Theseus and (the monster) books

Over the last two week, Y3 have innovated their Theseus and the Minotaur story that they imitated last half term. They worked hard to create their own mythical beast character in a build up and a resolution to the original story.
...We had Theseus and The Cyclops, Medusa, Chimera and Griffin.

When finished, they wrote 'blurbs' in no more than 30 words.  This was a challenge because it's never easy to summarise a whole story in such few words, but again, Welford children rose to the challenge and we had a range of fantastic, unique ideas that were all summaries of the story in very different ways.

Children then wrote VIPER questions on the story using question stems to share with Year 1 children.

Here are some photos to show how our books were created and then shared.

Greek Immersion Day

To welcome the children back and hook them into our new topic, Great Gods and Mere Mortals, Year 3 had a Greek immersion day. As soon as the children arrived in the morning, we dressed them up as Ancient Greek citizens. We created leafy wreaths to wear and sang Greek themed songs. In the afternoon, we took the children into the hall and treated them to a culinary experience featuring a range of greek delicacies such as olives, feta cheese and tzatziki.

Friction

Year 3 have been building their own cars in D.T. Once built they were used to investigate the effects of friction. to do this the children rolled the cars down a series of different ramps which each had a different surface texture. Sponge, wood, sandpaper and carpet. Before beginning their investigation they made a series of predictions about which surfaces would create the most friction. Then the fun began ! Take a look at the pictures below:

Stone Age Stewed Fruit

Year 3 have been studying instruction texts and as part of the process we made some Stone Age stewed fruit using a selection of fruits, hazelnut and honey as an added sweetener. The process not only allowed the children to get stuck in practically but also informed their own writing of instructions following the making of the fruit stew.
