Year 3 certificates

 

Welcome back to school year 3! We have had a great week welcoming everyone back and have started our final term off superbly. 

This week we have started our new topics and have enjoyed finding out what we will be learning about this half term. In Maths we are looking at fractions again. In Literacy, we have been introduced to our new book: Stone Age Boy. 

Our certificate winners have done especially well to stand out in a 4 day week, so a huge well done to our winners.

Authors Aloud!

On Wednesday, the children experienced a live author event, to celebrate Earth Day (22nd April) with a focus on climate and environmental literacy, by joining an online session with James Sellick, who read his picture book, There’s a Rang-tan in my Bedroom. 

 

There’s a Rang-tan in my Bedroom is a story about a baby orangutan that suddenly shows up in a young girl’s bedroom. At first, the girl isn’t best pleased, but when she finds out why the orangutan is there, everything changes. As well as the reading, James spoke about the important topic of deforestation for palm oil and helped children understand what they can do to help. 

The children followed up the discussion by applying their resourcefulness skills to design posters informing others of the dangers of deforestation.

“ Orangutang’s arms can measure up to 7 feet long !” - Bruno

"My favourite part was when I got to design a poster to make people aware." - Lily

"We mustn't keep cutting down the trees." - Amari

Super Scientists in Year 3

 

Today in Science, Year 3, looked at the human skeleton. The children were asked the research question 'What if my bones were bendy ?' and then had to discuss this with their partner and feedback to the class. The children then went on to discuss what a skeleton is and the importance of it. After, the children worked in groups and drew their skeleton and any of the bones they already knew. The children finished the lesson on their chromebooks, researching three bones and their function / job and shared their information with the class. All children showed great receprocity skills, working with others and sharing their ideas.

“Without a skeleton we would be like jelly !” - Max

"The skull protects the brain ." - Dani

“ Without my skeleton, I could not move.” - Rio

It's been a very busy term of learning in Year 3 and the children have worked hard in school, but also at home. One of the children's weekly jobs is to practice their spellings at home for their spelling test on Friday and it's been wonderful to see the Year 3 cohort make progress this half term. 

Thank you parents for all you do to support the children to practice their spellings, this really does help to make a real difference!

Some children in Year 3 have managed to get full marks on their spellings across the entire Spring Term. 

A huge congratulations to the following children.
