Year 3 have been experimenting with sketching pencils. We have been drawing light and dark lines, thick and thin lines and smudged lines. We are going to use sketching pencils in our Lowry art work. Mrs Lowe joined in the task in her sketch pad

Today, Year 3 have been starting to learn about the artist. L. S. Lowry. We found out that he grew up in Manchester and painted lots of pictures of people and factories. 

This afternoon we have had lots of fun completing a science quiz. It created lots of talking points and we enjoyed finding out the answers. Here is the link if you would like to have a go at the quiz yourself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OLdx6ffpPM

This afternoon Diana from NISCU came into Y2 to talk to us about how Jesus can change people’s lives. She told us some stories from the Bible and brought some puppets with her. We enjoyed doing actions to the stories and acting some out.

We have enjoyed sharing some stories with each other. When we had finished reading the books we wrote messages about them and packaged them up. Then we took them out of school and hid them for other people to find. What is your favourite book?

In class, we have been working with our learning partners to proof read and edit our farm stories. We looked for errors and ways we could improve our stories.

We have been creating pictures in the style of Monet using 2paint. We have looked at how to change the depth of the colours and change the size of the brushes to create a picture based on the Monet painting ‘The Bridge at  Giverny.

We have been trying to work out how to measure wiggly lines. We used string to help us. It was quite tricky but we did it!

We had great fun this afternoon Building our cars. We made them for explorers and some were space themed, some were underwater cars and some were jungle cars. It was lovely to have so many adults in class to help. A good time was had by all.
