It's been another great week in Year 3!

We started the week with a maths lesson, on the playground, to help us learn about ordering numbers. The children had great fun drawing number lines and writing their answers on the playground. We have finished place value now and are moving on the next unit, addition and subtraction.

To conclude our dragons unit in English, we have started exploring explanation texts and the children will write their own explanations about how to look after a pet dragon. 
Over the past couple of days, the children have worked with a partner to complete a short explanation about different parts of a dragon's body. The example below is an explanation we wrote together as a class. Some of the children have written a neat version and it has been added to our display in class.

Well done to you all!

​Have a lovely weekend. 

Yesterday, the children enjoyed working with clay during their art lesson. They have completed the first steps of creating their own model of a dragon egg. Next week, the children will paint and decorate their eggs before making a small dragon to sit inside the following week. The children enjoyed using their hands and tools to create the egg shape and patterns on their eggs.

This morning, the children have written letters to dragon pen pal. They have been working hard on creating and punctuating their questions. They have also been organising their writing into paragraphs. Next week, they will be writing replies and sharing their letters.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend!

This week, Year 3 had the chance to add more detail to their dragon eye pictures. Some children even managed to complete them and have a go at making an origami dragon head. 

In PE, the children have moved onto Tag Rugby. They really enjoyed practising their defending and attacking during the tagging games. The children worked brilliantly together and displayed some excellent team work skills.

​Have a lovely weekend. 

Year 3 have been working hard this week. We have been learning all about adverbs and how they can be used to describe movements; they even transformed into dragons on the playground and explored how dragons fly and move across land. 

Continuing with our dragon theme, the class have also started to create their own dragon eye pictures. We hope to finish them next week, so look out for them on the blog next week. 

Today, the class worked in groups on some different mathematical problems. They used counters, multilink, dice and pictorial representations to help them. 

Another great week - well done, everyone!

Have a lovely weekend. 

The class have had a great first week; they have been busy making a rather special discovery on the school field, enjoying their first PE lesson with Saints coach, Mr Berry and creating beautiful artwork.

On Tuesday, the class went onto the field to listen to the sounds, investigate their surroundings and think of adjectives to describe the things they could see and hear. They couldn't believe it when they found something rather unexpected...

All the children have been incredibly excited about finding this rather special egg and have come up with all sorts of predictions for what could be inside. After seeing some footage of dragons in flight, the class have decided it is most likely a dragon egg! But what kind of dragon could it be?

Next week, the class will be sketching dragon eyes and adding colour to them with different materials, so this week we investigated blending. The class went to work with pastels, chalks, paints and pencil crayons to decide which colours blended easily and which were the most vibrant.

A great week, everyone. Well done!

Have a lovely weekend.

It was wonderful to see all the children today and welcome them back to school. Every child has made a fantastic effort on their first day and I'm really excited to see how they progress during the year.


We've spent the day getting to know the layout of the classroom, the new timings and routines of KS2, working together on some team and class challenges and investigating colour mixing in art this afternoon.

A great first day back - well done, everyone!
