Ms Sharples Year 3 Blue have been learning to thumb the map and locate their position on the map in relation to the features placed around the room. The children then worked in pairs to create a trail on the map and their partner had to follow it.
Year 3B checked in to see how they were getting on with their goal to carry out little acts of leadership. Well done to the children who have returned their booklets and shared how they felt during the challenge.
We thought about what qualities our super hero leader would have. We thought about what our super hero mission would be.
Encourage others to recycle, smile at others or help to keep the environment tidy,
Today, Year 3 Blue were able to share some of their leadership skills with parents and talked further about what makes a great leader. Leaders must be good communicators, be able to manage their time, be resilient, be fair and be able to use their initiative.
The children works in team and pairs to complete a task which required them to listen to instructions carefully.
The children have been set a challenge to complete little acts of leadership at various levels over the next 2 weeks: they must try to do various acts at a personal, household and community level. Ask an adult to tick off when you have completed a task and return the booklet to school by the 10th March. Let’s see what we can achieve as leaders!
Today, Year 3 Blue prepared for their upcoming workshop with Bright Leaders where adults from home will be able to join them to see how they have been developing their leadership skills.
They practised leading a task and projecting their voices.
The children worked together to solve problems and discussed using initiative.
This morning, Chris Reddy from The Bright leaders team discussed the importance of Leadership and what makes a good leader.
The focus of this mornings session was different ways we can communicate, for example, listening, speaking and body language.
The children were put into pairs and built structures using communication and teamwork.
Today the children focused on how they can slow down and relax in a space. We used all of our senses to focus the mind. The children did a great job trying to guess some of the scents and then reflected in which ones they liked and didn’t like.
Ian from MedEquip4Kids came in today to launch The Humming Bird Project. The children will have a session each week for the next 6 weeks to learn about ways they can help themselves to feel happier, look after their own well-being and build resilience.
Today, we focused on what makes us happy and discussed how life is full of ups and downs and that we can try to turn to the things that make us feel happy in life’s downs. We talked about how we can make choices if we feel sad, upset, disappointed and angry. There are things we can control and things that we can’t but we can always control how we react and respond.
Year 3 Blue discussed the leadership structure within school and realised that they play a very important role in making school a successful and happy place to learn.
The children practised stopping when ready and following instructions. They talked about role modelling the correct behaviour for their peers. Leaders in the making!
Year 3 had 2 workshop sessions today with Mr B and Mr T from the brilliant Balestra Education. They delved deeper into what life was like in the Stone Age and they were able to handle some genuine artifices such as mammoth teeth, flint stones and also bones! The children listened beautifully and shared what they had learned in a quiz at the endof the morning’s session. Later in the afternoon, the children learned all about some of the large animals from the Stone Age and had a go at spear throwing in the role of Stone Age hunters.
