Welcome to the Year 3 page of Cashes Green. Please read on to find out important information about the class and the exciting things we are doing in school.

We are nearly at the end of our first term of Year Three! The children have settled in beautifully to the juniors and have been working so hard on our learning. The class are really excited to show off all they have been doing in our class assembly on Friday!

 

English

In English we have been learning all about the features of a past tense non-chronological report. We have looked at different examples and then written our out one all about the Stone Age. 

Maths

In Maths we have continued learning about addition and subtraction.

Science

In Science we have consolidated all of our learning this term by making a poster featuring all of our key knowledge. We have also started our final investigation; using salt to see how minerals form crystals.

 

History

In History we have been learning all about the Stone Age. We have focused on the discovery of the Red Lady of Paviland and the Cheddar Man, and thought about what they can teach us about prehistoric life. We have also learnt about all of the changes that occurred over the course of the Stone Age, starting with the use of simple tools and shelter in the Palaeolithic and ending with the invention of farming and permanent settlement in the Neolithic.

Another fortnight has flown by! We have had a great time doing our learning in Year Three 

English

We have now finished re-writing our version of Stone Age Boy. We changed the ending by imagining how Om, a girl from the Stone Age, would have reacted if she was in the modern day. We have been reading Stig of the Dump and it has given us lots of ideas!

 

Maths 

In Maths, we have finished our place value topic and started working on addition and subtraction. 

Science

 

We have really been enjoying our science lessons so far this year! We have been testing properties of rocks, exploring what soil is made from, and learning how fossils are made (using chocolate to represent millions of years of soil and sand!).

Outdoor Learning

We have been very lucky to be visited by Rosie from the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust, who has been teaching us about nature and habitats. Year Three especially enjoyed meeting a taxidermy badger and had lots of great questions!

Welcome to Year Three! The children have had a wonderful start to the term and are already getting stuck in to their leaning.
