We had a brilliant day yesterday making automaton toys in DT with our geography mover and shaker, David Attenborough being the theme of the toy! Year 3 worked very well as a team and followed instructions. Mrs Sharrock, Mr Appleby and Mrs Urwin loved coming to see our fantastic work!
Today, Year 3 visited the library to change our books. Catherine read us 2 stories and we managed to have some independent reading time too. We loved it so much we have already booked in our next library trip!
This week, Year 3 have looked at are Mover and Shaker David Attenborough. We discovered who David Attenborough is, his family life and all about his career and achievements. We looked at how David has helped people to understand the world better and how we should care for it.
In Science today, Year 3 learned about the magnetic field and did an observation with iron fillings and magnets.
For our Cool task in DT, Year 3 were asked to create a moving object. They were asked to make the man’s legs move with the equipment that they were given. 
Today in Spanish, Year 3 wrote the day, the date and the month in Spanish.
Year 3 had a brilliant morning singing the song ‘Every Move I Make’ for their peers in ‘Praise through music’ . We have spent this half term practicing it and we were so excited performing it for everyone!
Year 3 were set the book challenge to practice good posture as their oracy challenge this week. We balanced the book on our heads and saw how many lengths of the classroom we could do! We linked this with our learning on fractions and length by measuring the distances in fractions. The furthest one of our class members got was 7 and 1/4 lengths!
Year 3 worked practically on understanding the whole in maths. We used practical resources to find out what fractions we needed to make the whole when given a fraction. We started by being given unit fractions and then progressed into non-unit fractions. We then challenged our partners to find the missing fractions for unit and non-unit fractions that we gave them.
For internet safety, Year 3 looked at how to keep ourselves safe from hackers and what to look out for. Year 3 came up with some really good ideas! Well done ⭐️
