Year 3 Vulgur Vesuvius assembly

A week ago, Year 3 performed their magnificent "Vulgar Vesuvius" assembly to the rest of the school and to their parents - It was an extravaganza of dance, song and some wonderful acting.

Combining the story of Tranio and Livia, (the only two survivors in the story we have been looking at "Escape from Pompeii") told with a modern twist on what should have happened that fateful day in August AD79... if the citizens all had TVs and the power of knowledge of course!

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.

Year 3 have been learning about different types of rocks. Granular, crystallised and fossilised. We looked at the formation of igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. The children were given an assortment of rocks and were asked to group the rocks according to their appearance. We then sorted the rocks correctly and the children were excited to see if their predictions were correct.

On Wednesday 1st May, 3WP visited the Jetavana Buddhist Temple in Handsworth as part of their RE studies - visiting local places of worship. We walked all the way from Welford to Booth Street and when we got inside, we had to take off our shoes, as the children do in many of their own places of worship. We decided that this was respectful, so we left our shoes by the front door. The head monk met us in the Temple and told us lots of interesting things about why he decided to follow Buddhism and how long it took him to be able to deliver teaching in his faith. The children asked lots of interesting questions about his beliefs, religious clothing and prayer. The children were very respectful at the temple and enjoyed the visit.
