Year 3 have worked hard on creating their own verisons of the Tiger Child and they have used book creator to turn them in to books.  Check out the videos below

Finally the sun stayed out long enough for us to explore how the sun creates shadows.  Year 3 were challenged to make a variety of shadows tall, thin, big and small. They all worked really hard and came up with some amazing ideas. We pose the question:

What happens to our shadow when we face the sun?

Does our shadow when we turn away from the sun?

After experimenting with year 4’s dioramas to create stop frame animations we began to look at the geography of India and how we could incorporate it in to our own versions. Take a look at what we have created so far.

In science today year 3 explored shadows.  They made their own shadow puppets and used a torch to explore how shadows are created. Check out the video below.

Year 3 had fun learning about light and dark.  We Experimented with different materials to see who could make the darkest dark den.

Today in Maths year3 built a variety of shapes using playdough. They talked about their shapes and described their properties. They all enjoyed playing with the playdough.

Year 3 had a fantastic afternoon trying on different traditional outfits as part of our Bollywood project.  We created a catwalk and everyone got involved. Click on a link below to see the video footage.

Today in maths, year 3 enjoyed  programming bee-bots to make 1/4 turns and follow a route. What directions did you use?

This afternoon year 3 have been using an app on the ipad called Explain everything to create pictures of their dinosaurs.  The pictures will appear in their pop up book. 

Year 3 have been learning how to sketch over the last couple of weeks.  They have had a visit from a local Artist called Trish she has been coming into school to help us make and deisgn our own pop up book.  The children have been using their skills to sketch the Dinosaur that they have been writing about in English. Here are a few examples of the work that they produced. Well done Year 3.
