A busy week!

Science

This week, Year 3 had the task to create a new vertebrate. Children enjoyed looking at the way it might move, its habitat, what it eats and what it looks like. We had a range of creatures with very interesting names!

English

This week, we learned more about Ernest Shackleton’s life and the communication method of telegrams. The children learned that each letter in a telegram was costly and had the task of writing important messages with limited vocabulary. With Shackleton safely in Buenos Aires, we’re all eager to see what the next chapter brings.

Geography

We focused on different biomes in geography, and the children used their Chromebooks to learn more about the climate and the animals and plants that would typically be found in them. After learning more about the woodland biome, the children made very good connections to the temperate climate.

PE

This week, we enjoyed practising a new skipping skill!

OOA

3SB worked as a team to create various words and phrases. They enjoyed working together to keep the hula hoop in their circle, which was then timed! We successfully got two hoops going; we aim to have four next week!

Netball

In netball, 3B learnt more about pivoting, passing and shooting. They enjoyed challenging themselves in pairs to pass to a hoop and have a shot!

Composing!

Year 3 enjoyed the afternoon composing their music and sharing it with others. In addition to this, they practised ‘Three Little Birds’ and played the glockenspiels alongside it.

Our composer here was disappointed not to play perfectly for the camera, but this was a fantastic piece of work!

Using Charanga to help with our compositions

French

We have continued to practise the names of the fruits in French, as well as how to say which fruits we like. Here are some of the fruits we like in 3SB!

Cross country

On Thursday afternoon, some Year 3 and Year 5 children participated in a cross-country event at Spring Bank Primary School. The children ran in year groups, and we were very proud of their efforts—for some, it was their first time participating! The children from Year 5 set an excellent example for our Year 3s and were very encouraging!
