Year 3-Design and Technology: Busy Elves and Festive Pouches
In Design and Technology this term, our Year 3s have been transformed into busy elves, expertly working on a practical textile project: creating their own festive and functional pouches. This unit has allowed the children to build successfully on the foundational sewing skills they learned in KS1. They have carefully designed their pouches and mastered the running stitch, ensuring they sew with regular-sized stitches and that both ends of the thread are securely knotted. They accurately prepared and cut their fabric using a template, then used a running stitch to join the two pieces. Finally, they creatively decorated their finished pouches using the materials provided. We are incredibly proud of the hard work from our busy elves and are thrilled that their functional and aesthetic pouches will be showcased and ready for purchase at the upcoming school Christmas Fayre.
Year 3- R.E- Nativity Story Reflection
This afternoon in R.E., Year 3, focused on the Nativity story, reminding ourselves of the sequence of events. We paid attention to the moment the world first heard the news: when angels appeared to the shepherds in the fields, who then hurried down to visit the special baby. The children then used their imaginations to become investigative reporters, brainstorming and recording the imaginative questions they would ask the shepherds about what they saw, how they felt, and what it was like to meet the baby Jesus. It was a wonderful exercise in empathy and curiosity!
