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 ⭐️
This week in PE, Year 3 practiced their gymnastics routine which included 2 jumps, 2 balances, a travel and 2 rolls. Great work Year 3!
Year 3 practiced how to say their birthdays in Spanish yesterday. Mr Matias asked us when our birthday was and we responded with when it was.
Today in English, Year 3 researched our Art, Mover and Sharker L S Lowry. We gathered information and typed it up on Seesaw to use it for are shape poems. Super work Year 3!
As part of Rocks, Relics and Rumbles Day, Year 3 had Rachel and Sophie visit us from The Sill in Northumberland. They ran a workshop on how rocks are formed, how they are used and they even brought in a variety of rocks for us to identify and categorise. We really enjoyed our morning working with them and learned lots of new information to go alongside our existing knowledge!
Year 3 watched an animation of Pompeii when Mount Vesuvius erupted. At different points of the video we paused it showing the eruption and its effects at different times over the 2 days. The children recorded in pairs using SeeSaw to record discussions of what was happening in the moments and then the effect it had.
For Time to Talk Day, Year Three firstly worked in groups and worked together by discussing about what we have learned so far about Rocks Relics and Rumbles. We also worked in pairs to find information to create news reports and then presented them to the class. We then were challenged to become newsreaders and reporters to produce a televised news report about our topic so far. We then presented this for our parents/carers for are Cool afternoon. We then thought of questions to ask are parents about what facts they have learned.
Year 3 played charades this morning as part of our oracy challenges. This week’s oracy focus was on gesturing so what better way to practice our gestures than charades!
