Welcome to Year 3!

WOW Day

Autumn 2:Urban Pioneers!

What an incredible start to our new topic! 

Year 3 started with an exciting walk around the school grounds, discovering a variety of graffiti styles that sparked a wave of curiosity and creativity. The vibrant street art inspired us to explore the different techniques and expressions found in graffiti culture.

We designed our own name tags using range of fonts and styles, adding a spray paint effect with coloured tissue paper to bring them to life.

We also explored the work of one of the iconic street artist 'Bansky', whose artwork is proudly displayed in our school 'Girl With The Red Balloon.'

Take a look at our pictures below to see the creativity in action!

Gods and Mortals: Autumn 1

Our Learning

This term, Year 3 have focused on the fascinating world of the Ancient Greeks. In History, we explored the various Greek gods and goddesses, learning about their unique roles and significance. In English, we let our imaginations run wild by inventing our own mythical creatures and crafting original myths, enriched with adjectives. 

To deepen our understanding of key Ancient Greek cities, we named our table groups after them, bringing history to life in our classroom.

We also designed and sculpted our very own Greek vases out of clay. Take a look at the photos below to see our amazing creations!

Project Homework 

This Autumn term, everyone in the class brought in fantastic project homework to showcase their learning about Ancient Greece.

The work included creative arts and crafts representing the gods they researched, fascinating facts, beautifully crafted Greek pottery, impressive city models, and key historical events from the Ancient Greek era. We also enjoyed a brilliant PowerPoint presentation from Samuel, packed with information about the Greek gods and goddesses.

WOW DAY!

We kicked off our new topic with an exciting journey back 2,700 years to Ancient Greece! The children had the opportunity to explore the different artefacts from the Farnham Museum, sparking curiosity and wonder. To bring the experience to life, we flew to Greece by creating our own passports and boarding passes, ready for an imaginative adventure to this beautiful country.

Out in the playground, we held our very own Olympic Games, which was a brilliant way to explore the similarities and differences between the ancient and modern Olympics. We also delved into the world of Greek pottery, looking at the pictures, colours, and styles.
