Welcome to Rowan & Chestnut
Year 3
World Book Day
Welcome to Term 4!
Here is an overview of what we will be learning this term in addition to the KIRFs for this term. Please ask one of the Year 3 team if you have any further questions.
Safer Internet Day
Rocks, fossils and soil!
We enjoyed categorising rocks based on their properties. We then tested if the rocks would sink or float; if the surface was hard or soft (scratching with a nail), and using vinegar to see if there was a chemical reaction.
We explored how fossil are formed.
We looked at different types of soil. We conducted an experiment where we investigated how different soils absorb water.
Candlemas Service
Sewing
Sikh Visit
We were lucky to have Mr Singh visit our class. He told us what it is like to be a Sikh and what is important to him. Mr Singh explained that it is important to be thankful and to accept, not expect in life. He also explored the values of love and respect, and how it is always essential to tell the truth. We learned about the 5 Ks and were able to share what is important to us.
Welcome to Term 3
We hope that you had a wonderful Christmas. Here is an overview of the learning that will take place in Term 3, which we look forward to sharing with you. We have also attached the KIRFs for this term (Key Instant Recall Facts).
Any questions, please ask a member of the Year 3 team.
Big Christmas – Why is Christmas so important to Christians?
We explored this question by working through different zones. In the colour zone we explored this through artwork. In the word zone we were able to write short narratives, poems, prayers and sequence stories. The busy zones allowed us to use Lego and Playdough to create sculptures. We were also able to answer reflection questions such as why is Christmas so important to Christians, how do Christians prepare for Christmas and what does Christmas mean to Christians? In the chat zone we were able to read Bible passages and talk to an adult.
