Year 3 Geography
3McK have enjoyed learning about OS Maps in geography this half term. We have looked at using a key for a map, 4-figure grid references, as well as looking at rivers and counties.
Year 3 Musical Monday
3McK enjoyed their Musical Monday with Mirsha, a group who enjoy playing folk music.
Light
Year 3 enjoyed conducting an experiment in Science. We investigated whether the distance of the light source from the object affects the size of the shadow. We found that the closer the light source, the larger the shadow.
Shakespeare Workshop
Today, 3M enjoyed a Shakespeare workshop. We explored how to project our voices, showing respect feelings through actions
Year 3 Art Week
3McK have enjoyed drawing this art week. We studied the artist Keith Haring and created artwork inspired by him. We used coloured card and pastels to make our work pop!
