Conscience Alley in Chestnut Class (Year 3)

This week in English we have begun learning about the story of Pandora's Box from ancient Greek mythology. We are aiming to write persuasive letters to Pandora, convincing her to either open the mysterious box from Zeus or keep it shut! 

We considered lots of ideas for and against opening the box and in pairs, created mind-maps to record as many ideas as we could. Then, we created a 'conscience alley' or 'thought tunnel', in which the two sides of the argument tried to convince Pandora that they were right. 

Football fun in Chestnut (Arts Weeks)

Over the past week and a half, Chestnut class have enjoyed creating artwork and writing all about football! We have been outdoors practising our dribbling and passing in 5-a-side football matches. 

In our English lessons, we have been learning about famous footballers like Marcus Rashford and Harry Kane, and have written fact-files about their lives. 

In Art, Chestnut Class have been trying splatter painting, printing with polystyrene tiles, recreating flags and practising their sketching skills.

Good Bye and Well Done to Year 3
