Hello and Welcome to Year 3's Blog!

We have had another busy week at school! We enjoyed it on Tuesday when the Prison Service and Police service visited school to teach us all about actions and consequences. We learned lots of interesting facts and how to stay safe when outside of school! We had the pleasure of meeting 2 cute, lively police dogs who kept us very entertained. 

A big Congratulations to Lyndon, who won the 'pupil of the week' certificate. We are really pleased to see him back in school after being so poorly! Welcome Back Lyndon! 

We had another fun filled morning this morning watching the Eclipse. We all gathered in the large hall and watched it on a giant screen, it was so fascinating. We came back to class and had a great discussion all about it! It linked very nicely to our Light and Shadows Topic in Science! 

Our brains have been working extremely hard this week, we have learned all about volcanoes and mountains around the world and watched some news clips about Natural Disasters. We even wrote a persuasive letter to Miss Power and Mrs Parry encouraging them to visit a range of mountains. We included lots of Super Sentences!

Have a relaxing weekend... lots of love Miss Power, Mrs Willcox and Mrs Marron xx

We included lots of Super Sentences in our writing and some brilliant wow words!!! We have also been busy being text detectives, answering comprehension questions all about the Romans!

Hello and welcome back to our Year 3W blog!

This week we have had lots of fun learning more about the Romans and in particular Boudicca.  We have been learning how to ask questions to find out more about an historical figure.  We all wrote questions and some of us played the role of Boudicca and answered the questions in role.  This is called hot-seating.

In maths we have been working on our subtraction skills and subtracting from 3 digit numbers.  We are all still working hard on our times tables too  :-)

In topic we have learned all about how a Roman soldier used to dress and how much of Europe the Roman's managed to conquer.

In Science we have continued with our theme of Light and Shadow.  We learned that some things may look like they are giving off light but in fact they are reflecting light.  The moon reflects light from the sun, cat's eyes and road signs refelct light from street lights and car headlights.  Without a light source shining on them they would not be visible!

We have been really busy this week learning all about the Romans.

In English we all came up with lots of adjectives to describe Boudicca and then wrote super sentences using them. We know what a simile is and how to write 2 A sentences!

In Topic we were really excited to have some real life Romans visit us on Thursday.  They told us all about their Roman lives and re-enacted a Roman battle!  We thought it was really funny when they told us how they use the toilet!!!!

In Science we started a new topic and are learning about light and shadows.  We have sorted different sources of light into artifical and natural light sources and even learned that some animals actually give off light!!

Our maths lessons have been all about adding and subtracting 2 digit numbers and how to subtract near multiples of 10. 

Congratulations to Bo Grigerova who earned the certificate this week for being a marvellous mathematician!!

Welcome back to our Year 3 blog J

This week we are all excited to have a new teacher in our class.  Miss Kelly is just as excited to be here and will be working with us until the February half term, alongside Miss Power.  She is currently busy learning all our names!

Miss Kelly is very impressed with us so far: she thinks we are all very welcoming; have lovely manners and are superbly well behaved.

Topic

Our new topic is the Romans.  We are really looking forward to learning all about the Roman Civilizatation and have been doing some research using books and the internet.

English

We have been writing our New Year’s Resolutions using our super sentences.  We are getting really good at using our 2 A sentences now!

We have been learning the story of Romulus and Remus and have made our own story boards.

Keeping Safe

We have been learning about the differences between good touches and unwanted touches.  We have learned that we all have a right to privacy and personal space and what we should say, and do, to keep ourselves safe.

 Achievement!

Well done to Teodora who won the certificate last week!

Well done to Lewis MCCormick who won the certificate this week for 100% effort in Maths and English!

ENGLISH.......... In English this week we have been looking at the book The Snowman. It wasn't an ordinary book because it had no words!!!!! We had to look at the pictures and try to tell the story in our mind. We shared what we thought was happening in each picture. We have a wonderful Snowman Display in our class, so we are going to show all of our work on there! 

MATHS.......... In Maths this week we have been looking at angles, we used a post it note to measure if objects had a right angle. We have also found angles in shapes and found acute angles and obtuse angles.
