Year3Beck

Last week Y3VH had a great time working with an artist and creating some lanterns for the Shiregreen Lantern Walk. They made frames from willow, covered them in tissue paper and then decorated them. #BeckYear3 #BeckArt

This term in Year 3 the children are learning about Sheffield and the Industrial Revolution. They went on a visit to the Shepherd Wheel and learnt about Grinders who were the people that sharpened knives. #BeckHistory #BeckYear3

Last week in Year 3 the children learnt about the importance of Remembrance Day. They created some poppy inspired artwork. #BeckPSHE #BeckYear3

Last week in 3CW we talked about things we are grateful for. We love the simple things; chicken nuggets, playtimes, sleep, most importantly friends and family. Zoom in to read everything we are grateful for, including Marvelous Mondays and Fun Fridays.

As a reward for a fabulous week 3CW have had a lovely afternoon being creative. We looked at the artist Georgia O'Keeffe and painted flowers in the her style. These will be going home to our mum's as a thank you for all they do for us.

Y3VH have enjoyed creating some cave art hand prints inspired by our work on the Stone Age. #BeckArt

Y3VH absolutely loved their residential to Whirlow Farm last week. They particularly enjoyed meeting and feeding the animals, completing a scavenger hunt and playing in the park.

@BeckSchool Year 3 have set up two science investigations relating to plants- What is the optimum amount of water a plant needs to thrive, and water transportation in carnations. Watch this space for results #BeckScience

Today, Y3SS have learnt the optimal conditions for a plant to grow. We then created posters showing off our new knowledge. Mr Smith was unsuccessful at keeping his plant alive! Can you do any better? sciencekids.co.nz/gamesactivitie… #beckscience
