Year 3 Certificates

 

Wow! We have had another fantastic week of learning in Year 3. All of the children truly impress us every single day with their continued effort in their work, their presentation skills and ability to focus. 

In Maths this week, we have continued with our Fractions topic, we have looked at unit fractions and have been consolidating our knowledge of quarter, halves and a whole.

We have had exciting Literacy lessons, beginning by drawing and annotating our story maps before moving on to character descriptions, role play, hot seating and finally making our own time capsules for both the Stone Age and modern day.

In Science, the children have continued investigating and exploring different types of rocks and have even made their very own rocks!

As always, it has been another eventful week full of learning, exploring and investigating. All of the children have been super engaged and focused, which always makes our job of choosing the certificate winners tricky, but here we have our week 2 super stars:

Year 3's Super Starburst Rocks!

Super Starburst Rocks! 

 

In Science this term, Year 3 are learning all about the Earths rocks. They have investigated the different types of rocks and today, they have developed their understanding of the different rock families. They extended their learning of sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous rocks by making their very own rocks out of starburst! This helped them visualise the different rocks and how they are formed, building on their resourcefulness skills. 

'It was fun using starburst to make different rocks!' - Ryan 

'The starburst cut up into little pieces represent the sediments of rock.' - Zuriel

'When it was in our hands, it heated the starburst to form metamorphic rocks!' - Aida

'Lots of layers form sedimentary rock!' - Faramade
