Healthy Eating

Year 3 have been learning about healthy eating in a range of subjects. In science they have been looking at the impact of healthy eating on their body and the food groups on the healthy eating plate. In PSHEE, they looked at how they can make choices regarding healthy food and healthy life styles along with how we can change our habits.

During the Design and Technology sessions, the children worked in groups to research, design and make a healthy snack that could be used in school. They then had a tasting session where they were able to try all of the different snacks created and then evaluate.

Weaving

During the half term, year 3 have been developing their weaving skills. They started large by weaving the school fences in brightly coloured ribbon. This helped to develop their understanding of weaving. They then moved on to weaving paper to create hearts, used rags to weave with different textures, wool to weave a basket and finally thin ribbon to create their Christmas cards.

Diwali Dance

To develop understanding of Diwali, all of the children in school took part in a Diwali dance session. Year 3 enjoyed using dance and drama to tell the story of Rama and Sita.

Fire Service

As part of the Health and Wellbeing strand of PSHEE, Year 3 had a visit from the Fire Service. They learnt about the role of a firefighter, the uniform and breathing apparatus used and the equipment within the fire engine. As part of the session, the children had a discussion about the importance of smoke alarms within the home and what to do if there is a fire.

Visit to the Beacon

During our visit to The Beacon, we handled artefacts and observed the change and continuity in these objects from The Stone Age to the Iron Age. It was so interesting!

Visit to St Peter’s Church

As part of our R.E learning, we visited St Peter’s Church and met Reverend Jones. We were able to identify the features of the church, discuss how and why Reverend Jones became a vicar. She also told us about belonging to the Christian community.
