On Monday the year 3s' started their week with a forces and movement circus. We investigated different experiments to observe forces in action. These included: balancing clowns, shooting straws, snail in a maze, puff jets, and balloon toys.
We enjoyed solving challenges and discussing which type of force was in action and the effects they had.
Literacy
In literacy this week, we created a complete newspaper article all about the discovery of our mysterious giant bone. We made sure we included all the important information and answered the important who? what? where? and when? questions. We organised our writing into paragraphs and included lots of time conjunctions and conjunction to add details. We made sure it was all written in the third person and even included quotes.
Geography
In geography, we received another postcard from Uncle Travelling Matt asking for help to research about the main waterways of the U.K. As a result, we have been learning the names of; and locating the main rivers in Great Britain, along with the names of the seas and oceans that surround our island.
D.T
We started our new design and technology topic this week: Moving Monsters. We explored different pneumatic devices and experimented creating a short movement using two plastic syringes and a length of tubing to make our monster heads appear out of a cave.
Maths
This week, we have been learning about addition and subtracting. We have been counting on mentally and using a number line to find number bonds to 100. We have also been learning all about the equals sign in a variety of different calculation. We now feel a lot more confident finding the missing number in balanced equations.
Congratulations were in order this week, as a member of our class was chosen out of the whole school to be awarded Sportasaurus for his excellent effort and progression in P.E. We look forward to hearing what sporting activities they both get up to over the coming week.
