3BE

We have had another fantastic half term and have learned lots of new things.

We have finished our units on 'fractured stories' and 'All About Bears', we have been focusing on fronted adverbials, direct speech and expanded noun phrases. In Maths we have been learning our times tables - remember in Year 3 children are required to know their 3, 4 and 8 times tables so please keep learning these!

We have completed two Science topics: Rocks and Animals and Skeletons. We have enjoyed sorting rocks, testing rocks to see how durable and permeable they are and found out how fossils are made. The highlight of the half term, however, has to be dissecting owl pellets! We found lots of bones in them all belonging to a rodent!

This half term, we have had great fun learning about the Stone Age. We have built shelters, lit a candle, learned about Skara Brae, our oldest ancestors, made Stone Age pots, created our own cave paintings and much more! Below are photos of our clay pots and cave paintings.
