Year 3 Update

We have been conquering time in maths this week, learning how to read an analogue clock to the minute. Although we have found this challenge, with regular practise at home and in school we will become masters of time! We have also been learning and practising a range of times tables games so that we can play these at home to help us practise! We look forward to sharing these with on Tuesday afternoon at the Year 3 parent workshop. 

We have become more aware of our bodies and our surroundings this week in PSHE. We have been given the task of creating a display to help show the school and our visitors how we keep safe in school including what, who and how we achieve this. It is really good to see how safe and confident the children feel in their school. We have also been on the Life Bus this week where we were able to help Harold with his homework, learning about the internal organs of the body and their functions. We have considered how our brain works and what it needs. This has helped us to realise how the things we do and how we feel can effect us on the inside. The children have been really reflective and we are proud of them all. 


Our topic adventures have continued this week as we have designed and made prototypes for our natural trail posts. The children had to saw wood themselves to build their posts. Their sensible and mature attitudes have allowed them to create some fantastic prototypes. 


Towns class have completed their music unit this week and have used percussion instruments to create a piece of music that represents an animal of their choice. They worked well in teams to plan their performances and record their compositions using symbols to represent how and when each instrument was played. This week was also the end to Done class's swimming lessons. Every child has made fantastic progress over the 5 weeks and have developed their water confidence and skills. Town's swimming lessons commence on Monday 17th June and Done will begin their music journey.
