Arts Week

We have been having an exciting time taking part in arts week.
The children have taken part in Dancing, Photography, textiles, drawing, DT and sweet making as well as learning about the origins of Bollywood.

A group of childen have been making Fish beanbags and their skills in sewing and threading needles have been quite remarkable for children of such tender years!!.
Here are some photos of them working - watch this space, more to follow.

Riddle poems

In Y3, we have been writing animal riddle poems.We chose an animal, and wrote some clues to describe the animal.Can you guess what the animal in the poem below is? How many clues did you need?

Riddles poem

I have sharp claws,
and I sometimes growl.

I have big jaws,
and I like to prowl.

I have a golden coat of fur,
I like to eat meat.


I am a lion!!

Green Fingers

This term Y3G are finding out all about plants in science and will be growing them from seed.
On Tuesday the 21st April (which was the first day back for the children after the Easter holidays) we all planted a sunflower seed in a pot of damp compost. We are gong to keep a record of how each seed germinates and how the plant develops and we will keep you posted with our results on the blogspot.
Eventually we will be planting our sunflowers in the border at the front of the school like we did last year.
We must remember to take some photographs this year!

Talking Tins!

In our ICT assembly slot today our class demonstrated Talking tins.
We have been using them this term to help us learn Spanish words.
We worked in small groups to learn Spanish words for numbers and colours, we found the talking tins really helpful.

Y3 Mother's Day cards.

Y3G have been making Mother's Day cards this week and we showed them in our sharing assembly on Friday. We also foud out how it was that Mother's day began way back in the sixteenth century when maids and servants were given the day off to visit their mothers!

Y3G have been busy!

Following on from last week's book week, we made up our own mini-books based on the Anglo Saxon period which we have been studying in History. We found out lots of interesting information which we included in our books. Things like the names of the days of the week which are Anglo Saxon in origin and also place names ending in -ton
, -ing and -ham (Luton, Chessington and Birmingham) as well as many others. We also noticed that there is one single Anglo Saxon wooden church still in existence, (all the others have long since rotted away) and it stand in a little town called Ongar which is only 11 miles away from Hainault. Our teacher Mr. G knows Ongar very well since he lived there for five years.
