  • Year 3 Blog - Heroes

    Published 25/09/20, by Admin

    We have many heroes in this classroom. After an assembly about making small differences that add up to big changes, two Year 3 heroes litter picked for their entire breaktime.

    During art, children experimented with their paint brushes and water colours. They were (amazingly) neat, yet colourful, and creative. There were multiple techniques that the children had to master with the brush and the end results were very creative. 

    In Maths, I had further classroom heroes,  children who challenged themselves without fear of error and children who carefully unpicked difficult question. We worked on place value questions and the children have learnt varying ways in which to represent numbers using pictures and resources. 

    In English, our classroom heroes took feedback, acted on it and made a lovely setting descriptions. The were writing about what it looks like to live in the Stone Age. We practised by describing photos that our friends couldn't see, but later had to draw using our descriptions. Later, we Freeze Framed our future story plans, that we aer preparing to write next week about the Stone Age.

    I would like to add that I am very impressed with the attitudes of Year 3 students. They listen well, are very respectful and are enjoyable to teach.  It has been a great start to the year.

    Firstly I would like to mention how impressed I am with the maturity, alertness and enthusiasm of the Snow leopard class. Their attitude is commendable.

    In English, we are continuing our work with Stone Age Boy. We have looked at fronted adverbials and spotted what a good setting description looks like. 

    In Maths, we have been playing around with numbers up to 1000. We've played with dienes, counters, number lines and grids. 

    For Art this week, we made blobs of primary colours and noticed what different colours came out when they mixed. 

    We had tennis for PE and we focused on the backhand. There were some super stars in the class, who were able to teach others, encourage and praise. 

    Reminders:

    PE will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays

    Library book changes on Thursday

    Round up of the week

    We have had a relaxed start to the week, as there have been many new things for the children to get used to. This has not deterred them and every day they have shown up with enthusiasm and big smiles. We have looked at how we learn and we did this by learning to juggle. It was tricky and we thought about the skills that we need in order to become excellent learners.

    We also started our Stone Age Topic, which involved building a fire (small sticks first), trying to start a fire, by rubbing a long smooth stick against a flat log with dry grass at the bottom and going on a scavenger hunt in order to find food.

    Art

    We have painted self-portraits and some have already been displayed around the school. We also learnt about the primary colours and how to wake up water colours.

    English

    This week we started our new book, Stone Age Boy. We made predictions about what might happen in the story and read through the book.

    Maths

    We have begun to look at place value to 100. We have written numbers, verbalised numbers, identified the values of digits and partitioned numbers.

  • Y3 Science Monday 14.9

    Published 09/09/20, by Emma Lever

    Good morning everyone,

    This term in science, we will be studying what plants need to keep them strong and healthy.  Although the children will already have ideas and some good knowledge about this, we are developing their scientific enquiry skills by encouraging them to test their theories and recording data.

    On Monday, we will begin by setting up some investigations with some bean seedlings.  It would be very helpful if you are able to provide your child with a bean seedling, if at all possible, as we will need quite a few to get the most from the investigation.  The easiest seedlings are bean seedlings with reasonably robust leaves and stem that can withstand interrogation from a Y3 child!

    Please let me know if there are any plant allergies I should be aware of at, emma.lever@brockenhurstpri.co.uk .

    Many thanks,

    Miss Lever
