As part of our inquiry focus of ‘how do we remember war and those who fought in the war?’ Y3 have been learning about the importance of Remembrance Day. Today we walked to the Royton Park war memorial to pay our respects to those that have died in war and to place our handmade poppy wreath at the site.
Our Stone Age exhibition was a massive success. Year 3 were very confident speaking to parents and it was lovely to see such a big turn out- so thankyou!
We hope you learned something new!
In Y3 we had an exciting introduction to our Stone Age topic! We were given the task of being archaeologists for the afternoon. We had to uncover clues around school and use them to guess our next class topic and predict what our next Whole Class book might be about! We had an amazing time!
On Tuesday 11th June Year 3 went on a trip to Baretrees school. Year 3 Thorp children were so excited. When we got there we got so nicely welcomed by Baretrees. After we got put in groups we went to go and sit down with Baretrees. Half of us went in the big hall and the rest of us went in the small hall. Next we changed halls and did more activities. We were exhausted! When we had dinner we sat in the small hall.
In the afternoon we talked about two different religions, Islam and Christianity. We hope year 3 Baretrees enjoyed it.

On the 19 of June on a Wednesday afternoon year 3 went to the Bridge water Hall. Year 3 were so excited to go and play with one of the most famous orchestras in the world. We played the Blue Danube, the Ran Can Can and sung One Step on the Moon and Galactic Groove. The hall was beautiful. It was full with light and joy.
Year 3 were so happy to be there and we had so much fun. I can’t wait to go and perform again!
Today Thorp Primary had an easter egg competition. Were we had to paint,colour and create an egg to win a big chocolate egg. The judges were Miss Garside and Miss Clark. They had to choose one person from each class the winner of our class was Ted. People did lots of different and interesting eggs for the competition.
Year three went on a trip to Tatton Park. First we met two ladies called Ruth and Tracey they told us different things about the Stone Age. There were three sections in the stone age called old stone age, middle stone age and new stone age. After we did some learning. We used some rocks to cut some paper and the paper broke. When we had finished we went on to digging with the stone age tools. Tracey told us to get the stone age tools and she asked what tools some of them were easy some of them were not. Later on after our lunch we looked at animal skins. We all followed Ruth and she got out some animal skins everyone got hair on them.
Year 3 all went to a times table event against 3 other schools. We all walked there. When we got there we all went to the hall. First we danced to a times table song. Then we went to do a puzzle were we had to find a word from times tables. Then Zak and Alycia went to the front of the hall and did the competition on an ipad. Guess who won? Yeah we did because of Alycia and Zak.
