Happy world book day from Year Three!

We loved dressing up, sharing our favourite book characters and reciting some poetry off by heart.

We received a mysterious scroll on our board this morning….

It turns out it was not a friendly letter!

As a year group we have decided to learn some persuasive techniques to prove the Grinch wrong and convince him Christmas is in fact – AMAZING!! Wish us luck….

Thank you so much for coming to Year Threes cave! We loved sharing our cave descriptions with you.

Well done Hippos and Lions- you have started Year Three extremely well!

We know you have been thoroughly enjoying our first topic of Stone age to Iron age and we have even managed to squeeze in a school trip to Butser Ancient Farm. We had the best day becoming archaeologists digging up bones and flint. We weaved our own fences, created our own pots out of clay and enjoyed a tour of all of the Iron age houses.

More photos to follow!

What a wonderful day we have had celebrating 70 years of the queen!

Delicious treats from the kitchen

This week we have been delighted with the way the children have returned to school. We have been enjoying catching up on all of their adventures from their Easter time break.

In Maths this week we have been busy solving problems with money. We have been converting money from pennies to pounds and pennies and finding many solutions to problems such as if I had 3 coins in my pocket how much money could I have? What is the most I could have? What if they were all different coins?  The children have really enjoyed this learning journey.

In English we have been reading the book ‘the river’. We have explored new language that could be used to describe a river like plunged, turbulent and many more. Our focus has been on prepositions – amongst, between, within etc.

We finished our Science topic on Rocks by learning all about Fossils and how they are formed. We are lucky to have a fossil collector amongst the team who was happy to share some of the many fossils she has collected in shops but also from hunts along the beaches such as on the Isle of Wight. The highlight was getting to touch a fossil of a dinosaur foot!!

Have a lovely long weekend.

We’ve had a busy few weeks in school!

So far this term, we have been writing about the disgusting Romans and all their disgusting toileting habits! Yes that’s right – the children will be full of disgusting facts about how the Romans would share a sponge on a stick to clean themselves, while risking death from the build up of methane gas as they used the toilet ….together. They have all really engaged with this unit and the writing has been very impressive!!! We can’t wait to see the final outcomes.

In Maths we have been focusing on the multiplication and division facts for the 3 and 4 times tables. Keep logging into times tables rockstars to practise! practise! practise!  This week we will be moving onto using these facts for finding a fraction of an amount. For example 3/4 of £20. Keep practising the addition and subtraction strategies to really embed these with the children. 1 of each a day would make a huge difference!!

DT WEEK this week. The children are half way through their DT project for this term – shell structures. They have been learning about nets and how cardboard is used to keep products safe in transition. Watch this space for those coming home shortly.

The children have continued to enjoy their PE lessons. We are using all of the equipment including the ropes, springboard and wall bars to develop strength, balance and ways to travel safely.

Well done on all of the lovely costumes on World Book Day. The children all really enjoyed there text called The Invisible Boy. They created Art work and Music that complimented the themes of the story.

We have diversity week approaching soon!

Enjoy the sunshine coming our way this weekend.

This week the children have been writing the opening to the story Aladdin. We have been very impressed with the language the children have used and the way that they have tried to adapt the openings to their sentences to engage the reader.

For our Maths learning we looked at how to divide a singe digit by 10. It is encouraging to see that the children have continued to practise the column addition and subtraction strategies. Any further practise will be beneficial.

During our Science unit we looked at what plants need to grow. We set up 4 experiments in school: do plants breathe? Do plants really need light to grow if they have everything else? Do the plants only take up water through their roots? And do leaves make a difference to plants growth? We’re interested to find out the answer.

We look forward to seeing you all after the weekend.
