For Oracy, Year 3 were challenged to uplevel their vocabulary using synonyms. In English we looked at Lowry’s painting ‘The Promenade’. We wrote a description uplevelling our vocabulary into our books and shared them with the rest of the class.
As part of International Day of Maths, Year 3 looked at Fibonacci, our maths mover and shaker, and his sequence. We used our disciplinary knowledge to decipher the rules of different sequences and then created our own rules and sequences!
Year 3 had a fabulous afternoon further exploring volcanoes as part of their geography topic. We created our own volcano models, thinking about all of the features we have learned about and making sure these were incorporated into our designs. After, we looked at how we could recreate a pyroclastic flow to replicate that of a volcano. Using baking soda, vinegar and washing up liquid, we watched the acids and alkali react with the carbon dioxide to create a chemical reaction! Well done Year 3!!!
In English, Year 3 have been looking at using commas for clarity. We were given stem sentences and we add some clarifying information using commas!
For oracy, Year 3 played the word association game linked to are KRP, Rocks, Relics and Rumbles. We remembered all the skills we have learned and used them while playing during early work. Well done Year 3!
Today in PE, Year 3 used compasses to decide which direction we needed to go to get to a different toy. We then wrote which direction each toy was placed.
On Friday, Year 3 put up their posters that they created on Character Education Day, that are around the theme of ‘trust’. We TRUST our community to pick up after their dogs!
Today for World Book Day, Year 3 listened to the story ‘The Pebble in my Pocket.’ We filmed a diary entry of ourselves as the pebble and transported ourselves through time from 480 million years ago to present day. Across the day, we looked at how the ‘The Pebble in my Pocket’ linked to our Rocks, Relics and Rumbles topic and looked at the key features of a diary such as using first person and using time adverbials.
Yesterday, KS2 Lego Club had a fantastic time taking part in the Lego League Challenge Competition! We worked on our coding skills, on our motorised robot and presented our innovate project to a range of judges. It was all about creating a marine app to support marine biologists and their research! We were super lucky and won a trophy for our amazing innovative research!
This week, Year 3 started their orienteering unit in PE. We focused on map orientation to turn the map so we could follow the plan. We then added the numbers to find out the answer.
