Weekly Round Up - 

Week beginning 21st June

This week we had a visit from the Captain Scott Society and Jack Wright talked to us about the journey Captain Scott embarked upon in 1910 .  We learnt lots about the journey he made setting off from Cardiff Bay - thank you for coming in to talk to us.

We also took part in the daily mile for our PE lesson.

s

We also took our literacy lesson outside to hunt for adjectives.  It was great fun.

Weekly Round Up

Week beginning 14th June

This week was refugee week, we started our week by sharing the story ‘The Journey’ and discussing our own journeys whether they be near or far.  Year 3 then had great discussions which prompted thoughtful and caring responses to those people in need of somewhere safe to live.  We studied 2 children’s stories of what their life was like as refugees.  We compared and contrasted our lives to those children journeys and discussed how we can help and make a difference.  We made a book of welcome to year 3 for anyone new joining our class, wrote our dreams and aspirations and narrowed down items we would take if forced to leave our country.

We had a lovely, thought provoking week and I am really touched by the kindness and compassion shown by year 3. 

This week we took our learning outside for maths and worked on place value of 3 digit numbers using the world around us.  

We also went outside for our PE lesson to get ready for our class sports day.  We competed in a traditional egg and spoon race, played pebble plop and our favourite crazy capers! We cannot wait for sports day!

Weekly Round Up -

Week beginning 7th June 2021

This week we took our zones of regulation lesson outside to decide what zone we would be in with different situations.  
 

We also had the introduction to our context this term of ‘Journeys’. Year 3 children brought in a range of objects that were special to their families, culture and heritage and it was an absolute pleasure to share in these moments with the children.

In literacy we learnt about recounts.  We read the story meerkat mail, sequenced the story and retold our own versions to our class.

We practiced the long jump and relay races ready for sports day in PE and had an online workshop from Techniquest to begin to learn about Captain Scott and his journey.

Weekly Round Up -

Week beginning 24th May

This week we have been taking part in our DT project to design and make a rollercoaster - we couldn’t test them though (something about safety) so we used a marble.

The first step was the design stage, we used a TASC wheel to help us through the different stages.

Next was the let’s do it part - we used team work, cooperation, trial and error and lots of other skills that helped us build our own rollercoasters.

After that, when they were built we were able to decorate and create an eye catching rollercoaster for our audience.

Now, for the most important part the testing and judging.  It was such a great afternoon to see everyone’s rollercoasters.

we had a great week this week and a lovely way to end of our Summer 1 term.  Happy holidays everyone!

Weekly Round Up -

Week beginning 17th May

Eid Mubarak to all of our families and children who celebrated Eid last week.  On Monday, to celebrate this special religious festival the children dressed up in their Eid clothes, shared their experiences and had a celebration in our class.  We had a lovely day celebrating, we hope you did too.

Thursday also marks international World Bee Day 🐝Year 3 took part by making bee bombs thanks to our boxes of potential from the first campus and we braved all weather to measure our sunflowers to see if they have grown 🌻.

We have also learnt how to double numbers with partitioning and played tennis in our PE lessons!
