Year 3 Spring

Music

All pupils in Year 3 have throughly enjoyed expressing themselves in their music lesson! All pupils showed resilience and perseverance when learning to play the recorder.

 

History

Pupils have been learning about cuneiform, a system of writing first developed by the ancient Sumerians of Mesopotamia c. 3200 BCE. Cuneiform was first developed around 3200 BCE by Sumerian scribes in the ancient city-state of Uruk, in present day Iraq, as a means of recording transactions. Cuneiform writing was created by using a reed stylus to make wedge shaped indentations in clay tablets.

 

World Book Day

Pupils had a wonderful and exciting day in school celebrating their favourite books and authors. We were introduced to a superb book called The Day I Fell into a Fairy Tale by Ben Miller. The pupils were enthralled and were very excited to predict and write an excerpt from the story using their imagination. What a fantastic job they did! 

 

 Art

The pathway for learning this term focused on working with shape and colour. Pupils were inspired by key artworks and their own work in creative response. Pupils used shape and colour as a way to simplify elements of the world and noted that shapes have both a positive and negative element. Pupils used shapes to create exciting compositions and learned that imagery can be built through layering shapes. 

 

PE

Our physical education objective is dance this term and pupils needed to consider how electricity travels. Pupils devised movements in groups to imitate electricity.
