What have we been doing?

Computing

In computing, Year Three have been recognising that a computer network is made up of a number of devices and can now explain the role of a switch, server, and wireless access point in a network.

Forces & Magnets

Year 3 have been exploring forces and magnets in science.

Celebrations Around the World

We have covered Thanksgiving, Eid and Dia de los Muertos. The children have taste tested hot chocolate, dates and cranberry sauce and made papel de picado, leaf wreaths and Eid cards.

Cave Drawings

The Year 3 children have enjoyed putting their sketching skills into practice by stepping into a cave much like in the Stone Age, using charcoal to show animals that would have been around at the time.
