A look back at our year so far...
Our class routines
Children are expected to read at home and log this in their reading diary. These will be checked by Mrs Murray, Mrs Fitzgerald and Mr Bowden, stickers will be rewarded to children who read on a regular basis. Homework is handed out on a Thursday and is expected back either Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, depending on which group your child is in. If they have completed their homework but would like some extra tasks, then they are able to select tasks form Learning Without Limits task cards from their zippy. Children are expected to practice their spellings during the week or weekend and will be tested every Monday. Our PE lessons lead by Mr Olde will be every Monday and Thursday, please ensure your child has the correct clothes and footwear for PE.
If you have any questions, please speak to either Mr Bowden or Mrs Murray in the morning or at home time.
Science Week
British Science week takes place between 6th-15th March 2020, therefore, we are celebrating this by have extra science lessons involving experiments and investigations. We are currently monitoring the effect of different liquids have on our teeth, experimenting with eggs.
Also, we have investigated invertebrates in the school grounds and thought about the habitats around them and how we could create our own hotel habitat to see if we have any visitors in the coming days. 
World Book Day
On the 5th April, we celebrated World Book day by dressing up as our favourite character. On the day, Year 3 focused on the tale of Robin Hood, we used prior knowledge and wrote a script to go with the story. Along with this we created a wanted poster for Robin Hood. Thanks to all the parents putting in hard work with the children's costume!
Oxford Natural History Museum
During the spring term, our topic has been Prehistoric World. We have learnt all about the Stone Age and the different periods within it, we have touched upon the Bronze and Iron Age too. Through our English, we have linked in the dinosaurs and written our own non'chronological report. To conclude our topic, we visited Oxford Natural History Museum including Pitt Rivers. Here we were able to see different artefacts that linked into other topics we have learnt about such as Egyptians and the Mayans. It was an excellent trip and Year 3 had an amazing time.
Prehistoric World - Stone Age Necklace
We used salt dough to recreate a Stone age necklace, fun had by all!
Father Christmas
Father Christmas came to visit Year 3, each child was even given a present from the man himself, Merry Christmas from Year 3.
Harvest
Year 3 produced an excellent Harvest assembly, we discussed how lucky we were to live in this country and have access to so much food. We even collected a stage full of food which was donated to One Can Trust.
.
We have now recently moved onto learning about the Mayans and chocolate. We have explored when the Mayans were discovered and what the pyramids were used for. We have learnt how to use an atlas and find Central America. Groups have also been working with Mrs Murray and creating their own chocolate cake!
The School Library
In Year 3, we love to read whenever possible. Recently we have been able to book a slot in the school library, here the children are able to practice their reading and also read to each other. The children will choose a book they can borrow from the library and bring back the following week. To finish our library session, the children gather and continue their class book read by Mr. Bowden. This will take place every Wednesday afternoon, please ensure your child have their books in their zippy bag.
Forest School
As forest school has come to an end, Year 3 would like to thank Mr Olde for a memorable experience learning all about the outdoors. The children are already excited about starting Forest School again in Year 4.
