Welcome to Year 3 (Miss McKee)
Our Class Work
As we are looking at the history of our local area this term, we will be studying the Artist Norman Cornish who is a world famous painter from Spennymoor. Linked with this, we have been given the fantastic opportunity to take part in a project with Beamish Open Air Museum where the children will get to take part in a school based workshop, a day trip to the museum itself and another workshop while they are at the museum. After all of their hard work, the children will create a piece of art inspired by Norman Cornish which will be sent to Beamish to go on display over the February half term.
Spring Term – Super Spennymoor and Divine Durham!
Merry Christmas from all of Year 3!
Year 3 had a great time at their party this afternoon and were so excited to meet the special guest – Santa!
Year 3 are using counters and arrays to help them solve some tricky multiplications!
World War 1 and World War 2 Week
This week the children have been learning all about the two World Wars and their impact on life today. To round up the week, we were lucky enough to have a reenactment group come in to show the children artefacts from World War 2. They even got to see some vehicles that would have been commonplace during the war.
Today we took our maths lesson outside of the classroom! The children used things that they could find around the yard to help them add 3-digit numbers.
Stone Age Workshop!
Today we travelled to our partnership school to take part in a fantastic Stone Age to Iron Age workshop. The children got the opportunity to handle some real and replica artefacts from prehistoric times. They also got to create their own tribe and emboss their own tribal coin onto foil.
After lunch the children explored the human skeleton and how it goes together. We also discussed how a human’s skeleton has changed over thousands of years since prehistoric people walked the Earth.
Autumn Open Afternoon
For our open afternoon, Year 3 took part in building their own Stone age shelters using the logs found around the school grounds and then made their own natural paints using berries, soil and water!
They thoroughly enjoyed the den building and had fun mashing up the fruit with their sticks!
Autumn Term – Savage Stone Age to Industrious Iron Age!
