Year 3: 2022-2023 (Spring Term)
There were lots of Egg-celent eggs for our design competition this year! Didn’t expect to see myself in egg form with a can of Coke and a sausage roll@MissBrent @Miss_Carr_Falla @FallaParkSchool pic.twitter.com/t83neHsP1M

On #worldmathsday, Year 3 learnt a very important skill on telling the time. We learnt what each hand represented and that the numbers had two meanings! We created our own working clock with the double sided counters.@Miss_Carr_Falla @MissDoyle_Falla @FallaParkSchool pic.twitter.com/4uBzXd1Oqh

Year 3 have identified all the different careers that need maths. Who knew so many jobs needed maths? Is maths everywhere @MissDoyle_Falla? @FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla pic.twitter.com/GRplAp4Upr

Happy #worldmathsday! Year 3 have been thinking about who a mathematician is and what they need to be successful. We’ve learnt that everyone can be a mathematician as long as they try their best when they find it hard!@FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla @MissDoyle_Falla pic.twitter.com/gMosgyRg6M

We’ve had a busy afternoon in Science! We looked at the human skeleton, working together we identified different bones on our body before looking at them on our model skeleton.@FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla @Mrs_Crellin pic.twitter.com/9azmiBShAd

Year 3 looked at the relationship between multiples of 2, 4 and 8. We used spaghetti sticks to create equal groups of our divisor and recognised a pattern! We wonder what will happen when we can’t make even groups? @MissDoyle_Falla @Miss_Carr_Falla @FallaParkSchool pic.twitter.com/IOKOJL35FB

@FallaParkSchool smelt delicious as the children in Year 3 created their pizzas as part of DT. We practised our chopping and grating skills to create the most nutritious pizzas 🍕! They tasted amazing, if only we left some for @Miss_Carr_Falla! @Mrs_Crellin pic.twitter.com/21MjDUc9m9

Perseverance was needed this afternoon as the children in Year 3 used Digimaps to plot some Human and Physical features in Rome. We used the drawing tool to add colour coded markers and labels. We even learnt new Italian words 🇮🇹!@MrsYoungfp @Miss_Carr_Falla @FallaParkSchool pic.twitter.com/gYZkNgabK2

Year 3 are continuing their science topic on Animals and Humans. This week we explored what a balanced diet is. We searched for the nutritional value of products on the icy cold yard before plotting them on a graph.@Mrs_Crellin @Miss_Carr_Falla @FallaParkSchool pic.twitter.com/Y6hmKrJXc6

Yesterday the Year 3 classroom became an Italian restaurant as we evaluated a range of different pizzas as part of our DT lessons. Year 3 definitely do not like pineapple on their pizza!@Mrs_Crellin @FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla pic.twitter.com/SVxJMaHzPx

On #WorldBookDay the children in Year 3 designed their own covers to Anthony Browne’s ‘Into the Forest’. We used our charcoal skills from our previous art topic to create a scary atmosphere.@FallaParkSchool @MissBrent @MrsBarter_Falla @Miss_Carr_Falla pic.twitter.com/spb4krivRR

It is a Fri-yay feeling in Year 3 today after @Miss_Carr_Falla came to our classroom to share some special stickers for some fantastic diary entries!

A big thank you to our adults for attending our open event! The children enjoyed showing off their new skills in column addition and how fast they were on their iPads at TimesTable Rock Stars.

Year 3 were tasked to find the best soil for Mrs Hall to grow her vegetables. The children knew that they had to find a permeable soil so the nutrients could travel to the roots. @Mrs_Crellin @Miss_Carr_Falla @FallaParkSchool pic.twitter.com/b34Fg67I0t

Year 3 continued their art topic this week as we explored charcoal. The children had lots of tasks to do to see how they could mark make using charcoal. There were lots of messy fingers as we smudged to include light and dark shades. @MissBrent @Miss_Carr_Falla @FallaParkSchool pic.twitter.com/CSoSUH39Ya

This afternoon we had the chance to see our @daftasabrushcc ambulance! We were impressed with the bright colours and fantastic fairground drawings. We hope it puts a smile on other people’s faces too! @Miss_Carr_Falla @FallaParkSchool pic.twitter.com/IW04obMZMn

@Miss_Carr_Falla was on the Masked Singer?@Miss__McVeigh is in Steps? I own Greggs? Well if you believe everything you see online then you wouldn’t be shocked! Luckily Year 3 knew those posts weren’t reliable so made some tips to help others! @FallaParkSchool #SaferInternetDay pic.twitter.com/RK3T5CoRM6

Today Year 3 travelled back in time with @MrsHallFalla as we visited Forest School. We explored how those in the Palaeolithic lived and even ate some fish fresh from the fire. @Miss_Atkinson4 @Miss_Carr_Falla @FallaParkSchool pic.twitter.com/6LkojNW0xv

Today the children in Year 3 started their topic on Rocks in Science. Our skill objective was to classify our rocks into groups, we did this by completing different experiments and sorting them into groups based on their results.@FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla @Mrs_Crellin pic.twitter.com/ffN9KYaQGg

In maths the children in Year 3 have been exploring Right Angles. Today we created our own irregular 2D shapes so we could include a Right Angle as one of our properties. We even got to eat our marshmallow vertices! @FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla @MissDoyle_Falla pic.twitter.com/BZBPuVPXHL

The children in Year 3 became archaeologists as we learnt the importance of their role in discovering Pre-Historic Britain. Just like archaeologists we had to be careful when excavating our important artefacts, Smarties!@Miss_Atkinson4 @Miss_Carr_Falla @FallaParkSchool pic.twitter.com/mY2jSD6USE
