Wow what an amazing week we have had in Year 3! The children have settled in well and are starting to get used to the routines of the class.
This week in Power Maths we have been using base ten equipment and our hundreds, tens and ones grids to make 3 digit numbers as shown below.
We used the glossary at the back of the book to find our information.
In Forest School this week we used natural materials in our environment to make our own paint. Just as the Stone Age people did, we them made paintings of animals.
On Thursday we had our first Now Press Play session based on the Stone Age. It followed a story of a boy that was trying to find a wooly mammoth but was chased by wolves! It was fantastic to see all of the children getting involved in this drama session. We used the script today to highlight nouns, adjectives and verbs.
In Science this week we are recapping the materials unit from Year 2. We used modelling clay to test out the words bend, stretch, twist, poke and flatten. The children wondered if slime was elastic? (so will it shrink back to its original shape and size) We are unsure so we are going to test that out next week!
In our computing lesson this week we have used PurpleMash 2free code to make an algorithm. Our sprites (characters) would move if we programmed them to. Some children even got them to have a conversation!
We ended our very busy week with our praise assembly. A huge well done to:
-Anna for amazing questioning during our Science
-Tristan for his effort in reading and getting his first quaffle
-Henry C for his dedication to reading and completing quizzes at home
All of the Year 3 team wish you a lovely restful weekend. I will put another blog on in a moment with this weeks spellings and home learning.
If you have any questions or concerns please do feel free to email me at any point or catch any of the Year 3 team on the door in the mornings or after school
