National Numeracy Day
on Wednesday, we celebrated National Numeracy day by completing a special live stream quiz, thinking about where we use Maths in real life and some work with money and budgeting before being joined by a special guest from the University of Leeds!
WOW Barn
Year 3 we’re lucky enough to attend a very special event at the WOW Barn as part of the Leeds Year of Culture – all focused around gender equality. We took part in some fabulous activities, all led by some of the amazing women of Leeds!
Victorians in Our Local Area
This week, 3C have ventured on a local walk to the Seven Arches Aqueduct in Adel Woods. We then used natural materials to create some art work and did some observational drawing of some of the natural beauties in our local area.
Ready to brace the cold!
This week 3C have been applying our sewing skills to use of plans to template, cut, design and sew our very own pair of mittens! We had to engage Batman to persevere through threading the needle, a lot, as well as cutting the felt and sewing.
Easter Church Service
Yesterday we were lucky enough to go to St Stephen’s Church for an Easter Service with Reverend Sharon. We had a great walk over, learned about the Easter story and sang some songs together.
Zoom Call with Dagur
This afternoon, Year 3 had the pleasure of being joined by Dagur. A real Icelandic tour guide! Dagur was kind enough to give us his time to tell us all about Iceland. We had a chance to ask him questions about life, culture, tourism, geographical features in Iceland and much more.
We found out that there are no trains in Iceland! He was very impressed with the questions we asked. He even shared a story about witnessing a volcanic eruption!
Sewing the Northern Lights
In Art this half term we have been creating a piece of artwork inspired by the Northern Lights in Iceland. We used tie dye to create the scene and then started to sew a volcano on top, to really represent the beautiful island of Iceland!
Tree Planting
Today we have planted some new trees. They are five Hazels, five Rowans and five Crab Apples. Pupils from year 3 and 4 are pictured here. Hopefully the trees will be taller than them by the time they move into secondary school!
ACE Designers make mittens
Lord Sugar has challenged us to design and manufacture a pair of mittens to keep us warm and safe on a journey to Starjik’s cave.
We looked at good examples for market research and then moved on to creating some of our own designs, before being a critical and supportive eye for our friends.
