In Year 3 our DT lessons have been focussed on using our textiles skills to make a pin cushion themed around the Tudor Rose. This week in our 2CanLearn session we worked with our adults to make our cushions. Here is Emily from the Nightingales one.

In the Foxes, Ellie has designed and created an Anglo-Saxon shield. She's decorated it with a dragon and added a foil centre to show the 'boss', which was the weakest point of the shield (also used to deflect blows from the enemy).
The Giraffe class have been studying the work of Vincent Van Gogh. Inspired by his sunflower paintings, we have created sunflowers using watercolour, pastels and pencils, which have been put together to create our own version of his work.
As part of our work on Krindlekrax by Philip Ridley, Ellie-May from the Flamingoes sketched an image of Ruskin, used powder paint to colour mix her work and later added phrases and words to describe his character.
During our Art and DT sessions, Scarlett, Felix, Maya, Hazel, George and Cadence from the Nightingales worked to cut and sew Tudor roses.
In our combined Art and DT project, Pearl, Imaan, Florence, Chloe, Ella, Archie and Adrian from the Macaws have sewn a beautiful Tudor Rose using a running stitch.
In Geography, Anna from the Cobras conducted research to find out everything she could about the weather in her chosen area. She then went on to present this in the class.

In Computing, as part of our unit of work on Spreadsheets, Layla and Riddhi from the Flamingoes worked together to create a party budget using the 2Calculate program on Purple Mash complete with formulae!
In RE, Bianca from the Cobras created beautiful illustrations of gods and goddesses from the Hindu religion. She was even able to show similarities and differences between the two.
In English, as part of our work on the text ‘Oliver and the Seawigs’ by Philip Reeve, Lexi from the Flamingoes produced an impressive 3-page leaflet on how to care for a Sea Monkey.
During English, Ava wrote a narrative story based on a traditional Viking story about Bodvar, a brave Viking warrior.
