World Book Day

We've had a busy few days with World Book day as well as our usual lessons.  It was great fun dressing up as our favourite book characters.

In Maths, we have been continuing to work our way up the subtraction pathway and learning to solve two-step word problems.  

In R.E. we are exploring what Christians think is good about Good Friday.  In our last lesson, we retrieved what he had learnt about the Last Supper before listening to what happened next in the Garden of Gethsemane.  To help us understand the feelings of Jesus and Judas, we acted out this part of the Easter Story then used hot seating to ask the main characters how they felt about the events of Maundy Thursday.

In French, we have been learning colours and shapes.  We used this knowledge when we worked with a partner, asking them in French to cut out different shapes in particular colours.  Take a look at what we produced.

Pentatonic Scales

During this term, year 3 have been learning about PENTATONIC SCALES.  After listening to a story about the Chinese New Year, we leant that Chinese music uses five notes.  This is known as a pentatonic melody. We have been practising on glockenspiels using pentatonic scales.  Take a look on Flickr to see how we did

Y3 Eden Project Trip

Y3 have recently visited the Eden Project in Cornwall to learn about plants. Whilst we were there, we sketched the plants that we saw and were amazed at the size of some of them in the rainforest biome.

Back at school, we are now using our sketches as inspiration for our latest art project on Matisse and printing. Having drawn different shapes for the leaves, we are now learning the technique or printing with polystyrene tiles and how much pressure to put on the tile when drawing our design. It's tricky but we have been showing great resilience.

Outdoor P.E Session

During our outdoor P.E. sessions, we have been experimenting with different bats and racquets, to improve our hand-eye coordination and become better batters and players.

Computing

In computing, we are learning how to make a stop frame animation.  So far we have learnt that it is possible to make a still image move by creating a flip book or taking separate photographs of an image which is changed slightly and putting it into a movie app.  
By the end of the term, we are hoping to plan, write and create our own stop frame animation.
