Art in Paradise

Yesterday, the children had a super trip to Art in Paradise. We had lots of fun exploring the different paintings and looking at the techniques that artists employed to make their work appear 3D. Here are some photographs of what we saw. Many of these will be used to generate ideas from our writing next year!

                              

                                   

                               

                                   

                                   

                               

                                        

                                        

                               

                                

                                    

                                   

                                      

                                      

                                          

                                    

                                    

                                        

                                  

                                 

                                  

                                 

                                  

                                     

                       

                      

                               

                                   

                                   

                                   

                               

                               

                           

What a lovely way to end our last few weeks in Year 3!

News!

Over these last two weeks of term we will be consolidating our learning from the year as well as celebrating the World Cup by taking part in various activities and events. Here are some photos of how we have been consolidating the learning from our 'Time' and 'Money' units.

You're doing a wonderful job boys and girls!

Shadow Puppets

Recently, 3C have had a lot of fun creating shadow puppets. In our Science lessons, we explored how light travels from a light source until it meets an object, in this case it was our classroom wall. When something blocks light travelling from a source, a shadow is formed. We also looked at how light can travel through translucent materials. Some children even added colour to their shadow puppets.

The class worked in groups of 4 and combined their knowledge of light and shadows with their knowledge of ancient Egypt to write some fantastic play scripts which they then performed to the class. 

Your stories were brilliant and very historically accurate. You worked well in your groups and listened carefully to each other's presentations. Well done 3C. 

Art in Paradise Trip

Dear Parents,

Just a quick reminder that our school trip is taking place tomorrow (Thursday 19th of June). Please could you ensure that your child arrives at school on time so that our bus can depart promptly.

Children are allowed to bring a camera to the museum. They have also been told that they can bring pajamas to change into for our afternoon treat. Packed lunches and snacks are not necessary.

If you have any questions, please feel free to either come and see me or send an email.
