Year 3

The weather forced us inside for our grow to school lesson today but Kat had some really fun activities for us in class, which we really enjoyed. 

First we played a game of bat and moth. 

Then we looked at and learned how to use garden tools safely. Next we planted some herb seeds and…

Class 7 had a fantastic time at our gardening session. We learnt about how bats use echolocation, how to handle our tools safely and how to identify different trees. 

We then finished the morning by making newspaper plant pots which we used to plant different herbs. 

Today we continued with our dividing. 

We learned how too exchange when our 10s would not share equally. 

Today we made ice decorations for our garden.

We gathered things that had fallen from the trees like leaves and twigs and berries and a few stones and we made them into decorations.

Today we practiced sharing a 2 digit number by a 1 digit number. We knew that the number of groups was determined by the number we were sharing by and that all of our groups had to be equal. 

We looked briefly at what to do when we had extra counters that made our groups unequal and created…

Today in science we used data loggers to test how reflective different materials are. 

We worked in groups to make predictions and carefully test each material. 

After analysing our results we used what we had learned to design book bags with reflective strips.

We made apples bird feeders to support the wildlife in our garden during the winter months. 

We found sticks so the birds have a perch and then stuffed sunflowers seeds into the apples for them to feast on. 

We hung them high in the trees. 

Today we sourced pictures for our presentation backgrounds to use on the green screen. 

We organised our research into sections and then decided what pictures we would like. We searched for them online and then saved them into an album to use later. 

We discussed the clarity and resolution…

Well done to 2 pupils who won class 8’s Trackit point prize for Autumn.

They have both had a fantastic term and have made their teachers very proud.

Today in maths we were feeling festive. 

We used our maths skills to crack the codes for Christmas jokes and words. 

Some of us practiced our 2 and 5 times tables colouring mosaics to reveal the Christmas pictures. 

Class 8 have enjoyed making and eating Christmas cookies.

This week in maths, we have been consolidating our eight times tables. Some of us were consolidating, our two times tables.

We coloured in mosaics using coded numbers to reveal the patterns.
