Spring
South Downs Dark Skies Festival
We took inspiration from the Dark Skies Festival (which takes place in February) to create our new corridor display. Year 3 thought about what 'The Man on the Moon' would be able to see in the clear skies and used this to generate ideas for our poems. We also looked at different artists' impressions of the night sky and chose to create similar artwork using pastel, paint and black card.
French with Sevenoaks School
Year 3 are lucky enough to have some Sixth Form students from Sevenoaks School deliver some French lessons to us. The boys are native French speakers and Year 3 were in for a shock when most of the lesson was delivered in French!
Rainforest Animals with Wild Science!
Year 3 were visited by Wild Science who brought along some of their animals commonly found in the rainforest. This helped to introduce our topic on Brazil and the Amazon. We had a snake, tree frog, leopard gecko, giant African snail and a cockroach. We learnt a lot about these different animals and how they would live in the rainforest.
Hillforts in the Iron Age
We used the iPads to record what we had learnt about hillforts. Settling on a hill meant that communities could see their enemies approaching who would then be worn out by the time they reached the top of the hill!
Numberline Work
Estimating where a number should go on a blank number line is tricky! But Year 3 worked on ways to make it easier by finding the middle point and multiples of 100 (making sure they are evenly spaced). We even had a 10m long number line to practise on!
