Hello! Welcome to another Year 3 weekly blog. We are racing through the spring term with another week packed full of challenges and learning.
Literacy
In literacy this week, we have been spending a lot of time empathising. We now know that this means thinking about how others are feeling. We have been learning about the life of local archaeologist Howard Carter and his excavation of the Valley of the Kings. We have been imagining what it must of been like making one of the most important discoveries about ancient Egypt of all time: Tutankhamen's tomb. We have heard about the troubles plaguing the dig and identified different thoughts, feelings and emotions, getting ready to write in role when we re-create is diary entries.
Maths
In maths we have been continuing with our money skills. We are confident recognising different coins and solving problems involving money. We are now adding up our shopping bills and working out the change.
Science
We had a very exciting week in science, as we created our very own rainbows. We discovered that white light is actually made up of a spectrum of colours which can be split up when passing light through certain materials. It was tricky setting everything up but when we found our rainbows we were very excited! Ask us to explain how we did it.
History
In history this week, we researched how important the river Nile was to the ancient Egyptians and how the farming seasons changed throughout the years because of it. Lucia won the 'Wonderful Work' certificate this week for her fantastic explanation of the three farming seasons: Akhet, Peret and Shemu.
In other news...
We all enjoyed celebrating and raising money for Sports Relief this week. We dressed in our favourite sports gear, donated money to charity, ran a mile and worked together in teams to design our own new team game involving giant balloons and hoops.
