Year 3 Monstersaurus Hook Day
In Year 3, we have been learning all about the Monstersaurus! Before our lessons even began, all of the classes in Year 3 had received a special visit from the Monstersaurus. He left footprints all over the classroom, test tubes full of a strange liquid on the tables and lots of scientific equipment. The children had to investigate what had happened and who had made the dreadful mess! They were also left some instructions for scientific experiments by the monster which they all were keen to create. Year 3 especially liked using vinegar and baking powder to create a fizzy, bubbly mix as is shown in the image above.
Year 3 meets Fred the skeleton!
Fred has been helping us in our Science topic; food and bones. In groups we tried to create our own skeleton by piecing together the bones. Some of them looked very unusual! Come and have a look at our completed skeletons down the year 3 corridor.

At the start of year 3, children have been introduced to fables in their English unit. They have been identifying many different sentence openers which can be used to improve their writing such as, adverbials, problems, characters and settings. Children will then have the opportunity to implement what they have learned in the next section of the unit when learning the story ‘How the tortoise got his shell’. As part of this unit the children were excited to create their own tortoises; decorating card and paper bowls. Currently, children have been working in groups, creating their own actions for the story to help with retelling and creating story maps.
We have also been very busy with our place value unit, using lots of resources to understand the value of numbers and ordering.
