Broadford SPAG Detectives & Fact Hunters

 

A big WELL DONE to our SPaG Detectives and Fact Hunters. 

As a school, we believe that by encouraging a thirst for knowledge, you can develop a deeper understanding of the world around us. Every week, children will be asked to find an original, well-researched fact that they would like to share with the school. 

Our students believe in applying our SPaG skills to real life situations. SPaG includes our spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors. Every week, children are asked to solve a SPaG activity or present any SPaG errors that have solved throughout the week.

Well done to all of the amazing children who have worked incredibly hard to earn their SPAG detective and Fact Hunter certificate. We are all very proud of you.

Well done to Leonard, Thomas and Faizah (Yr 4's) for achieving the SPAG detective award this week.

Well done to Aimen, Aksanan, Awwal, Autumn and Viviana (Yr 4's)

for achieving the Fact Hunter award this week.

Well done everyone!

Year 3 Super Scientists !

This week in science we have been learning how light travels in straight lines and how opaque objects create shadows as the light is being blocked by the opaque object. We tested different materials to see if they were opaque and created a shadow, translucent and let some light through or transparent and you were clearly able to see through them .We then decided which materials would be useful for different sources, for example, an opaque pair of curtains in a baby’s bedroom but a transparent piece of glass for a window with a lovely view. The children showed great reciprocity skills, working together to test the different materials and draw conclusions from their investigation.

Francesca - “The paper is opaque. The light can not shine through!"

Pranav - “Translucent materials let light through but you can't see through it clearly!"

Areya -"Transparent materials let light through clearly."

Camila -" Opaque objects create a shadow !"

Christmas Message from Year 4

 

Christmas Message from Year 3

 

Year 3's Magnificent Maths!

 

This term Year 3 have been learning all about addition and subtraction with 2 digit and 3 digit numbers. 

They have been using dienes, base 10, place value counters and the column method to help them add and subtract. We have been learning all about 'regrouping' and 'exchanging' using visuals such as base 10 and abstract methods such as the column method! 

 We use the technique of 'My turn, your turn' where we show them how to work out a calculation using one of these methods and they practice on their whiteboards throughout the lesson before starting their task. This helps them develop their understanding before becoming independent. 

It has been fantastic to see them develop their skills and the year 3 team are very proud of their determination! They are becoming little experts! 

'We regroup when there is more than 9 in one column!' - Megan 

'We exchange when we use subtraction.' - Alex 

'We always start at the ones column when we add or subtract!' - Asher

Next term, we will start to look at multiplication and division. We will be using similar methods to make sure the children can deepen their learning and understanding.
