Benvolio Class (Year 3)

Poetry

Over the last two weeks, we have been exploring the poem ‘From the Balcony’ by Pie Corbett. We produced our own version of the poems using the key features as well as our senses.

Holi

This week, we learnt about the Hindu festival of Holi. We looked at how it is celebrated around the world.

World Book Day 2023

We celebrated World Book day this year through the theme of 'bedtime stories'. We dressed in our pyjamas and enjoyed sharing and reading our favourite books with Badgers Class in the afternoon.

English

Part of our English learning this term has been based on how, when and why we use paragraphs in our writing. We sorted a mixture of sentences into paragraphs based on their topic.

Science

In our science lessons this term, we have been learning about animals, including humans. This has included looking at bones and muscles in a human body. We made our own model of a human arm!

Taste testing different fillings and bread for our healthy sandwiches

Homework Heroes!

As part of Black History Month, pupils in Year 3 combined their reading and creative skills to create these fantastic posters on Mary Seacole. They read an informative text, picked out the key facts and used these to design these fabulous posters!

Instruction writing

Following our art lesson making Stone Age pottery, we wrote our own instructions on how to create these handy pots.

Stone Age pottery

This week, we spent some time making our own clay Stone Age pots. We linked our history learning to this and discussed when clay pottery was first used. Next week, we will be writing our own instructions on how these clay pots were made during our English lessons.
