What ancient Egyptians believed about death? We used role play to become priests that would have preserved bodies and prepared them for being buried. We washed, pulled organs out, placed the body in salt, embalmed the body and then placed it into a coffin. #smithdownhist

This afternoon, 3KM have had so much fun learning about mummification in History! #smithdownhis #smithdownyr3

3KM have had fun using imagination to draw pictures to represent our new vocabulary for our new novel ‘Dear Earth’ 🌍🌾🌿 #smithdowneng #smithdownYr3

In English, 3KM have been discussing predictions on what our new novel could be about by using colours for reference of different habitats 🌍🍃🌼 #smithdowneng #smithdownyr3

Having fun in Spanish this morning! #smithdownextra #smithdownyr3 #smithdownspanish

#smithdownextra #smithdownY3. This morning 3KM have been discussing different ways how we can be kind to others no matter our differences, we had some lovely things to say!

Year 3 had lots of fun today in maths adding and subtracting ten from a three digit number. A lot of the fun came from being able to write all over our tables! #smithdownmath

Lovely singing voices this morning! Year 3 have been learning all about our rights. We have discussed about having the right to learn and believe what you believe! #smithdownextra

In year 3 today, we practised doing peer to peer massages on each other. They completed many different strokes and we all felt very relaxed. Thank you very much for this @MrsCarpenter30 #smithdownextra

Great start to the week focusing on the importance of attendance and why we need to be in school! Lots of different reasons that help us in different ways. #smithdownextra

What an exciting afternoon excavating some Ancient Egyptian artefacts! We all became archaeologists and discovered things like Howard Carter. We found some things that may have belonged to Tutankhamen. ⚰️🇪🇬 #smithdownhist

Year 3 have had fun being Archaeologists this afternoon! We have been using a picking tool to remove the dirt, look at what we discovered! 🤩 #smithdownhis #smithdowny3

Super start to our “Painting with Scissors” topic with a focus on Henri Matisse. Amazing inspiration applied to their own work✂️📄 great work Year 3! #smithdownart #theartsatsmithdown

What an experience! Year 3 went to a stately home to feel what one looked like and felt like. Sudley house was perfect for helping us understand our new book - Seen and not Heard. #smithdownenglish #smithdownextra

Having fun acting out our new vocabulary for English! #smithdownenglish #Y3

We have been exploring different push and pull forces that require contact between two objects. Lots of toys and actions helped us understand these forces. Year 3 did a great job of organising the forces into our Venn diagram. #smithdownsci

What a week it has been already! Year 3 children have settled in so well and demonstrated their maturity and attitude towards their work. They could remember lots of their previous learning in History. They could organise events into living memory and beyond. #smithdownhist

Great morning chopping, preparing, cooking and eating our traditional bolognese sauce. Children had a great time using fresh ingredients all with the help of Monica from our very own kitchen! #smithdowndt #smithdowngeog #smithdownextra

Well done to everyone who received a certificate this week! ⭐️ What a great way to end our week with a refreshing ice lolly! ☀️ #smithdownextra

3LA had so much fun exploring different connections with each other discussing friendships and how we connect 😄 Thank you to Tackling the blues 😊#smithdownpshe #smithdownextra
