Unit of Inquiry: How We Express Ourselves

Different art forms reflect people’s creativity

We have had the most wonderfully creative week and a half in Year 3 recently. Despite the rain day, this week the kids have done some amazing learning and inquiring into the concept of creativity. To tune the children in to thinking creatively, we have taken part in some lego building, drama making a stick not a stick ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brtsSuJJ2Ww , something you can try at home with any household object.), imaginative drawing and making pipe cleaners into something creative.

 

 

Mathematics

This week in maths, Year 3 have begun working on 2D shapes.  We have been categorising shapes into like families by looking for similarities and differences. The children have enjoyed this and have been using some wonderful vocabulary to describe the shapes.

 

 

Literacy

This week in literacy we have begun exploring poetry. This unit the children will be reading and writing a range of poems such as shape poems, colour poems, haikus and rhyming poems, as well as looking at the literary features of poems. The children will be linking poetry to their creative process by finding and creating poems about their inspirations and passions.
