This week, we have continued to apply our new skill of reading scales to the context of statistics. We have been interpreting pictograms and bar charts and answering questions such as ‘how many more goals did Manchester United score than Liverpool last season?’ Or probably the more apt questions, ‘how many fewer goals have Manchester United scored than Manchester City this season?’ It hasn’t all been about football statistics though. We have looked at statistics relating to gold medals from the Olympics, traffic surveys and even ice cream data. We moved onto ‘telling the time’ in the latter part of the week. We will continue to learn to tell the time to the nearest 5 minutes after the weekend.
During our English lessons this week, we have been writing setting descriptions. Watch this space for some of the published writing appearing on this blog very soon. In the meantime, we plan to share our writing with the Year 1 children next week. The children have worked very hard planning, editing and publishing a description to match a stormy sea scene.
We will be starting our Sustainability unit next week. This will involved looking at ways that we can contribute to the sustainability of the world through our actions relating to light. We will be looking at ways that we can save electricity, we will be exploring light pollution as well as looking at some photographs from space which further illustrate the most lit up areas in the world. It is a very exciting unit. We have now finished our Stone Age to the Iron Age project and so we will be looking for a date shortly to invite parents, grandparents and carers in after school so the children can share their work with you. Date to be confirmed!
Have a super restful weekend Keep warm and we look forward to seeing you all on Monday!
Team Year 3!
