Year 3 (Beetles)

Hello Year 3!

This week is the final week of the term!  While it will be a little different to normal, I have tried to include some of the fun activities that we would have been doing at school into your home learning.  I hope that you enjoy them!

This has been a strange couple of months, and you have done a great job of persevering with your learning at home, but we really hope that we can see you in school again soon.  We're crossing our fingers that everything remains on the right track so that everyone can come back in September.  Don't forget to contact me one last time so that I can mark you off on our contact register, and remember that I am here to help if you need me.  Just email me at nwebb@wilstead.school

Keep smiling, and stay safe.  We are so proud of you all for working so hard.

Mrs Webb

Lockdown Poem

Life at home has been hard

Inside all the time
Feeling low and missing friends

Everyone is in the same boat.

All around us is silence

Then slowly we all emerge

Hours tick by slowly

Overcoming boredom by keeping busy

Making sure everybody is ok

Eventually life will return to normal

By Miss Jennings

Christmas Adverts

Year 3 have finished the term by working in groups on a Christmas advert project. They all watched different Christmas adverts and evaluated how they were effective. They then worked together to come up with an idea for their own advert, planned different shots they would need to film and then finally filmed themselves. The last step was using iMovie to edit and put the different parts together. 

Some of them were very funny but all the children worked hard to put their adverts together.

Trip to Tring

On Tuesday 12th November Year 3 travelled to Tring Natural History Museum to learn about skeletons. The children explored 5 different skeletons, answering questions about what they could see and guessing what the skeletons were. They did very well and guessed most of them correctly. The trickiest skeleton was the squirrel which only 1 group got correct!

After the science workshop, the children then explored the whole museum completing questions about different animals skeletons answering questions about why we have skeletons and how different animals skeletons are different.

A great day had by all!
