Science
In Year 3 during Autumn 1, the science topic we focused on was Movement and Nutrition. One of the lessons was to explain how muscles are used for movement. We made a hand model to show the children how a real hand has muscles that shorten and pull the bone to move.
Crazy Hair Day
The whole school took part in ‘Crazy Hair Day’ to raise money for KS1 funds. We think they all looked fantastic!
Art
Throughout Autumn 1 during our Art lessons in Year 3 we were exploring different ways to create Art with charcoal. We had a heavy focus on the term ‘Chiaroscuro’ which means ‘light-dark’ to inspire the children for their final pieces. Laura McKendry was one of many artists that we explored leading up to the final pieces.
