This afternoon we learned some more about Florence Nightingale. We looked at the conditions in the hospital as she arrived and then talked about how she improved them. We worked with a partner to think of questions we would like to ask Florence about the hospital. Then we did some role play.

Here are some of our questions for Florence.

After our role play we learned about Florence Nightingale being called ‘The lady of the lamp’. We made our own lamps.

Can you remember the answers to these questions?
What was the name of the war?
Where was the hospital?
What did Florence Nightingale see when she first went into the hospital?
How did Florence Nightingale Nightingale improve the hospital conditions?
Why was she known as ‘The lady of the lamp’?

After working very hard learning about worms for the past four weeks, our Literacy topic has now changed. This week we have been reading a lovely Easter story called Max’s Chocolate Chicken. Today we worked in groups and thought about the characters in the story.

Following our fantastic assembly we had fun today making lots of things for our mums for Mother’s Day.

Remember, you can watch our assembly again here – click here.

Year 3 did a Mother’s Day Assembly this morning and wow it was terrific! The parents, who attended, were left emotional after the wonderful children in Year 3 touched hearts with some songs, humour and loving video messages.

Watch the assembly in full below. Also, watch our Year 3 children with messages to their mums.

This afternoon, whilst half the class went to Forest Schools, we enjoyed designing and painting a plant pot. On Friday we are going to plant a seed in them and watch how they grow.

We have worked very hard this morning completing our reading tests. This afternoon we worked with Miss Brown to draft a set of instructions to explain how to make a worm. On Thursday we will write up our instructions and see if other people can follow them.

This afternoon we made our own worms. Later this week we will be writing some instructions to explain how we did it.

Can you remember:
What did you use?
What did you do first?
How many instructions were there?
What are imperative verbs?
What time connectives did we use to start each instruction?

On Friday in Literacy we worked very hard to finish our explanation leaflets about worms. We had to make sure that we included all the features of a leaflet:
