Year 3 - Apricot Class
3rd November 2026
Geography
Apricot Class were very excited to begin our new Geography topic all about the UK. We identified the different countries in the UK and found the capital city of each one. We then used directional language to compare the location of the countries to one another.

Stone Age Day!
To celebrate our history learning this half term, Apricot Class enjoyed our Stone Age Day. Everybody came in fabulous costumes. We enjoyed creating cave wall drawings, making paper mammoths, a scavenger hunt and we even made a Stone Age dessert consisting of fruit and honey. We also discussed what life would be like for children in the Stone Age.

English
In English, Apricot Class have been exploring playscripts. After reading the playscript of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, we identified the features needed. We recognised the importance of a character list, setting, dialogue and stage directions. Everybody worked well in partners to identify these features.

Science
This week, in Science, Apricot Class made a model of a hand to help us understand muscles and how they help us move. When we pulled the string, it made the fingers move, just like how our muscles pull on tendons to move our fingers in real life. Although it was tricky, everyone showed great resilience!

Art Week
As part of our Art Week celebrations, Apricot Class designed their artwork based on Pakistan. We took inspiration from Sadequain to produce our own pieces of unique art using shading pencils. Everyone showed great concentration as they completed their pictures.

Magdalen Farm
Apricot Class had a brilliant time at Magdalen Farm. Everyone enjoyed hunting for living things in the River Axe! After lunch, we enjoyed a variety of games linking to habitats and living things. We learnt lots of new knowledge while also demonstrating a great prior understanding. Great job Apricot Class.

Science
Apricot class have had a fantastic week! We have explored Stonehenge in History, used the egg shakers in our Music lesson and created fantastic line drawings using charcoal in Art. In Science, we explored what different animals eat. Everyone had a go at identifying if their selected animal was a carnivore, omnivore or herbivore. Everybody demonstrated a great understanding. Well done Apricot Class!
