Curriculum Week Year 3

Date: 1st Mar 2024 @ 2:41pm

This week Year three have been celebrating curriculum week.

The children listened to the story:

The children described the purple character in the story. They used similes and conjunctions to improve their writing.

Some of the similes they included were 'as cool as a cucumber, as round as a ball, as loud as a lion'.

They also tried to include different conjunctions such as; when, before, after, while and because.

Towards the end of the week the children wrote a speech from the Blue family introducing the colour Purple. They worked extremely hard on their handwriting and spelling skills. They used vocabulary linked to the type of character they were pretending to be.

The children also took part in drama where they used different techniques to act out the story.

During the afternoons the children took part in some art lessons. They practiced shading using coloured pencils and paint. They then created a picture of the purple character using their shading skills.
