Year 3 Blog

Today, we did First Aid training with St John's ambulance. We learnt how to deal with cuts and how to put a badage on. We learnt that if someone is unconsious and they are bleeding, how to stop the bleeding. We need to use a jumper or a coat, NOT our hands. If someone is found unconsious we need to remember to follow: DRSABC. We really enjoyed it and would love to do some more first aid training!

Welcome to Year 3 with Miss Lewis! We have some fantastic activities planned for the year ahead within our half-termly creative topics and the children will have the opportunity to take part in some exciting workshops/trips during the Year. Autumn term 2016 will begin with an interesting, fun packed topic "Flying High" where the children we will be writing letters to a mystery pen pal that wants our help. We have also dived straight into our papier mache hot air balloon making. Stay tuned for some more messy moments…

During this half term, we have been exploring art work by the famous artist LS Lowry. We have learnt how and why he became an artist and explored some of his work with a particular focus on his famous picture ‘The Football Match’. We have begun by taking a section of the painting and sketched in the missing section. We have explored using a range of pencil techniques to add effect and demonstrated our shading techniques with pencil crayons and pastels.  

We have started our spring term with the theme The Amazing Amazon. The children are so enthused to learn about the rainforest and have researched rainforest plants, animals and have begun looking at the Yanomami tribe.  They are also very excited to be learning some salsa dance moves in the next few weeks.
