Week Beginning 17.07.17

Seahorse class...it has been an absolute pleasure sharing our learning journey together this year. Have a great holiday. 

Week Beginning 10.07.17

The week started with a treat with a football skills teacher visiting to give each class a master class in ball skills. 

ICT

We have really enjoyed our IT topic of programming this term, as we have used algorithms to create our own game using KODU. This week we played our completed games, found other similar games and wrote comparison reviews. 

Maths

This week we have been tackling problems involving scale. We worked out how much larger certain rain forest animals would be whilst working to a set scale; and made a fruit cocktail by scaling down a recipe.

Some of us moved on to our last lesson of shape for the year: making 3D shapes. We created skeleton shapes using pipe cleaners and straw; folded card shapes from nets and looked carefully at the shapes of the faces to build some out of polygon. 

In other news...

A massive well done to all those children in the seahorse class who went out for their first graduation. What a fantastic achievement!

Finally, we look forward to seeing as many friends and family as possible at our end of year viola performance in the school hall at 11:30am Monday 17th July. 

Week Beginning 3.07.17

Literacy 

In literacy, we have been revising lots of the different punctuation and grammar that we have learnt over the past academic year such as: plurals, nouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, expanded noun phrases, present perfect tense, inverted commas and fronted adverbials. We put our skills to the test and had plenty of giggles using Mad Libs to create silly stories. 

We also continued our letters to the president of Honduras; structuring a formal letter. We wrote clear introductory paragraphs and powerful sentences explaining out point of view. 

Numeracy 

We have been revisiting fractions for the final time this year using fraction walls and finding equivalent fractions to complete equivalent fraction colour by fraction pictures. 

Music 

In Music, the year 3s have been putting together lots of performance pieces that showcase all of the skills we have been building this year whilst learning the viola. We look forward to performing our concert to the school and parents on Monday 17th July at 11.30am.
