun and amazing things we get up to in our learning.

Stone Age Art
Stone Age Art
We have been busy learning about the Stonge Age times. We have particularly enjoyed looking at the different art work and cave paintings which have been discovered over time. This inspired us to have a go at our own hand print cave paintings. We discussed the different ways we could recreate these paintings and what colours would help to make our art look more realistic.

After researching the many cave drawings discovered by archeologists, we decided it was time to create some of our own. We wanted to find out what it was like to draw on rough surfaces like cave walls, so took to drawing our designs in our playground. Once we had learnt how to perfect our cave drawings we created our own class cave artwork. We were really proud with the outcome. After learning that natural resources were used in the caves, we also discovered smudging leaves can create green colouring!
Feast Day Celebrations
Feast Day Celebrations
What a ANIMALTASTIC day we had celebrating our Saint, St Francis. We had an amazing day exploring Noah's Ark Zoo learning about all the animals and endangered species. We also got to enjoy a very bumpy tractor ride around the park. Year 3 loved getting to look at all of the different animals and reflecting on St Francis and how he cared for the animals and loved having the oportunity to pet some scaley creatures too!
