Year 3 have really enjoyed their clarinet lessons which have been taking place every Thursday! We have had so much fun and are beginning to play different notes independently! 

Year 3 have been using clay to create their own Greek plates! We looked for design ideas and then created our own. We used sticks to carve our patterns and pictures into the clay. We are waiting for our clay to dry so we can paint our plates! Watch out for updates on Twitter @BoarshawP 

Year 3 created a Greek dance to please the Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Greece! They decided to use the famous myth of Theseus and Minotaur and performed their dances to music!

This week in English we have been learning about Greek Myths. We really enjoyed listening to the myth about Theseus and Minotaur! We ordered the events from the myth and used our key vocabulary to perform it for our peers! We have some great actors and actresses in our class! 

Year 3 celebrated and found out about Islam on World Religion Day. We tried eating traditional sweets, which is a way Muslims usually begin Eid celebrations. The children really enjoyed dressing up in traditional Muslim clothes and looking at how the 'wudu' (the washing before prayer) is…
