Week Beginning 8/09/16


What a collection of performing super stars we have in Year 3! Thank-you to all who came to our class assembly this week. The children were clearly very excited and proud to present their learning to the school and those at home. A fantastic performance by all, well done!

Maths
In maths this week, we added a Chinese twist to our current unit on shape by tackling Tangram puzzles in celebration of Chinese new year on Monday. It took lots of perseverance but we decided it was very rewarding when we finally achieved success!





We have also been busy describing and classifying 3D shapes by their proprieties and we even had a go at making some 2D shapes using peg boards, and making 3D shape using; straws and pipe cleaners, clix and polydrhon. 






History
In history, we have been learning about the clothes of ancient Greece and making some ancient Greek style jewelry. We also had a tasting session, trying some of the foods that would have been available at the time of the accent Greek rule. Such as: figs, feta cheese, honey cakes and olives. Our favourites were the honey cakes and cheese but only a few of us liked the olives!


Well done to Necton Primary quiz team for coming second in the cluster quiz event. Finally, thank-you to FOSA for arranging the valentines disco. We all had a fantastic time! 

Enjoy the break and we look forward to seeing everybody again on the 22nd of February.
