Scissett CE Academy
Welcome to Marie Curie Class
We are the class teachers, Mrs Whittle and Mrs Lodge. We love teaching Year 3. We are excited for an amazing year filled with lots of fun topics and learning opportunities. It will be a year of Egyptians, the Stone age and much much more! This year we have named our class after the scientist, Marie Curie. In our class, we also have Mrs Brook helping us. She is amazing and will be on hand to support us in the class each days. Keep checking what we have been up to!
Marie Curie Class - Spring 2025
Charcoal Artwork
In Art, Class Curie have had a messy afternoon exploring how we can use charcoal. We’ve been experimenting with different marks and effects we can create. We are going to develop our skills to create our own charcoal pieces.
Stone Age Boy
Curie Class have started their latest writing unit about the story of Stone Age boy. We have loved using our knowledge from our History unit in our writing.
Marie Curie Class - Autumn 2024
Christmas Stockings
In DT, year 3 have been designing their own festive stockings. Today we have been making our stockings, it’s been a busy afternoon of cutting, sewing and sticking.
Arctic Workshop
Year 3 was very lucky to take part in an Arctic workshop on Monday morning where they spoke with a real life explorer who lived and worked in the Arctic for nearly 20 years. She shared what life was like in these conditions and the research that she did. We saw the environment and the landscape and could compare it easily to what it would be like in Antarctica. The children then got a chance to ask some of their questions to the explorer. We finished off the morning with writing 5 things we had learnt and 5 ways we could do to help the environment. William did an amazing job in sharing his work with the explorer and the other schools involved! Well done William and Year 3 on an interesting and informative morning.

Guitar Demonstration - November 2024
Year 2 and 3 enjoyed a guitar demonstration on Friday morning. The children listened to different pieces of music from different countries. They enjoyed having a turn at playing the guitars as well. Thank you Musica Kirklees school.
Mrs Whittle was so proud of the whole class. They worked really hard on their final pieces and they were amazing! We definitely have a class of Scissett stars!
We are going to share our writing with the Reception children during our class share later this week.
Well done!
Colour Combinations
It’s been a very arty afternoon at Scissett. Year 3 have been exploring and experimenting with colour combinations. We have been looking at colours that compliment and contrast. We are going to choose from our ideas and use a combination in our project piece.
Maths Lessons
Class Curie have been working on adding and subtracting 1’s, 10’s and 100’s in our maths lessons this week. We’ve been using the base ten apparatus and pictures to support our learning. Great work Year 3!

Science Lessons
In Science, the children have been learning about force and that we measure force in Newtons. We investigated the force that was needed to move an object along different surfaces. We found that rubber was the surface that needed the most force applied to the object to move it and a wooden table the least. We were budding scientists!
First Week Back
Curie Class have had a fantastic first week in Year 3. They’ve started learning about place value in Maths and have completed their first writing project called “The Colour Collector”.
The class explored the school environment to hunt for different colours that could be stolen by a mysterious stranger. We used these ideas to write poems.
Well done Class Curie!
