Welcome to the Year Three class page! This is the place to find the latest news and useful information from Year Three.
In art we have been studying the colour wheel. We built upon our existing knowledge of primary/secondary colours by incorporating tertiary colours.
We made our own colour wheel using just the primary colours of red, yellow and blue.
We then created some still life artwork using complimentary colours. These are colours that are opposite each other on the colour wheel. We mixed different amounts of the colours to create hues.
In the coming weeks, we will be looking at complimentary colour art created by Vincent van Gogh and Theresa Paden. We will then recreate some of their famous paintings.
We were lucky enough to have a road safety session with a lovely man from Wigan Council.
He taught year 3 all about crossing the road safely and the importance of staying safe when riding a bike.
Year 3 have been enjoying their meditation sessions with Leanne from Purely Wellbeing.
We have been focusing on breathing techniques including belly breathing and teddy breathing. We’ve also had lots of fun playing sleeping lions!
Over the past few weeks, Coach David from Be Well has been teaching year 3 all about the importance of a healthy diet and exercise.
We have been learning the correct way to brush our teeth, how important it is to get enough sleep, why it is important to practise mindfulness, how many portions of fruit and vegetables we should eat each day and the size of a ‘portion’.
Year 3 have also been tasting a variety of fruit/vegetables and exercising with Coach David! Take a look at what we have been up to.
