RTPSYear3A

We have had a very exciting morning with Birtley fire service! They came in to talk to year 3 about fire safety and the importance of smoke alarms. We then got to have a look inside the fire engine, some of us tried on some equipment and then we all had a go at holding the hose!

We have done some fantastic botanical weaving this afternoon as part of our new art project. We collected some materials from the forest then practised our weaving skills to create these lovely pieces!

We had a fantastic trip to Segedunum today! What a great way to bring our topic on the Romans to life!

In computing, we learnt how to use the ‘repeat’ command to make a turtle draw a square.

As part of our RE topic, we had a Zoom meeting with Imran, who told us all about Ramadan and how Muslims celebrate Eid.

Mrs Ingles and I have been so impressed with how much the Year 3 Parrots have improved their rounders skills this half term! Everyone, including Mrs Kane, has loved playing!

As part of mental health week, we rated our anxieties/worries then discussed strategies we could use to help ease those feelings.

Mrs Kane’s friend, Emma, came in to talk to the class today about her job. They tried to guess her job but it was a tricky one- she works with the NHS for a company who sell shoulder and knee replacements. The children had LOTS of great questions for her!

We had a lovely visit to Birtley library on Monday where we got to choose a ‘reading for pleasure’ book to take back and keep at school. We also listened to Judith read a couple of great stories!

In PSHE, we’ve been learning about how we should not believe everything we read and see on the internet. We looked at some images to see how they have been altered.

As part of our RE Day, we looked at the Holy Week which leads up to Easter Sunday.
