At the end of last week we started to learn about Sir Ernest Shackleton and his expedition to Antarctica. Over the next few weeks we will delve deeper into this mission and put ourselves in the crews shoe's.
In Power Maths we are moving on from the x4 times tables and now will be looking at x8! This might seem daunting for the children but we use multiplication grids to support this work. Accessing TTRS on a regular basis will help with the recall of times tables.
In Science we are now looking at health and nutrition and particularly what is in our food. We had a really interesting lesson where we compared the food labels from a number of foods. We then went on a nutrition calculator to compare what meals we thought might be healthy than others and why others had so much saturated fat etc. It was really interesting to discuss our ideas of healthy.
We are looking forward to swimming again tomorrow. The children did so well last week and really enjoyed their lesson. Same again this week please, separate swim stuff with goggles and a hat if possible.
See you all tomorrow!
Mrs Thorpe and the Year 3 team
