Readers Theatre Fun in Year 3.

 

Readers' Theatre is a reading activity which involves reading a script aloud in a small group. This week in Year 3, the children have taken a script from their class novel - You are a Bad Man Mr Gum! The pupils worked in small groups to take turns to speak. They have applied their reciprocity skills to work alongside others and their resourcefulness skills to act imaginatively.

During this session, the children were concentrating on maintaining eye contact with their audience and displaying confidence when reading aloud.

The Year 3 staff have been blown away by the children's speaking skills, a huge well done to all of the children.

"We work as a team to rehearse the script. doing it with my friends makes it more fun!" - Hayden,  Cherry. 

"When reading you have to change your tone to make it interesting for the listeners." -  Ayra , Ash.

"I love readers theatre because we get to use our story voices." - Ronnie, Cedar.

Well done Year 3 on a fantastic week 3 at school! 

This week in Literacy we have continued creating our own shape poems. We worked as a class to share rhyming words, alliteration, repetition and onomatopoeia. Then, we independently planned these to support us in creating our own shape poems based on Georges Marvellous Medicine. 

In Math, we have moved onto a new topic - time! We learned our roman numerals up to 12, refreshed our memory on o' clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to and began telling the time to 5 minutes. We have loved using the clocks to support us in our learning. 

Well done Year 3!

What a fabulous week, we have had in Year 3!

The children completed their independent write in Literacy informing others how to look after and care for their chosen pet, by writing their very own fact files.

In Maths, we have been continuing with mass and capacity, adding and subtracting different volumes, which has been tricky for many of the children, but as always, they have demonstrated great resilience to keep on trying to problem solve.

We also had a wonderful time creating, making and baking our very own healthy muffins in DT. The children got to use their new skills to chop, grate, slice and peel the fruit. We finished by tasting and evaluating our delicious, healthy treats!

It has been a very busy week and the children have all been superstars. This week's certificate winners are;

Super Survival Skills!

 

On , the Year 3 children put their survival skills to the test by taking on the very dangerous terrain also known as the school field!

They had to display resilience, resourcefulness, reciprocity and reflectiveness to ensure that they could survive in the wild.

The children had to work together to solve the first problem of how to make a fire and what resources they would need. After mastering task 1 it was swiftly on to the next challenge - how to build a shelter, the children demonstrated great reciprocity during this task as well as using their resourcefulness skills to locate materials and then build a shelter that would protect them from the elements. The last challenge that awaited the children, was working out which plants, flowers and berries would be safe to eat and which would make them poorly. They demonstrated great reflectiveness skills during this part of the challenge, planning carefully using the key and plant guide and discussing their learning with their peers.

This week in Literacy, we have been writing our balanced arguments, ending with our opinion stating if we think Peter should have given up his search for the book of immortality. 

In Math, we have continued dividing a 2 digit number by a 1 digit number. This week, we looked at dividing using flexible partitioning and with remainders. We used lolly sticks to divide by 3, 4 and 5 creating shapes. Any lolly sticks we had left over would be the reminder!
