Year 3 - Lion & Tiger Class
Lions visited the first of their two trips to Brean beach yesterday. We did a bit of beach mindfulness, beach sculpture and after lunch, we went rock pooling. Great fun!
A poet came to visit our class last week.
Jubilee Week
The children have had a wonderful week learning about the Queen. They have investigated the Royals and their love of sport. Did you know the Queen owns over 100 race horses? They researched information about the Queen and her life and drawn portraits of her. The children made and rode horses and learnt our 1980s 'Eye of the Tiger' dance.
It was lovely to be able to welcome you back into school this week to see the children's work.
Thank you for all the donations to the tea party - you are very generous.
Have a lovely week and see you all on June 6th

Homework expectations
KS2
Children in Y3- Y6 have the following homework each night. Please record in the children’s yellow books that all the tasks have been completed. If your child wishes to do more homework or spend longer on each task, or complete their own tasks afterwards, this would be excellent! Please note, additional tasks linked to other subjects may be sent out by class teachers.
10 minutes of reading aloud
10 minutes of TT Rockstars or Doodle practice for those with a log in
10 minutes of spelling practice
A wonderful effort made by all today for World Book Day. We enjoyed reading some of our favourite books, making bookmarks and designing front covers.
Around the World
In Tigers this week we have been learning about the country Afghanistan. As part of this we made our own kites and had lots of fun creating our own wind.
Our kites
Around the World
In Lions we have learning about the countries we come from and in particular Turkey. We found out about the country, learnt some words and tried some Turkish Delight - yum! We also designed some mosaic style tiles.
Our dragon adventure stories
Our Maps and Compass worksheet was so much fun. The children used maps to find treasure and enjoyed learning how to use a compass.
Merry Christmas to all. Thank you for your support so far this year.

Y3 trip to Robert Blake Museum
We had a great afternoon visiting the Robert Blake museum this afternoon. We learnt lots about him, his life and his achievements. The children were also able to visit the Bridgwater history rooms within the museum and see lots of amazing artefacts from the past. We used the walk there and back to continue our quest to find out more about Robert Blake and we were surprised to see how many things in and around the town were named after him. He has a statue, a chip shop, guest house, a street and a school!
Do do you know why he was a local hero?
21.9.21 Science Rocks and Fossils Workshop
Year 3 children enjoyed the visit from the museum to learn more about rocks and fossils to support their Science work on Tuesday. They sorted rocks, tested how porous some rocks are, took rock rubbings and had a game of bingo! 
17.9.21 The Invisible
The children have enjoyed reading the text 'The Invisible' by Tom Percival over the last two weeks. We have explored the story, written descriptive pieces and considered how it feels to be invisible. As our final piece we wrote some acrostic poems about Isabel.
13.9.21 Cave paintings
We have been studying figurative drawings and rock art in Art. Here is the website of the ancient caves we looked at today! I wonder what you will find inside!
