Year 3 have been learning about the Romans, so we have been exploring how the roman army managed to win so many battles. We have practiced javelin throwing, sword fighting and even made some roman shields. We learnt how to march in the tortoise formation, which protected the soldiers from arrows and missiles.
Year 3 groups have been using the shapes and colours in autumn leaves to make some spectacular firework collages. We cut up the they leaves then exploded them on the paper, adding details with oil pastels. The children then used 'wow' words to appreciate each other's work! Let us know what you think.
We finally got a clear blustery day to try out Year 3's kites in the playground . As you can see all the hard work paid off!
Red Kite and Osprey classes have been constructing their own kites using just plastic bags, sticks, tape and wool. We were hoping to take advantage of some autumn wind but have only had rain so far! Fingers crossed for some blowy weather next week so we can see if they fly. Here are some instructions to make your own.
Our Year 3 groups have been meeting the school chickens and learning about their needs. They will be responsible for collecting the eggs, cleaning them out and making sure they are fed and watered.
We also designed our perfect chicken homes with everything they would need to keep them happy and healthy. Ideas have included electric security systems, climbing frames and worm digging areas!
