Do you know an acute angle from an obtuse angle?
A fun packed day filled with wonderful learning all about Ancient Egyptian times.
Year 3 have had a great week this week. Have a look at some of the things we've been getting up to...
Year 3 have been super scientists this week while investigating the elements plants need to grow healthily. We are still observing plants each week which are missing one of the elements a plant needs to survive. We have also started a celery experiment to observe what happens when food colouring is put into the celery's water.
Here is a 'before' and 'after' photo:
In English, we have been continuing our adventure story 'Podkin One-Ear' and have written some fantastic setting descriptions. We have also been looking ancient Egyptian texts while working in our reciprocal reading groups. Today we read about the Rosetta Stone.
In maths, we have started our new topic of 'time'. So far we have looked at months and years and we have just started telling the time in 5 minute and 1 minute intervals.
In design and technology we have been creating shell structures 'packaging' to contain a sandwich - we have had a lot of fun and been very resilient when creating our 3D nets!
Year 3 have been working really hard on there travelling in gymnastics and were able to try out their skills on the apparatus this week! The children have also made some brilliant shadow puppet theatres while learning all about light and shadow in this term's science topic. We were even able to share our theatres with children in our Reception classes too!
As part of our science topic on light, we started to make our shadow puppet theatres.
This term, Year 3 are studying their local area in history and have been learning all about early modes of transport. Here are a few pictures of their charcoal steam train drawings - aren't they fantastic?!
In line with our history topic, we have also debated for and against the coming of the railway to our local area...
Year 3 are also really enjoying reading Matilda by Roald Dahl and have been acting in role as Matilda, Miss Honey and Miss Trunchbull...
Our topic this half-term is our local area and how it has changed, in maths we are learning about fractions and of course it's been World Book Day!
This week Year 3 have started reading their new core text, 'Matilda' by Roald Dahl. They have identified and sorted adjectives to describe the personality and appearance of Matilda and her father Mr Wormwood, and written a detailed character description.
The children explored light and dark, thin and thick lines ahead of painting a still life of a daffodil in art this week. A relaxing activity to ease us all back into the new term!
