Ms Brooks This term in science we are learning about light. We built upon our year 1 knowledge and learned the definitions of opaque,transparent and translucent. We know that how much light and object lets through will affect how well we can see through it. We identified and classified different materials. We discussed the benefits and possible uses of each.
This morning, Chris spoke about the words responsibility and trust,
Chris discussed the importance of telling the truth and taking responsibility of your actions and how the best action is to own up to it.
The children did an activity of measuring themselves in how much they think others trust them and how much they want to be trusted.
They also talked about situations they had been involved in where they had to be truthful.
We realise that at times it is difficult to own up to something due to the consequences, but being truthful is always the best solution.
This morning we welcomed back Madame Harris who is teaching us our French lessons this term, we spoke in French to our partners about all of our family members and we had to identify spaces in the French sentences and re write using the correct spacing.
This summer term we will be practising athletics and this afternoon we learnt starting positions of a race and relay races. We also practiced some hurdles and how to jump over them safely and in the correct way.
This afternoon, Year 3 had their last orienteering lesson with Rees Sports.
In their groups and using a map, they had to find clues to spell out a word.
Individual letters had been placed in areas around the playground.
This task involved working together as a team.
We are so incredibly proud of the children in their Easter performance this morning. They have worked really hard in learning their lines and their singing was beautiful.
Thank you to all the parents that supported their children, it was lovely to see so many of you.
This term in our Topic lessons, we have been learning all about The Lake District and The Alps and the differences between the two.
This afternoon, we predicted what the traffic would be like in the Lakes and the Alps by conducting our own traffic tally chart and we counted how many cars went last along the main road and also the back street.
We also used the digimap app to look up information on these two places.
This afternoon, year 3 continued working on their orienteering skills by working in teams and using good communication skills. They had to direct one member of their team who were blindfolded across an obstacle course that they had made, a lot of trust was required for this activity.
This term in music, year 3 are practicing their rhythmic skills using different instruments to the song “we’re going around the world”, this is a song based on different countries where the children are playing in time to the music to the style of the musical instruments specifically used by that country.
Year 3 are continuing their computer lessons by creating branching databases, this encourages children to group things based on attributes and using yes and no answers.
