Writing the Christmas Story

In addition to the Nativity performance, Year Three have been writing the story of Christmas. Below is Niamh's work:

A Video Call to Father Christmas

Last Wednesday, the Year Three children were very excited to take part in a video call with an extremely important person: Father Christmas himself.

The children asked lots of questions about his elves and the reindeer before Father Christmas discussed all the letters he had received.

It was extremely interesting and all the Year Three children are hopeful that they will get another visit on Christmas Eve.

Non-Chronological Reports 3LJ

The children wrote an information leaflet about their newly discovered (imaginary) animal.

Year Three Art

In art, the children have been learning about the artist L.S. Lowry.  After looking at lots of his paintings and sketching them, the children painted a picture of their own house.  All of the paintings were put together and created a giant piece of art work.  Well done Year Three!

Toothpaste instructions

3CD have worked incredibly hard writing instructions.  We thought about our use of adverbs of time and imperative verbs.  When we finished, we drew a picture to match each step.

Instructions

In English this week, we have been looking at instruction writing; how they are written and what makes a good set of instructions. As part of this, we followed a recipe for making a witch's sandwich. This was the outcome:

We are not sure that it looks particularly appetising, but it was an interesting recipe to follow. It would be great if the families of Year Three could have a look at other instructions at home. Perhaps they could even follow a recipe which creates something delicious!

Creative Art

3CD have been busy doing some optical illusion art work.  We used some of our favourite colours and each created a unique pattern.
