Science Investigation

Wednesday 9th October

In Science this afternoon, we investigated whether the length of someone's femur affects the distance they can jump. We made sure to keep certain things the same, such as footwear, the type of jump and the surface we were jumping on. 

Coding

Monday 30th September

Today, we used the repeat command to program our character to draw a square. We also included a button so that the action would only begin when our button was clicked. 

Shell Structures with Windows

Thursday 26th September

In DT this afternoon, we worked in groups to add a window into an existing shell structure. We discussed the purpose of these being to allow customers to see what's inside. We will be deciding whether or not to include a window into our final product in a few weeks time.

Rounding

Tuesday 24th September

In Maths, we have been rounding numbers to the nearest 10 and 100. We use rounding mountains to identify the 10 or 100 before and after our target number, as well as the midpoint. We then decide if our number is greater or smaller than the midpoint to identifyt whether we round up or down. 

New Spelling Scheme

Tuesday 17th September

We started our new spelling scheme today. It focuses on adding prefixes and suffixes to 'root morphemes'. Today, we started by adding suffixes to 'jump'. Have a look at some of our word sums and the sentences we created. 

Food and Nutrition

Wednesday 11th September

We have started our Science topic, 'Animals including Humans'. Last week, we recapped the Eat Well Plate and sorted various foods into the correct section of the plate. This afternoon, we took a closer look at the nutrients that each food group provides and made suggestions for how to improve a meal.

Welcome to Year 3 Otters!

Tuesday 3rd September

We had a brilliant first day of the year today and the children were full of enthusiasm for the year ahead. We started looking at our new book for English, Mini Rabbit Not Lost, and explored the place value of 3-digit numbers in Maths. This afternoon, we worked in groups to create our 'Feel It TEAM Promise' which is attached below. Keep an eye on our class page which will be updated weekly.
