Hard work!

Year 3 are doing a lot of work on Mungo And The Picture Book Pirates. Here we are writing an alternate ending.

Healthy eating

Step 2

We tried all sorts of different shop bought sandwiches and began to discuss the filling, what it looks like, the smell, the flavour and the texture. 

Healthy eating

Following on from health week, year 3 are creating their own healthy sandwiches. 

Step one is to try different types of bread.

The children tasted loads of bread.

Pita, naan, white, wholemeal, 50-50, wrap, baguette, ciabatta, tiger loaf and finally Mrs Eckton's homemade bread. 

Thank you

A big thanks to everyone to came to cheer the children on at sports day. It was lovely to see you all. Thank you also, to the parents who helped us to walk 130 children down to South Shore Academy and back again. I know some of you went off to work afterwards. 

From the Year 3 team.

Health week

We have learned that it is not always about physical exercise, but about rest time too.

Here are some of us doing peer massage.

Here are are doing the Tour de Thames.

We wonder which class will be the fastest and travel the furtherst. 

Having a go!

Protractors are tricky tools to use in maths. Here is 3JE having a go! 

Global renewables

Having been to the centre in Leyland. The children have come up with action plans on what we could do in school to help our environment. These were collecting rainwater, making a bug hotel, pre-order school dinners and having a waste free lunch.

 Sharing our action plans. 

Geometry

3JE are exploring geometry this week in maths. Please look out for different types of lines. 

They might be parallel, diagonal, horizontal, vertical or perpendicular lines. 

Happy hunting! 

Editing our work

All writers edit their work when they think they have finished. We have read it ourselves, shared it with a partner and now we are making improvements for our class book of alternative Fairy Tales.

We are looking forward to seeing the finished product. 

Looking at skeletons through art.

Some great pieces of art work in progress, in the style of Henry Mattise. 

And a very messy classroom, sorry Cleaning Team! But we have really enjoyed ourselves. 

Learning to read a map

We have used maps of Blackpool to find out where we live and how to get around our local streets.

Deciding left and right was a bit tricky sometimes.

Plants need light

We have been looking what plants need to grow healthily. 

Look carefully and you can see where the leaf was covered up.

Ask me what had happened. 

Peer assessment

We have been sharing our work with our Talking Partner. We helped each other to celebrate our good work. Then helped each other improve it.

We like sharing. 

 

Investigating Science

Using microscopes.

Looking at slides of plant parts.

Exploring number

Adding 100's, 10's and 1's.

Using dice to create numbers.

New equipment to help us.

Working together in English

In literacy we have worked together to write notes about Poo Power. This power source was used to get Shelia the Hippo to the moon in our story. 

Looking forward to reading an explanation of how it works. 

Learning about fossils

Using games to learn tricky things. The children are trying to become a fossil. The game shows just how hard it is.

Year 3 camp

We have the opportunity to take 30 children camping in the summer term. There will be a parents meeting on Thursday 5th March at 3pm to give you more details. 

Building pyramids

We used Lego.

We used stiff paper.

To make 3D models.

Looking forward to reading an explanation of how it works. 

PE has moved

Just a note to tell you that Y3 now has PE on Wednesday. Please make sure your children have their kits in, that they are named and in a named bag. This will help us to reunite any left kit to its rightful owner! 

Many thanks Year 3 and the PE team 

Year 3 trip to Liverpool

Please remember 3ZH, your trip is on Wednesday. 

Soil Science

R

Working scientifically to find out what is in different soils. 

Working together.

 4 different soils. 

Using Thesaurus.com

We are using a thesaurus to gather exciting words for our description writing.

What's under our feet?

Sometimes things are easier to explain in science if we use a model.

This is a model of a slice (cross section) through the Earth.

Grass

Organic matter

Topsoil

Subsoil

Bedrock

Earth's crust

Under the Earth's crust 

Using the laptops.

We are learning how to use the internet to find things out.
