We have been very busy this week creating our own Stone Age cave and Stonehenge paintings! For this, we researched actual paintings found in caves and chose our favorite designs. Using our designs, we painted our cave art on to our rough surface using a variety of Stone Age methods! Some of us used our fingers, whilst some of us used a thin stick brush. We think our artwork is amazing!
This half term, we are exploring the Amazing Amazon Rainforest. We have started the term by decorating our classroom with leaves, tree vines and Amazon animals bringing the jungle to Year 3's classroom. In English, we have researched Amazon animals and explored and wrote our own poems in the style of Paul Hess. We have begun reading and exploring 'How the Crocodile got his bumpy back', and How the Rhinoceros got his skin'. Next week, we will begin planning and writing our own 'How the' stories.

In Mathis this half term, we have been practising partitioning. My favourite part of Maths has been adding using partitioning. In English, we have been writing letters to Iza Jayer in the Artic Circle because he needed our help to win a hot air balloon competition to England but he wasn't very good at reading and writing. My favourite part of English this half term has been writing instructions about how to make a hot air balloon. Are favourite experiement in Science was seeing how different material can affect how fast an object travels.

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!

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.
