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 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.
