Year 3

The Lion King Easter Performance!

Below are the songs we would like the children to learn for our Easter performance. With each song, there is a web link to the music we will be using. The background link for each song, without background singers, will be the one we will be using on our performance. Have fun learning these songs and we look forward to seeing you on Tuesday 24th April 2018!

The Circle of Life

Everyone sing

From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the Sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done

There's far too much to take in here

More to find than can ever be found

But the sun rolling high

Through the sapphire sky

Keeps great and small on the endless round

It's the circle of life

And it moves us all

Through despair and hope

through faith and love

Till we find our place

On the path unwinding

In the circle

The circle of life

Just Can’t Wait to be King

Simba

I'm gonna be a mighty king
So enemies beware!

Zazu

Well, I've never seen a king of beasts
With quite so little hair

Simba

I'm gonna be the mane event
Like no king was before
I'm brushing up on looking down
I'm working on my ROAR

Zazu

Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing

Simba

Oh, I just can't wait to be king!

Zazu
(You've rather a long way to go, young master,
if you think...)

Simba

No one saying do this

Zazu
(Now when I said that, I -)

Nala

No one saying be there

Zazu
(What I meant was...)

Simba
No one saying stop that

Zazu
(Look, what you don't realize...)

Simba & Nala
No one saying see here

Zazu
(Now see here!)
 

Simba

Free to run around all day

Zazu
(Well, that's definitely out...)

Simba
Free to do it all my way!

Zazu

I think it's time that you and I
Arranged a heart to heart

Simba

Kings don't need advice
From little hornbills for a start

Zazu

If this is where the monarchy is headed
Count me out!
Out of service, out of Africa
I wouldn't hang about
This child is getting wildly out of wing

Simba

Oh, I just can't wait to be king!

Everybody look left

Nala
Everybody look right
Everywhere you look I'm
Standing in the spotlight!

Zazu

Not yet!
 

Everyone

Let every creature go for broke and sing
Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing
It's gonna be King Simba's finest fling
 

Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Oh, I just can't waaaaaait ... to be king!

Hakuna Matata

TIMON & PUMBA  & SIMBA& EVERYBODY

Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze

EVERYBODY

It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!

Simba

Hakuna Matata?

Pumba

Yeah, it's our motto

Simba

What's a motto?

Timon

Nothing! What's a motto with you? Ah haah haah ha ha

Pumba

You know, kid- these two words will solve all your problems

Timon

That's right! Take Pumba for example

Why, when he was a young warthog

Pumba
When I was a young wart-hoooog!

Timon
Very nice!

Pumba
Thanks!

Timon
He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal
He could clear the Savannah after every meal

Pumba
I'm a sensitive soul, though I seem thick-skinned
And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind
And oh, the shame

(He was ashamed!)
Thought of changin' my name
(Oh, what's in a name?)
And I got downhearted
(How did you feel?)
Every time that I-
Pumbaa! Not in front of the kids!
Oh... sorry

EVERYBODY

Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze

Simba
It means no worries
For the rest of your days

Timon & Pumba
Yeah, sing it, kid!

EVERYBODY

It's our problem-free philosophy

Hakuna Matata!

In the Jungle, the mighty jungle

A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh
A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh
A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh
A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh

In the jungle, the mighty jungle
The lion sleeps tonight
In the jungle the quiet jungle
The lion sleeps tonight

A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh
A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh
A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh

A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh

Can You Feel the Love Tonight?

TIMON & PUMBA & SIMBA & NALA & EVERYBODY

I can see what's happening (What?)
And they don't have a clue (Who?)
They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line
Our trio's down to two. (Oh.)

The sweet caress of twilight
There's magic everywhere
And with all this romantic atmosphere
Disaster's in the air

EVERYBODY

Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things

So many things to tell her
But how to make her see
The truth about my past? Impossible!
She'd turn away from me

He's holding back, he's hiding
But what, I can't decide
Why won't he be the king I know he is
The king I see inside?

EVERYBODY

Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things

Can you feel the love tonight?
You needn't look too far
Stealing through the night's uncertainties
Love is where they are

And if he falls in love tonight (Pumba Sniffs)
It can be assumed
His carefree days with us are history
In short, our pal is doomed

He Lives in You

Everyone Sing

Small group only

Ingy nama nengy emba lala
Ingy nama nengy emba lala

Night and the spirit of life calling
Oh, oh, iyo, mamela
And the voice with the fear of a child answers
Iyo iyo, mamela

Wait, there's no mountain too great
Hear these words and have faith
Oh, oh, iyo
Have faith

Hela hey mamela, hela hey mamela
Hela hey mamela, hela hey mamela

He lives in you, he lives in me
He watches over everything we see
Into the waters, into the truth
In your reflection, he lives in you

Dream, and the voice in the wind whispers
Iyo mamela

Wait, there's no mountain too great
Hear these words and have faith, oh, oh, iyo

He lives in you, he lives in me
He watches over everything we see
Into the waters, into the truth
In your reflection, he lives in you

Ingy nama nengy emba lala
Ingy nama nengy emba lala

He lives in you, he lives in me
He watches over everything we see
Into the water, into the truth
In your reflection, he lives in you

He lives in you, oh yeah, he lives in me
He watches over everything we see
Into the water, into the truth
In your reflection, he lives, he lives, he lives, he lives in you
He lives, he lives, he lives in you
He watches over everything we see

The Stone Age! 

3S have loved learning all about the Stone Age this half term. Have a look at our animoto to see what we have been up to!

World Book Day

Year 3 have had some great fun on World Book Day. We've dressed up, read books to each other, acted out scenes from books and discussed characters' thoughts and feelings, compared different versions of The Three Little Pigs, including one from The Big Bad Wolf's perspective, and drawn our own comic strip version of The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs! by Jon Scieszka. Phew!! It's been a very busy but very fun day!

Science Week

We had a jolly busy Science Week, where the focus was Arctic Exploration in the Antarctic.

To begin with, the we looked at the location of the Arctic and Antarctic and discussed the differences between the two.  We all enjoyed learning about the importance of studying and exploring the Antarctic.

Everyone researched a selection of animals to find out where they lived and sticking them around a map.  We also discussed the features of different deep-sea animals and grouped them in different ways, including by their colour, bone structure and how deep they lived.

Then, we began a science project to design and scientifically test  to make a “grabber” which could be used to collect scientific samples.

Everyone considered materials, tools and how to join parts together.  Making the grabber was simple… if you measured everything correctly. I think we all needed a warm up after outdoor testing though!

African Drumming Workshop

Year 3 really enjoyed their African Drumming Workshop. The expert drumming instructor helped everyone develop Year 3's drumming skills over a whole morning and they sounded absolutely amazing...take a look!

Afterwards 3T listened to some songs with iconic or really catchy drumbeats (Adam and the Ants - Kings of the Wild Frontier / Queen - We Will Rock You / Kiss - I Love It Loud) and tried to copy them.  What is your favourite drumming song?  Can you drum better than your child?  Why not practise together!
