Below is our most recent blog. This includes a summary of the last two weeks including any important information for the coming weeks (reminders etc).
Festive vibes have started buzzing through the Year 3 classroom as the children have been working hard to prepare their own decorations to adorn the famous Christmas hoops. These will be hung in the hall to spread excitement for the St Luke’s Christmas fair this Saturday. With skill and creativity, the children planned their designs and carefully selected the most suitable materials. Discussions of colour mixing guided the paint preparations to create the right shade of green by mixing the right amounts of yellow and blue. Once all stars had been painted with a selection of red, green and gold, the children added further embellishments to their ornaments.
Once the glitter was dusted off the children could return their focus to the final section of our History topic – the Iron Age! A special visitor came to the Year 3 classroom to give a presentation on her studies and field work as an archaeologist. The children were very enthusiastic in the questions that they asked upon finding out about the archaeological digs that she has done and the artefacts that she has uncovered from the Stone Age and the Bronze Age. Many of the children were inspired by her career choice!
