In Autumn 1, year 3 have been exploring pitch with chime bars. They have been listening to and appreciating music and noticing where the pitch gets higher and where the pitch gets lower. They have learnt how to hold a beater and use the chime bars. They have learnt to play along with the song ‘elevator’ and ‘once a man fell in a well’.
3H had such an incredible day at Murton Park! We enjoyed living and working as people in the Stone Age would have.
We made Stone Age pottery and used sticks to add details. Stone Age people used pots to express themselves so each of our pots are unique to us.
We were archaeologists as we sketched some Stone Age items like tools and spears.
We also created a class cave painting!
We hunted wild boars, deer and bears! We had to be quiet and use hand signals to communicate with each other so we didn’t scare the animals away. We had a great time throwing our spears! Watch a video of a group being lead to hunt:
When farming, we had 3 activities. We used tools to farm and turn the land over ready for planting. We wove wool to create fabric and ground grain to make flour.
We ended the day in a roundhouse, listening to a story around the fire.
Year 3 had an AMAZING time at Leeds Playhouse watching the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe!
We laughed, sung, ate snacks and had a wonderful time experiencing the Theatre together.
As part of our Bronze Age learning, we have been exploring The Beaker People and how they designed Beaker pots during the Bronze Age. We had a go at designing our own Beaker Pots. Take a look! We can’t wait to make clay pots at Murton Park.
As part of Anti-Bullying week, we have learnt a rap called Stop which is all about stopping bullying. We performed our rap today to Miss Peartree who is judging all the LKS2 classes. We can’t wait to find out who won!
Here we are looking cool for our rap.
Still looking cool as continue with our learning.
This week in our RE learning we have been exploring the story of Noah’s Ark. We acted the parts of the story out put ourselves in Noah’s shoes to ask questions to imagine what he may be thinking.
Noah building the ark
“I wonder how all the animals will fit in here…”
Noah welcoming the animals into the ark
“How will we survive on the ark?”
Noah and his family celebrating God’s promise
“I’m so glad I trusted God and his promise!”
3H have had a brilliant time swimming this week. What a lovely way to end the half term. They have persevered, challenged themselves and learnt new skills. Well done 3H!
Thank you so much to all the adults who made it to the Stone Age Workshop. It was lovely to see so many faces enjoying cave paintings, tool makings, beads and Stonehenge.
