This half term, we learning about A Night on Bare Mountain composed by Modest Mussorgsky off the film Fantasia. In English, we have been exploring nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs and have been creating our own spooky  entences to describe the senses. We have also been exploring coordinating conjuntions and using these in our writing to create a spooky story setting. In Topic, we have begun researching facts about Modest Mussorgsky and have been expressing how the music makes us feel through mod art.


up, UP and away!

Welcome to Year 3's class blog. We have lifted off to a flying start after receiving a letter from a pen pal Iza Jayer who lives in the Arctic Circle and needs our help to win a hot air balloon competition to England. We have begun our year 3 journey by getting very messy, designing and creating our own hot air balloons and the children have suggested that we learn to write back to Iza Jayer. In Science we have started our first topic 'Magnets and springs' and this week will be exploring bar magnets.
