Art
This week we finished off our Icarus pictures. We were experimenting with tint, shade and tone. We were challenged to change white through to yellow, then red and finally to black by gradually adding one colour at a time. We then made a tiny Icarus, using feathers and dowel, to complete the piece. We hope you will agree that the finished result is extremely eye catching.
History/Art
In history, we were pretending that we were curators at a museum, and had to piece together fragments of ancient Greek pottery. When we had successfully completed the task, we discussed what we could learn about ancient Greece from the different shaped pots and pictures upon them.
We didn't stop there though! We did some further research on the i Pads about the uses of the various shaped pots and we even had a go at making some miniature Greek style pottery ourselves.
Literacy
We have been continuing with our unit on play scripts. This week we learnt how to layout the opening scenes of a play script. We had a go at writing our very own play scripts; some of us attempting the Greek creation story Pandora's box.
Numeracy
In numeracy, we have been applying our place value skills, doing activities, games and investigations around multiplying numbers by 10 and 100. We have also started learning new methods for written addition: the column method.
Again more fantastic news that even more of Year 3 have gained their certificates for the Read to Succeed scheme. Well done!
