Year 3 had a very special visitor!

Today, year 3 were lucky enough to have a visit from Santa. He asked if we thought we had been naughty or nice and some of us did admit that we thought we might have been a little bit naughty! 

Luckily as classes, we managed to have been good enough to get a gift! We were so excited about our presents and were very grateful to Santa for bringing them. 

Planting beans

In 1L this week we planted beans by: filling our cup with soil, pushing our bean down into the soil, watering the soil and bean, then placing it on the window sill so it can get some sun to help it grow.

We are all excited to look after the plants, by watering them regularly, and watching them grow tall!

Fingers crossed for some sunshine...

Y3S have been thinking about trees as symbols

In Y3S, we have been spending a couple of days looking at Trees as Symbols. We explored how trees are used as symbols and whether we thought they were good symbols. We also thought about how we feel about trees and what they migh represent for us. We then looked at the tree of knowledge and created our own. Here are just some of the things we included on our tree of knowledge. 

We also looked at the Tale of the Three Trees and wrote our own stories based on one of the trees. 

1S No Pens Wednesday !

We had fun in 1S this week on Wednesday continuing our learning without using pens. We took this as an opportunity to combine art with science. We spoke about the artist Andy Goldsworthy, who uses the natural environment to create his artwork and had a discussion about what we might use to try and create our own versions of some of his artwork. 

After this we ventured outside on a warm, sunny, autumn morning,  thinking about the senses we were using to explore the environment around us whilst we collected, twigs, leaves, flowers and anything else we could find that reminded us of autumn.

Once back inside everyone had a great time creating their masterpieces!
