Autumn 1
The Aslans enjoyed a well-deserved Classwide Reward. Linked to our Hinduism RE topic, they made rangoli patterns and coconut barfi.
Within Religious Education, we are studying how Hindus celebrate and show their faith. We looked at Diwali and the symbolism of diva lamps.
In English, we have been practising the spelling rules for adding -ing.
In History, Year 3 have been looking at how we learn about prehistoric times. We looked at Stone Age artefacts that archeologists have unearthed and discussed what they were used for and when they were likely to have been made.
Linked to our Stone Age history topic, Year 3 have been looking at cave art. During forest school, the Aslans produced negative space handprint artwork using chalk and a handprint template.
Our science topic is Forces and Magnets. In Forest School, the Aslans showed how a magnet could be used as a compass and explored how magnets interact with each other and with a paper clip.
What a fantastic day Stone Age Day was! Year 3 explored many different aspects of prehistoric life, including how early man created tools to hunt and later began farming. They learnt about how people traded resources. They also crushed down chalk to make their own paint, which they used to recreate cave art.
