Our learning of Stonehenge really inspired our artwork. The children produced their final piece ‘Stonehenge at Sunset’ after practising many skills in art lessons last half term. How beautiful they are!
The Mystery of Metal
The children have been excited to discover what our new topic for this half term is – The Mystery of Metal, a science based unit. They used their computing skills to go on a QR hunt, discovering clues about different metals. Why not ask them some of these questions and see if they can remember the answers?
– Which metal does Mexico produce the largest amount of?
– Which is the weakest metal on Earth?
– Which metal is used to make famous statueslike the Statue of Liberty?
We look forward to investigating metals and magnets in our science lessons this half term. You will soon see our knowledge organiser and curriculum information leaflet on our website.

A final plea from the Year 3 team please. As part of our DT this term, we are making pneumatic design systems and require cardboard boxes which have a lid attached. Teabag boxes are perfect for this. If you are able to send any empty teabag boxes in, we would appreciate it very much!
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do send us an email on year3@stmarksce.org.uk
