Where did the week go!

We started the week with an ICT extravaganza! We used interactive balance scales to help us write balanced number sentences whilst developing our understanding of the equals sign. 

In other maths news, a welcome game of Tiddlywinks lightened a lesson of challenging mental addition and subtraction. 


We also used the I Pads to research events and inventions throughout history to add to our timelines. In literacy, we were back in the suite again reading and researching different types of dragons for our work on explanation texts. All this ICT practise made Year 3 the perfect people to be website reviewers, as we started our computing topic 'Using the Internet Efficiently and Safely'. 

Science this week was fun, as we investigated factors that increase and decrease friction. We found out the the class is quite handy with a pair of chopsticks! 




In art we have have been continuing our work with water based and water repellent materials. We have been really careful whilst using the stain Brusho! Developing our skills and technique ready for when we start our study of the artist Paul Caulfield next week.


Mysterious egg update...due to some strange wobbling and cracks appearing we have decided to seek expert advice and have written letters to the Natural History Museum in London to help us solve the mystery. The egg has been packed off and will hopefully be returned soon with some answers.
