Spring 1
ARISE - Anti-Racism Workshops
Miss Lawton from ARISE came and spoke to our children on Monday. ARISE: Anti-Racism in Schools and Education, provides anti-racism training and workshops for pupils. Children gained an increased awareness of what racism looks like and what they can do to work towards stopping racism.
Gardening
The Year 3 children were lucky enough to have some gardening sessions this term. The children used spotter sheets to identify various plants and animals and were even given the opportunity to look at a real bird's nest.
Centimetres, Millimetres and Metres - Oh My!
This week we have focused entirely on Measurement - specifically length. We have been using standard units such as centimetres, metres and millimetres.
Year 3F Visit to Pizza Express
As part of our learning in DT, we visited Pizza Express in Westfield London. This trip gave the children the opportunity to learn about selecting seasonal, quality ingredients, weighing them according to a recipe and then how these pizzas are made professionally.
Using Prepositions
As part of our Year 3 grammar, we focused on prepositions. We identified them in sentences and then rounded the lesson off with preposition bingo!
Measuring - Centimetres
We used rulers to measure in centimetres today! It's a key skill to have.
Measuring - Non-Standard Units
We began our new Maths unit of Length and Perimeter by measuring using different materials. We spoke about the idea of "non-standard units" - but problems arose! We figured out that we needed a standard unit - a unit that never changes. This will lead into our learning about centimetres and metres during the week.
Division with Remainders
Year 3 have been working tirelessly on division - especially with remainders. It's tricky, but we're getting there!
Using Mirrors
We have been speaking about how mirrors work in Year 3. Today we experimented with light and mirrors to see why mirrors are reflective.
Science - Light
We used torches to test how light reflected off different materials. We discovered that the best reflectors are shiny, smooth surfaces!
Multiplication (with exchange)!
We used Base Ten to build our multiplication sentences. Exchanging is tricky, but the Base Ten helps us to figure it out.
Introducing Ourselves in Spanish
Spanish
Mr Pastor taught us how to introduce ourselves in Spanish. We practiced this with our friends!
