Class 3 Term 2 ‘Roving Romans’ Homework Brochure
Year 3 have been busy learning about the Romans. We started this topic with a trip to the Corinium Museum. The children had an opportunity to dress up like Romans, make mosaics and play Roman games. They learnt an incredible amount both from the workshop and the galleries tour.
We followed our visit up with a loan box from the museum where the children were historians piecing together evidence to decide who artefacts had belonged to. They have produced some excellent topic homework of mosaic designs, adverts for Roman inventions and Boudicca art work.
In English, we recently completed the story ‘A Boy, a Bear and a Boat’.This unusual book about a voyage undertaken by a boy and a bear had us hooked, although we were a little surprised by the way it ended. The children produced some fantastic descriptive writing describing a storm at sea.
We linked DT to the story and the children were given a Dyson challenge to construct a cardboard boat that could carry 1kg. Many succeeded!
We are now reading I was a Rat!! By Philip Pullman. We have loved reading this book so far and have made an interesting connection to the story of Cinderella!

Class 3 Term 1 ‘Wonderful Water’ Homework Brochure
Year 3 and 4 took part in a Dyson Engineering boat design challenge. The challenge was to design and construct a boat from carboard that could carry a 1kg weight. Many succeeded, however we had a few sinkings! Here are some pictures of our testing:
Class 3 painted waterlilies in the style of Claude Monet. They had a limited palette of colours and weren’t provided with water so couldn’t rinse their brushes. They did a fantastic job of using similiar brush strokes and techniques. Here are some lovely examples:
We’ve had some high quality homework. There have been some impressive pieces produced on computers which look great and share some important messages about water safety.

Class 3 Term 3 Homework Brochure
Class 3 became history detectives! They investigated Stone Age artefacts loaned from the Corinium Museum. We found out what artefacts were and the difference between primary and secondary sources of evidence. The children handled the objects and had to decide what they were made of, what they were and what they could learn about life in the Stone Age from them.
Here are some photos:
Class 3 had an exciting forest school session where they made Stone Age bread then cooked it on an open fire. They also tried to make fire without matches, using flint. I think they all agreed it was pretty difficult!
At forest school we made Stone Age bread and these were the ingredients:
Water
Flour
Honey to sweeten it
It was really good. Have a go to see what it was like in the Stone Age

Class 3 Term 1 ‘A Seed is Sleepy’ Homework Brochure
The children have been improving their sketching and painting skills. They have learnt to make colours from primary shades and mix colours to closely match what they are painting. Below are some stunning examples of their art work. Welcome to our gallery!
Class 3 have been working hard to use poetic language devices such as similes, alliteration, personification, metaphors and repetition. Here are two beautiful examples describing a season in the city.
Class 3 have enjoyed the text a Seed is Sleepy and have produced poetry inspired by seed dispersal shown in this book and Flip, Float, Fly.
Here are their poems. We hope you like them!
