DINOSAURS INVADED THE CLASSROOM – Measure lesson

Today, all the Year 3 classrooms were invaded by two dinosaurs who destroyed the classroom and left behind footprints, dinosaur food, dinosaur dribble and dinosaur eggs. In order to find out more about these dinosaurs who came to Year 3, the children put all they have learnt about measure to good use! The used rulers to find the perimeter of the dinosaur feet and find the length of the dinosaur food (leaves, must have been herbivores!) , used scales to weigh the dinosaur eggs and measuring jugs to measure the volume of each dinosaur’s dribble.

3HL – History and Science

Another successful foundation Friday for 3HL – they have taken part in a range of lessons from French, Art, Music, History and Science!

Here are some photos from our first scientific test of finding out which surfaces cause more friction and also some from our history lesson where the children worked in pairs to figure out the best route for their train lines from Bristol to London!

 

3HL Forest school

Wow, what a fantastic first session of Forest school had by 3HL this week! There was lots going on from tree climbing, to building dens, feeding sheep and even making mud soup. The children then finished their session with a nice cup of hot chocolate and a biscuit!

3R PE lesson

Today we had PE in class as the hall was being used. We moved all the tables and chairs out of the way and played a very active and intense game of rock, paper, scissors!

We had to play out opponents, then move to either the winning or losing side by side stepping like a crab. Then we changed our movements to become a rock, paper or scissor with our whole body! We played a few rounds trying to be as small and quiet as we could, and as big and loud as we could.

Foundation Friday

Year 3 have had an amazing day throughout our first week of Foundation Friday. They all loved learning Three Little Birds by Bob Marley and they can’t wait to get the glockenspiels out next week! They enjoyed telling us everything they already know about forces and exploring the magnets. We have some  mini Di Vinci’s on our hands after our self-portrait lesson and we had some great fun creating codes on scratch!  

3R History Timeline

This week in History we put together a timeline tracking the history of Britain! We had pictures that represented different periods of time and worked out in pairs where on the timeline our pictures should go.

Then we had inventions from across time, from the wheel to the iPhone, which we used to guess when they were made. This caused a lot of discussions – including about whether TVs were around in Victorian times!

We also focused in on the Georgians, as that is our topic for this term, and looked at some drawings which represented the time. Finally we watch the Horrible Histories ‘Four Georges’ song and learnt about all the Kings who reigned in Georgian Britain!
