As part of their Egyptian topic, Year 3 made Ancient Egyptian bread. The children had to use the scales to accurately weigh the ingredients and measure the capacity of liquids using a measuring jug.
They then combined their ingredients and the kneaded their dough and made a small roll each. We then created our own oven using a cardboard box and tin foil and baked our bread in there. The bread was delicious!
Year 3 have been working hard to create their own Egyptian masks in art. The children used papier-mâché in order to create their structure, they then painted their masks gold and used blue paper and black pens to add the additional details. Their completed masks look amazing!
This week, we had a visit from some very speical guests which included Winnie, Willow, Wally and Mr Wilson. The children from all year groups were fascinated by these amazing and beautiful creatures. They were able to touch and stroke them, feeling how very soft their feathers were and some children were also even able to have a hold of them.
Year 3 have taken part in CAFOD’s National Assembly, Fratelli Tutti. They learned about Pope Francis’ letter which asks us to recognise our brothers and sisters in need, around the world. He wants us to build a better world for the benefit of all. After watching this, the children thought about how they could share love and kindness with others both at home and with our global family.
As part of their Science topic, Year 3 have taken apart some plants. The children had to discover all of the parts of the plant and place them on their sheets. They then went on to discover the scientific names for the different parts of plants and their functions. The children even managed to find some seeds in the soil!
