Year 3<br />
Year 3 have been focusing on Art this half term and have looked at local and worldwide<br />
famous artists. We have been learning about Alfred Wallis, Glyn Macey, Kit Johns and Vincent<br />
Van Gogh. The children have compared the work of the artists and have noted similarities and<br />
differences in their work. They have then recreated their art work and have created some of<br />
their own landscape drawings and paintings. The children have enjoyed walking around the<br />
class ‘gallery’ stating what they like about each other’s pictures. The children have really<br />
enjoyed their art sessions and have created some great pieces of artwork.<br />
In English we have been learning about Acrostic poems and have used our new knowledge of<br />
adverbs, alliteration and similes to write our own poems. We then performed these to the rest<br />
of the class and shared them with children in Year 5.<br />
In PSHE we have been learning about different ways to communicate with others, talking<br />
about people we can trust and celebrating differences within people. The children enjoyed<br />
learning some sign language in class and they really enjoyed watching a performance at the<br />
Community Centre by a group called Arthur’s Club, who told us three stories all using sign<br />
language.<br />
This week was also our last gymnastics session at Penzance Gym club and we finally got to<br />
have lots of fun in the foam pit! Thank you to Penzance Gymnastics Club for supporting us<br />
and the use of your equipment.
