Year 3 are extremely proud of their Design & technology projects.
They investigated cushions, designed their own and learned how to sew using running stitch and cross stitch to use applique.
We think they are fabulous!
Y3 enjoyed visiting the Great North Museum to look at real artefacts from Ancient Egyptian times. They also recapped their science learning about rocks and soils during a workshop by a geologist. They were very engaged in finding facts about the Egyptians and loved seeing real mummies!
Today Y3 were historians and investigated artefacts from pre-history from the museum. They discussed which era they were from and justified their opinions using their historical knowledge.
Wow! What a fabulous geography day on the River Tyne Y3 have had! They looked at features of the river, visited the North East Maritime Museum to see how boats are built and restored. They travelled on the ferry to North Shields. Some of us looked at books about rivers The Word. Outstanding engagement & behaviour. Huge thanks to our volunteers and drivers for helping us too.
Y3 learned all about activities that were done for survival in the Stone Age. They did a timeline walk, collected wood to make shelters, used archery skills to catch prey, made bread and butter to cook on the campfire and worked as a team. Fabulous engagement!
Y3 were so excited to create their own paints like gatherers from the Stone Age to create their art using mixed media and drawing skills. They discussed why cave paintings may have existed. They were very engaged and enjoyed tasting the blackberries too! were so excited to create their own paints like gatherers from the Stone Age to create their art using mixed media and drawing skills.

Maths
Today, we worked in teams of 4 to solve problems linked to Place Value. We worked silently to match the cards showing different representations of numbers. We were only allowed to help our team mates non- verbally until we each had 4 representations of our given number. We had a great time practicing our problem solving skills (as well as turn taking and communication skills).
Y3 travelled back in time to the Stone Age at West Boldon Lodge. They were busy building shelters, making spears and making and cooking bread and completed a timeline walk. Well done Y3
