Welcome to Lime Class

Welcome to Year 3 in Lime Class.

We hope that you have all had a fun and restful summer and we are looking forward to meeting you and getting to know you all better over the course of the year.

We look forward to an exciting year ahead!

Physical Education - Gymnastics

We have begun our gymnastics unit this half term by revisiting our learning from Year 2 of the basic gymnastics shapes. We are looking to develop this knowledge further and incorporate these into a gymnastics floor sequence. 

Instruction writing

As part of our instructions unit in Writing, we had a go at making some origami fish to help us understand the importance of instructions being clear and easy to follow. 

Scooter Workshop

Following our scooter workshop last week, Year 3 have had the opportunity to put their newly learnt skills and safety tips into practice. We have enjoyed using the scooters at lunchtimes and look forward to continuing to use them on the playground. 

Art Day

This term for Art Day we celebrated Rucstall's 50th birthday by using swans as the focus of our artwork.  In Year 3 we looked at using pastels and sketching pencils to create an observational drawing of a swan. 

They turned out fantastically and we are very proud of them! They will be displayed at the Rucstall 50th celebration too!

Below are some photos of both our artwork and the creative process.

Butser Ancient Farm Trip

We had a fantastic trip to Butser Ancient Farm this week! The weather held out for us and we enjoyed every second of the trip. Our guide for the day was incredibly knowledgeable about the Stone Age and taught the children so many fascinating Stone Age facts.

Below are some pictures of our day:

DT Day - Tomato Soup

Our Design Technology unit this half term has been looking at learning how to make soup. We have developed the skills need to make soup including: chopping and cutting vegetables, weighing the ingredients and being safe around sharp utensils. 

Please enjoy the photos below, of us on our DT day. 

Art Day - William Morris

This half term, we have been learning about the artist William Morris. 

He is known for his artwork which features repeating patterns and muted colours. 

The children produced their own painting in the style of William Morris using printing blocks made from foam squares. 

RE - Special Items

This half term in RE we have been focussing on the word 'holy' and understanding what it means to ourselves and people of different religions. 

The children bought in items that were special to them and shared them with the rest of the class. It was so lovely to see them talking passionately about things that are important to them!

DT - Coin Purses

The children have enjoyed a DT unit involving the design and creation of their own coin purse. They designed their purse, chose the colour and then used their sewing knowledge to create it. Here are some pictures of the children practicing their running stitch. 

More photos to come when they are all completed!
