Year 3 Looking Back and Forth 15/10/21
Friday 15th October 2021 – Looking Back & Forth in Year 3
Looking back:
We have had an incredible week this week, being creative, productive and quite the engineers. Designing and creating our own t-shirt designs, inspired by African surface pattern design, has been something so different to experience and we have loved it! We have completed our mystery stories and made our own journals, written poetry to encourage visitors to tour Africa and all its treasures, have presented facts about Africa from a geographical point of view, have learned out to present a historical timeline of Africa’s fascinating past which was quite tricky, we have built our own African creature in Design and Technology and finally, taken part in a whole class African inspired dance!! That’s just alongside everything else – what a week!!!
Well done Class 3 for being won-der-ful!!!
