This week in Year 3, we have continued our reseach into how we can save the bees and help to save the world! Using a variety of sources, we have gathered information to create an engaging powerpoint which we then presented in our classes. We have also been thinking about how bees help us by pollinating plants. In science, we even dissected a flower to take a look at exactly what a bees do in there!

A big thank you to all our lovely Year 3 families for coming along and helping us make our volcanoes. We had lots of fun and made a good mess. Our volcanoes are all ready for painting now and we will make them erupt in the week before Easter. Here are some amazing pictures of our morning. Thank you again.

In was Science Week this week and the theme for 2019 was Journeys. Year 3 looked at the incredible journey of the Channel Tunnel and leant some interesting facts. We then made our own Tunnel or Tracks board games loosely based on snakes and ladders. We really enjoyed creating our board games and playing them - we even added some interesting facts to the game.

In Topic this half term we are learning all things Volcano. We have looked at how they are formed, how they erupt, where we can find them in the world. We even know the names of some volcanoes like Miss Williams' favourite Popocatepetl also known as POPO. This week we have made our very own volcanoes to see what happens inside.

Year 3 really enjoyed celebrating World Book Day. We dressed up as our favourite character, tuned into BBC's World Book Day live show, recommended our favourite books and read with Year 1 and Year 6. Here are some photos to show our amazing day and costumes.

Wombwell Cricket Club have joined Year 3 for the last 3 weeks to teach us a vast array of cricket skills. We have had so much fun learning new skills. Here are some pictures to show what we have been doing. A big thank you to Wombwell Cricket Club for all their help, support and most importantly FUN!

Thank you so much for supporting our lovely children with their Year 3 Assembly on all things chocolate. It was lovely to see so many of you and the children really enjoyed preforming for you. It was wonderful to share with you all we have learned over the last 6 weeks and I hope you enjoyed our A-Z of chocolate. We are so proud of this lovely Year 3 cohort for all their hard work and determination. Thank you again for supporting us.

Year 3 have been learning all about magnets over the last few weeks. We have tested magnet strength, completed a scrapyard challenge to see which materials are attracted to a magnet. This week we have been creating magnet games using what we know about magnets.
The children enjoyed being as creative as possible using the materials provided. Here are some of our games.
