This half term we have been reading David Walliams’ book, Billionaire Boy. Last week, we wrote a piece of direct speech between Bob and Joe in the style of Walliams and acted our the argument in pairs.

Relax Kids
Over the last few weeks, we have had a visitor from Relax Kids join us every Thursday. She has been teaching us different ways to relax, including breathing techniques and stretches.
Emmeline Parkhurst
During one of our History lessons, we focused on the work of Emmeline Parkhurst and the Suffragettes. We created our own Suffragette posters during this lesson and marched around the school field, imagining how the Suffragettes would have felt over 100 years ago as they took part in demonstrations. Some also gave their own speeches, hoping to encourage others to join them in the march.
English Experience Day
We started off our English lesson today acting out the traditional tale of ‘The Three Little Pigs’. We then hot seated the wolf and the pigs to find out more about them. After that, Mrs Pollitt read us ‘The True Story of the Three Little Pigs’ and surprisingly the wolf was not a bad character. We hot seated the wolf and the pigs again to find out more about them. We are going to be writing a newspaper report all about it. We then spend the rest of the lesson reading a variety of newspapers. We all had a great lesson.
Structures
In D.T, we have been exploring the different types of structures in Italy including the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Colosseum.
Reward Afternoon
For the end of the term, Year 3 chose to watch Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory. They even had two special guests!
Design Technology – Torches
We really enjoyed making our torches in Design Technology.
Exploring the streets of Rome and London
In Geography this half term we have been researching Italy. We really enjoyed using Google Earth to explore the streets of Rome and London. We then compared the two cities and discussed where we would like to visit.
Rock Investigation
In Science we have been investigating different types of rocks. During this investigation, the children explored the colours, textures and shapes of the rocks before deciding the type of rock each sample belonged in.
