This half term in Year 3, we have continued to develop our love of reading. We enjoyed learning creating our own stories based on texts such as Mini Rabbit Not Lost as well as writing explanation text’s based on our school trip.

As Historians, we have been learning all about the Romans. We have learnt about the story of Boudicca and enjoyed learning about the beliefs of the Romans, and were very interested to discover that some names of the months, are named after their Gods and Goddesses. Also we really enjoyed our school trip to St Albans Verulamium, we learnt about Roman architecture visiting both the Roman Wall and the Hypocaust. We loved our market session in the museum, learning all about the differences between Celtic and Roman clothes and exploring the food, clothes, metal work and household objects that could be bought at Market. We then continued our learning in a museum tour.

In Science we have been learning about ‘Forces and Magnets’ learning about the North and South Pole of a magnet and exploring how they attract and repel objects and materials. We have also explored how pushes and pulls can affect the start and stop movement. We have learnt about friction, and how different surfaces affect the speed that an object moves.

In RE, we have been learning about the story of Easter as well as the traditions linked to Easter for Christians. All of our learning culminated in a trip to St Barnabus Church, where we watched a retelling of the Easter story as well as discussing new life. In French, we have been learning about objects in a French classroom as well as beginning our journey into learning about masculine and feminine words.

Well done for all of your hard work this term Year 3!
