Year 3 have had a great time exploring and comparing mass, looking at the equivalent of kilograms and grams!
Today we have been learning about mountains in India and their mountain ranges; we learnt that there are 5 types of mountains and created a catchy rhyme to help memorise these. We focused on fold mountains and plateau mountains. To make our learning even more interesting and creative we built our own mountain ranges in […]
Here is some of our published work from our instruction writing this half term. We used imperative verbs, adverbs ending in -ly, the simple present tense and some of us also used adverbials of time.

Woodpeckers have been busy this term creating 3D sculptures; here are their final pieces!
We had a wonderful workshop delivered by Harper’s mum this week; linking in with our geography topic. Does the River always meet the Sea? We learnt lots about the causes of flooding and the dangers flooding can pose.
