After an extremely busy first term in the Junior School, and a great start to the New Year, here is an overview of what Year Three have been up to over the last three months!!
D&T Salads
For our first D&T
topic of the year, we were looking into what we need to think about to stay
healthy and why it is so important to maintain a balanced diet. The children's final task was to design and make their very own healthy salad. Here are the
final products!
History
During History last term, we were studying the Stone Age and were lucky enough to handle real tools which had been used
thousands of years ago! The children worked together to think of sensible
questions that would help us find out more about the tools. It was very exciting!
RE Week
Luckily for all of the children at
Cunningham Hill Junior School, Miss Kropman spent a long time over the half
term organising an exciting week of RE. For this, we were focusing on happiness
and what this means in different religions and communities. At the end of the
week, the children worked in groups to create film trailers demonstrating how
when we work together, we are able to overcome our troubles and find happiness.
Here is our whole class example…
St Paul’s Church
During RE week, we went
out for the afternoon to visit St Paul's Church. We all really enjoyed exploring
the church and taking part in the workshops.
Verulamium Trip
In the final week of
term, we set off on our trip to Verulamium where we spent time exploring the
museum and then had an interesting and interactive workshop investigating
different Roman artefacts.
Still Life
In Art last term, we
started our study of still life paintings of fruit. Here is a sample of some of our final pieces:
CHILL OUT
Here are some pictures
from Highfield Park taken last week when Year Three went searching for
inspiration for their up and coming D&T project.
