Persuasive writing
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
This week in English. We have been planning a persuasive leaflet based on a place in Greece. We worked in different groups to research each destination to find out about the location, culture, history, food and things to do there. We are looking forward to writing them next week and hopefully persuading you all to go there one day!
Super sewing bees!

What an amazing bunch of sewing bees we have in year 3! I have been blown away with their skills and learning over the past few weeks and we have created a wonderful display in class of their cushions. The children have incorporated running stitch, cross stitch and appliqué into their cushions and they all look outstanding! They are looking forward to bring them home for you to see. Thank you to those of you who volunteered to help last week, I am so grateful for your help and threading needles!
Greek Day!

We kick started our new topic on the 'Ancient Greeks' with a 'Greek Day' on Tuesday. The children took part in a variety of activities including tasting different Greek delicacies, following a recipe to make their own Greek salad, exploring where Greece is on a map, learning about different Greek myths and creating their own mythical creatures as well as carrying out some research using the iPads. Thank you for all your efforts with the children's costumes- we all had a wonderful. cultural day!
STEM DAY
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
Today the children took part in a whole school STEM day where they were asked to create a strong bridge. The design criteria was-
- It needed to be made out of art straws, masking tape and paper.
2. It must be freestanding.
3. it must span a gap of 20cm
The children worked in their friendship pairs to create their bridges and it was lovely to see the engagement, problem solving and teamwork displayed by each pair. It was also particularly wonderful to have a day off timetable where the children were free to be creative. A great day by all!
