Year 3 have enjoyed creating and exploring branching databases in our computing lessons this week. They have created fantastic questions and answers for their partners to solve!
In R.E yesterday, Year 3 enjoyed working in groups to identify what they could see, notice and wonder about Hindu shrines. There were some fantastic answers!
Year 3 thoroughly enjoyed our cricket session yesterday morning! We definitely have some natural cricket players in our class, who showed incredible skills and abilities. Well done Year 3!
Year 3 had a wonderful time on Thursday celebrating VE Day with the rest of the school! What a fantastic day it was!
Year 3 had a fantastic time at the Discovery Museum in Newcastle.
When we arrived we split into groups to explore some of the exhibits including the Romans and working lives of men and women across the years.
After lunch we had our workshop all about light and shadows. The children each made a camera obscura and had lots of fun! It was an excellent introduction to our new science topic this term.
Year 3 used their knowledge of L.S.Lowry to create their own ‘Lowry style’ drawings. They based their pictures on his ‘Going to work’ piece but instead had, ‘Coming out of school’, by using photographs they had taken themselves of classes coming out of school for their lunch break.
The class concentrated on drawing dark, thin and elongated shapes for the children, without much detail, to make ‘matchstick children’. Using dark, gloomy colours they did their best to replicate Lowry’s style.
On Friday afternoon, Year 3 explored the outdoors to find magnetic and non-magnetic materials. The children used their magnets to tests different materials on our yard. We then had a discussion about why these materials might be magnetic or non-magnetic!
Yesterday, Year 3 thoroughly enjoyed their computing lesson. They focused on sequences and exploring commands in Scratch.
The children needed to understand what a sequence is, how to combine sound commands and order these into their very own sequences on Scratch using the IPads. Their results were fantastic!
Year 3 had a wonderful time visiting Jarrow library!
We had two fantastic stories read to us which we really enjoyed and then we were able to choose our own library books to take back to school with us. We loved exploring all the different books in the library.
Year 3 have been using flashback four questions in maths today!
We have been developing our problem solving skills whilst working with partners. We were consolidating our learning of our most recent topic fractions before we move onto our new unit mass and capacity.
Year 3 loved learning all about fractions!!
