Year 3 Blue have been learning to thumb the map and locate their position on the map in relation to the features placed around the room. The children then worked in pairs to create a trail on the map and their partner had to follow it.
Year 3 Green continued working on their orienteering skills this week as well. Today’s focus was developing good communication skills and working in teams . The teams divided into pairs and one member had to direct the other member of their team who were blindfolded across an obstacle course. A lot of trust was required for this activity. Halo and Bradley were our sports stars of the week.

This term in music, year 3 are practicing their rhythmic skills using different instruments to the song “we’re going around the world”, this is a song based on different countries where the children are playing in time to the music to the style of the musical instruments specifically used by that country.
Year 3 are continuing their computer lessons by creating branching databases, this encourages children to group things based on attributes and using yes and no answers.

Year 3B checked in to see how they were getting on with their goal to carry out little acts of leadership. Well done to the children who have returned their booklets and shared how they felt during the challenge.
We thought about what qualities our super hero leader would have. We thought about what our super hero mission would be.
Encourage others to recycle, smile at others or help to keep the environment tidy,
Today we have our session with Chris Reddy. Y3G brought their community leadership challenge booklet back and we talked about how they felt when they had completed their different tasks. Today our focus was , ‘ How you can live life like a superhero?’ We talked about different superheroes and how they help the community. We learned that all of us are superheroes and have superpowers. Then we gave ourselves our superhero name, describe our job and mission in the life on a poster that we will complete in next workshop.
This term we are focussing on orienteering. We started our P.E lesson with warm up and playing tig. This week Y3G practiced their team work by using different communication skills. They ordered themselves in different ways on the benches encouraging and practicing their balancing skills.
Elijah and Maisie were our Sports Stars of the week 🌟 🌟
This year the art day linked to The World Book Day. The children worked hard on different art projects. Y3G designed and created different style of leaves. Their work will be displayed at the new library in Farnworth. The Exhibition is on 14th March, Saturday. All children are invited.
This afternoon, Year 3 have been getting creative.
They were given a leaf template to cut out, and using wax, wrote on the leaf about their aspirations and what they would add to Farnworth to make it a better place.
The leaf was then painted over so that that their wax designs stood out.
The children had some amazing ideas and showed their caring sides, ideas such as wanting to be a teacher, owning a chocolate factory and cattery. To make Farnworth better some would show kindness, make country parks, more hospitals and homes for the homeless.
These art projects will be displayed at the new Farnworth library on the 14th March.
