School Life - In the Classroom >> Year 3 |
We can't quite believe that a whole term has passed, since the children in Year
3 started at St Ann's Heath. They have settled in really well and have turned out
to be a very hardworking year group.
A lot of our work this term has centred around our Ancient greek history topic,
with work being done in History, Art, Literacy and Geography.
The children's geographical skills wre put to the test when using maps to locate
Greece and its many islands and also to describe the physical landscape and weather
in the area.
In History, we asked the children to put many historical events such as the Tudors,
Victorians, World War II, Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece into chronological order.
This proved to be quite a difficult exercise with some interesting results!! They
have also had to research entertainment in Ancient Greek times, find out about the
various Gods and Goddesses and about the temples and buildings that the Ancient
Greeks would have had.
We had a Greek day where the children completed some art activities, such as making
Greek pots and using charcoal to complete the Greek alphabet. They also tasted some
Greek food.
It was lovely to see so many parents at our assembly and the children did a great
job of showing off their knowledge of the Ancient Greeks.
In Literacy, we have concentrated on story writing, where the children wrote their
own versions of the popular Horrid henry stories and have also been writing playscripts,
which were needed for our Ancient Greek assembly. The playscripts focused on two
Ancient Greek Myths: Odysseus and the Cyclops and The Twelve Labours of Heracles.
It has been a packed term and we hope the children all have a good rest over Christmas
holidays, so they are ready to start the Spring Term wth great energy, in January.
