Our topic in Year 3 for History is World War 2. We have been learning all about the lives of children, in particular how children have to carry around gas masks to keep them safe. We listened to an audio of a class having a gas mask drill at school and decided we are lucky to not have to do that now! We loved making our own gas mask boxes and pretending to be children from World War 2.
Our first unit of Science is plants. To start off our lessons, we spent some time examining some plants and recapping the different parts of a plant and the functions each part has. Then we carefully drew and labelled the plants, looking carefully at the shapes, lines and colours of each part of the plant.
In Year 3, the children have been learning all about the human body. In this lesson the children have been learning about the skeleton and all the different bones. They were shocked at how many bones they have in their body and worked as teams to put bones together to make their own skeletons!
Our focus in English is to write a non-fiction leaflet about London to help Paddington get around safely. To do this we needed to learn different facts about London landmarks. What better way to do this than play top trumps about London! Great job Year 3-you learnt lots of new facts!
