Year 3 Heritage / International Week

Year 3 have had a fantastic time celebrating Heritage / International Week! The children thoroughly enjoyed presenting their projects to the class and listening to one another share information about a living tradition or aspect of culture from their heritage.

As part of our learning, we chose to focus on Italy. We began by locating Italy on a globe and maps of different scales before exploring its physical and human features. Using this knowledge, the children wrote informative reports in their English lessons. We also discovered the importance of hand gestures in Italian culture and learned how to say a few simple words in Italian.

Year 3 also took part in a lovely creative session with their Reception buddies. Together, they made Italian and Canadian flags, and taught each other about the countries they were learning about.

The highlight of the week was designing and making our own pizzas. We shaped the dough and added a variety of toppings. Chef Nigel kindly cooked them so they could eat them for lunch. They smelt and tasted absolutely delicious!

It has been a wonderful week full of learning, creativity and collaboration.
