Today, we discussed the ways that we are all shepherds or sheep at different points- we might even switch roles during the same day.
We then played a game called secret leaders where we had to tune in to non verbal cues to identify the secret leaders.
Year 3 visited a local Hindu temple to learn about how many Hindus worship in the community. We learned about the different variations of Hinduism and the ways in which they are unified by common beliefs. The children were incredibly respectful and asked and answered lots of insightful questions- we are really proud of the way they represented our school within the community.
Thank you to everyone who came and participated in our ‘Wiggle Wandle’! Certificates to follow next week! 🫛🐛
We could not think of a better way to finish the week than with a game of rounders in the sun in PE!
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.
On Friday, Year 3 went to The Mayor of Bolton Christmas Concert at The Victoria Halls where they experienced an Orchestra playing various Christmas songs and some songs from the film Wicked.
Towards the end the children got into the festive spirit by having a sing a long. It was an amazing experience and the children thoroughly enjoyed it.
This afternoon in PE, Rees Sports taught the children the importance of working well together as a team.
The children were put into teams and did different challenges. They worked brilliantly together and listened to one another well.
Yesterday, year 3 blue, attended an ICT workshop at Smithills high school.
The children paired up to make different robots using Lego and motor pieces, they also used an iPad to for programming to make their robots move and change colour and to add sound.
The children were amazing and really enjoyed their day.
This morning in our English lesson, we have been writing a persuasive letter with regards to the use of Palm oil and how deforestation is destroying parts of the rainforest which is causing much harm to the animals. We have been using some amazing vocabulary in the hope that sustainably sourced palm oil can be used instead.
To celebrate National Poetry Day today, we made some twinkly star wands which we magically waved whilst we recited the poem ‘Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star’ 🌟🫛🐛
