This week, year 3 have been excellent investigators. They have been exploring rocks in their science lessons. They have been using scientific terms to describe the rocks. Then using a Venn diagram they have been comparing the rocks properties to see which are similar and which are different.

In writing 3H have been learning the hand actions to the story ‘Tell me a dragon by Jackie Morris’. As part of this they have spent time designing their own dragons and writing their own riddle to see if their classmates can solve it and work out what kind of dragon it is.

Take a look at some of their dragons:

We have been focussing on collaborative learning for the last two weeks and every single child has their name on the recognition board! Let’s keep this up! One of the ways that they have been learning collaboratively is in maths. They have worked brilliantly in pairs, making 2 digit numbers using Base 10.

Hello and welcome to 3H’s blog!

The first week of Year 3 has flown by. They have been working hard on getting back into routines and becoming familiar with the day. It has been lovely to get to know each of them this week and I am looking forward to the year ahead!

A highlight from this week has been tasting the delicious apples from the schools orchard. This was a lovely way to end the first week.
