English This Week 

In our English lessons this week, Year 3 have been learning some new skills to help us with our instruction writing next week. 

We started the week looking at fronted adverbials for time. After this, we recapped what we could remember about verbs and focused on a new type of verb - an imperative verb. The children like to know this as a “bossy verb”. 

We had a fun and interactive lesson on the mini whiteboards using our new skills to try and build cohesion in our writing. The children helped each other by editing their sentences together.

We learned how to spin and weave wool from a real sheep, how to use a rotary quern to grind corn into flour, how to make pots out of clay and how to play some fun Iron Age games. We even chose Iron Age names for ourselves and learned a little about Iron Age law and order!

Music - Week 1 & 2

 Air - Music Our topic in music this half term is 'Air'. In week one, we explored the musical term 'pitch' and the children listened to a piece of music, identifying some dramatic changes in pitch. This week was week 2 and we explored the musical terminology 'timbre' and 'dynamics'. The children enjoyed exploring different types of percussion instruments and the different sounds that they could create. They composed some short pieces of music, all about a cloud. They performed their compositions and the rest of the class described the mood that they had created through their music, using the new musical vocabulary, timbre and dynamics.
