Next, we learnt where Egypt is in the world, locating the River Nile and its capital city. The children particularly enjoyed finding out about the daily lives of Egyptians and the different Pharaohs throughout this period. We have learnt about the process of mummification and have built our own pyramids in Numeracy. Check out our busy learning in this topic.
Let There Be Light - October 2021
Over the last two weeks, Year 3 have been learning about the Science topic Light. First, the children recognised that we need light to see.

The children particularly enjoyed learning how light is reflected from surfaces and that shadows are formed when light is blocked by a solid object. Check out our busy learning in this topic.
Just Dance PE - October 2021
In PE we have been creating our own dance sequences linked to Just Dance. We used music to create imaginative movements and simple dances, and performed them in front of the rest of the class.
