Earthquake devastates Curie Class
In Geography we have been looking at earthquakes and the effect they have on people.We made the classroom look as though it had been hit by an earthquake and when we heard the siren to alert us ,we all had to take cover under the tables.
In Science we have been investigating forces.We have looked at different surfaces to test friction .We discovered that the rougher the surface the more force is needed to move it.
In English we have been looking at discussion text.
Has your child ever pestered you for a pet?
Please mum can we have a rabbit/dog/cat/woolly mammoth?
Woolly mammoth?
We had to decide whether the woolly mammoth would make a good pet.
Here are some of the reasons why it would or would not make the ideal pet.
It would keep you warm in winter.
It would stop burglars coming to your house.
If we rode a woolly mammoth we could save the planet by not driving our cars!
On the other hand....
Woolly mammoths would not fit through your door.
Woolly mammoths would break everything in your house .
Woolly mammoths make an awful toilet mess!
In History in Curie class we have been looking at Stonehenge and have learned why it was constructed and when.With the help of parents the children made their own Stonehenge using biscuits and icing.
Yummy!
Welcome to Year 3's class page!

Poo to You!
In History, we have been comparing the Stone Age diet to our 21st century diet. We have been examining Stone Age 'poo'. The children had to find out what Stone Age people ate by sifting through the 'poo'. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon!
We have been sending home a Posada box to share with some of our families and looking at it in school too during our worship. We send home figures of Mary and Joseph, prayers, a candle, a purple advent cloth, the Christmas story and a notebook. The children have a look at whats inside with their families and choose what they do with it. This could be saying a prayer, ordering the story, lighting the candle and retelling the Christmas story. This gives our children and families the opportunity to prepare for Christmas together.
As our topic is 'Healthy Humans', we have been have been learning about different food groups, how to have a healthy balanced diet, different ways of exercising and the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. In English, our topic is persuasive letters, so we decided to write a letter to each class to persuade them to be a little healthier by joining our whole school fitness class. We wanted to persuade as many children as we could to join us! We delivered our letters around school and a few of us read them out to the other children.
As it was anti-bullying week, we had circle time to discuss what bullying is and how we can choose kindness and positivity. We created a class poster and came up with 23 different ways to be kind, we wore blue, bought wristbands and donated the money to Bullying UK and lastly we gave out blue chance cards rather than white to support anti-bullying and see how many acts of kindness there were in our class that week.
