This week has been Health and Wellbeing week and Arts week. In art, we have been learning about the artist Carl Giles and created our own cartoon picture. Here are some examples of our art work so far.
In music, last term we learned the song 'Three Little Birds' by Bob Marley. We sang the song and played along with glockenspiels. We also learned how to sign the song. This week we will be learning a new song 'Bringing us Together' and also learning how to sign this song. Here are some pictures of the children signing.

Today was World Book Day and our focused book was 'Dreamer'. The children in school and at home read the book and then we looked at endangered animals around the world. We researched why they were endangered and how many were left in the world. All the children really enjoyed learning about this and were shocked at how many animals are at the risk of becoming extinct. We then created fact files of some of the animals and created our own Dreamer story. Here are some pictures of some of the work done in school. Some of the children at home are bringing in their work to display on Monday. We also had a lovely chat with some of the children at home and played 'Who am I?'.

The Year 3 children have been learning about rocks and the rock cycle. To help show how rocks are formed and how the rock cycle works, some children at home and those in school made chocolate rocks. It was a lot of fun and very tasty.
Here is how we demonstrated the rock cycle :
Step 1 - Create some magma by melting all of the chocolate. Allow it to flow, like lava which has erupted from a volcano. Allow your lava flow to cool so that you have a solid igneous choc rock!
Step 2 - Expose your chocolate rock to the harsh conditions of the Earth’s surface, or in this case, a cheese grater! Erode your rock and turn it into chocolate ‘sediment’. Your sedimentary rock will be made up of three different sedimentary layers: chocolate sediment, cocoa pop sediment and marshmallow sediment.
Step 3 - This step requires a little more imagination than the previous steps. You cannot add enough sedimentary layers to generate enough heat and pressure to alter our ‘sedimentary rock’. We need an oven to do this for us. Fold the mixture and this misshapen feature looks quite a lot like those found in metamorphic rocks.
Step 4 - Enjoy your chocolate rocks.
Here are some pictures of some of the children at home and in school.

During the Autumn term, Year 3 looked at the different types of natural disasters. The whole class really enjoyed the topic with lots of children continuing their studies at home.
In English, we also wrote our own story based on a natural disaster and the book 'The Flood'.
In Geography we looked at the Earths layers, created a model of the earth and even exploded our own volcano.

To conclude our topic on the Ancient Greeks, Year 3 worked in groups to research and create a poster to present to the class. Each group were given a different topic to research and they used their own knowledge of what they had learnt, books and ipads to make their poster informatative. The finished posters and presentations were amazing.

In RE, Y3 have been investigating the following question: How and why do Christians serve God?
As part of this learning, we invited Reverend Hall in to speak to the class to find out about his vocation.
We asked him:
*Why do you serve Jesus?
*How does it feel to serve God?
*Why do you serve God?
*How long have you served God for? Do you like it?
*What are the most difficult and easiest parts of your job?
*Have you ever seen God?
Reverend Hall explained that he was ordained as a vicar 50 years ago this year and next year it will 50 years since he trained to be a priest. He talked about how God spoke to him when he was 18 and said he wanted him to be a minister. Christians believe that God speaks to us in a quiet way or can help us to think what is right.
Although he is now retired, he still serves the community in churches and in schools.

Year 3 have settled into the juniors well. In Maths, we have been looking at Place value and number lines to 1000. The children worked in pairs, finding numbers to 1000 on a number line.
They used place value cards and counters to understand the value of each digit.
On Thursday and Friday, we added and subtracted 1, 10 and 100 to a 2 and 3 digit number.

We had an amazing day today at Martin Mere Wetland Centre. The children saw a variety of wildlife and we even managed to feed some of the birds in the Waterfowl Gardens. After our walk, we were taken by the guides to the Wild Walk were the children identified different species of plants. We even walked to the Wetland area to look out over the wetlands. At the end of the day, the children enjoyed a play on the play area.

The year 3 and 4 children had lots of fun in their science workshops this week.

Lots of fantstic results through their hard work!

On Friday, Year 3 were lucky enough to be asked to plant trees in our school field. The Mersey Forest organisation and one of St Helens Park Rangers came to help us. We planted many saplings which will grow to help our environment.
