Celebrating Holi
As part of our topic 'Can a villain be good?', Y3 were finding out about the Holi Festival. After finding out how Hindu's celebrate Holi, we had lots of fun with gulal (the coloured powder used in Hindu celebrations).

Stone Age Day
We had a fantastic day finding out about the Stone Age. We dissected Stone Age 'poo' and discovered that they ate leaves, berries, seeds and fish. We also made our own paint for cave painting, made our own salt dough for jewellery and made weapons. The children all looked amazing!

Angels
As part of our Christmas unit of work about angels. Year 3 designed and made their own angel Christmas tree decoration. They learned a range of different stitches and used these stitches to join different fabrics.

SCARF
Y3 had a visitor today. They were finding out more about SCARF (safety, caring, achievement, resilience and friendship). They met Harold who is the scarf mascot and found out lots about how their bodies work.

Potions
Year 3 made potions as part of their unit of work focusing on 'The Wonderful World of Worlds'. We read George's Marvellous Medicine and created some of our own potions. It was very messy but lots of fun.

This half term, we have been working with a specialist PE teacher. Mrs Serridge has been helping the children to improve their fitness levels by exploring a range of multiskills. Please see her newsletter for more information.
