Year Three have settled back in after the half term break learning lots of new things.
What we have learnt about this week
In English, the pupils have started reading a new book called ‘The Boy Who Grew Dragons’. They have written a setting description of Grandad’s garden and made predictions of what will be in the strange fruit.
In maths, the pupils have learned about horizontal, vertical and parallel and perpendicular lines. They have also recapped 2D shapes recognised and drawn polygons and made 3D shapes.
In RE, a new unit of Sikhism has commenced. This week, they have looked at why Sikhs wear special symbols and have produced a poster about this.
In history, the pupils are continuing the unit on Ancient Greeks where they have looked at sources of evidence to decide whether The Trojan Horse is real or a myth.
A new unit on ‘Plants’ has begun in science. This week, they have learned the names of the parts of the flowers and their functions.
