Year 3 Blog - Penguins Class

Mr Pharoaoh organised a super sports week this year when the children took part in sports day races and potted sports as well as cricket, gymnastics, drumba and basketball sessions.  Their learning behaviours were admirable (the outside providers commented on this) and we were very proud of them.

We hope you've had a super week off and are looking forward to hearing all about your exciting adventures from the children tomorrow.  Below is a curriculum map of learning for next half-term.  We'll be looking at the season of summer next week, so lets hope we get some sunshine!

Wow! What a busy term! We launched our new topic about habitats by creating a new area for our class guinea pigs Sharky, Pip and Pop! 

We have learnt lots about many habitats including woodland, rainforest and polar regions.

Here are a few photos to give you a peek at what we’ve been doing! 

What a week of science! We’ve done a daily ‘awe and wonder’ science experiment to celebrate science week. For each experiment we made predictions, tested them out and discussed what had happened after.  There was so much scientific language being used - you’d be so proud parents. 

On Friday we were visited by the British Geological Survey, who treated us to a talk about volcanoes, different types of rocks and fossils. They even let us do some fossil rubbings, and set us up with a rock growing experiment. We’ll keep you posted on that one.

We enjoyed  reading lots and lots of animal stories with all these lovely animals! 

What a wonderful Book Week we’ve had!
