We’ve been busy this week learning all about similes and using them to write ‘What am I’ style texts about the different parts of the body. This morning we did a little face-to-face activity, where the children went around reading their sentences out to each other trying to figure out whether the sentence was a simile or not! Big well done to all of 3SG for getting well and truly stuck into this writing cycle.
In music this half term we are learning the rhythm of Salsa music! We are practising using dance moves to understand the rhythm and body percussion to get the beat. Well done to 3SG for getting stuck in and working on their moves!!
We have had a wonderful first day back after the Christmas holidays. Today we’ve kicked off our new expedition with some Science and exploring the human body!
Today in 3SG we have been looking at greater than, less than and equals to symbols, putting our hard work into practise all over the tables! When we felt confident we then completed a challenge to finish off our maths lesson. The children are engaging in maths so well and I am so proud of how their collaboration today.
3LG have been in full baking mode this week in preparation for our Celebration of Learning. With a total of 190 cookies baked, we think we might have a few spares for a taste test!
This afternoon, Y3 have been channeling their inner Mayan and creating their very own Mayan inspired masks. We looked at why Mayans wore masks and how they were designed before creating our own.
Last week Y3 kicked off our summer expedition “What is the cost of a bar of chocolate?” with an absolute bang! We started the week blind taste testing a range of different chocolates and discussing our favourites.
Then, we baked some delicious brownies to be sold at a bake sale to help raise funds for our final (top secret!) products!
We finished the week off in style, holding a competition to see who could build the tallest chocolate tower using melted white chocolate. We even built towers that were over 30cm tall!
Chance to Dance 2024 is well underway with preparations for the final performance in full swing. With weekly visits from Miss Wendy, our chance to dance children have ween working hard to consolidate their ballet knowledge. Focusing on “The Dream”, the children have been thinking about making shapes with their bodies and different ways to move across a space. We can’t wait to watch the beautiful dance they produce!
Y3 celebrated their amazing learning throughout the spring term by each planting a tree around the perimeter of the school field. We reflected on our guiding question “How can we protect our wonderful world?” and presented our learning to parents. We are very lucky that Murphy’s group donated enough trees that every child could plant their own with their own customised wooden tag.
Thank you so much to everybody that came and celebrated the children’s awesome work with us.
Yesterday afternoon, Y3 put on their scientist hats and been investigated all about magnets. We went around the classroom testing which items attracted and repelled the magnets. We also looked at what happened when we put different combinations of the magnetic poles together.
