As part of our Jubilee celebrations we our learning about ‘Jamaica’, one of the Commonwealth countries. Today we have created sunset pictures inspired by the beautiful locations in Jamaica.
2 Red are about to start some new learning in maths all about measuring. To start off our learning we became investigators. Many of us connected this back to measures we’ve seen or used while finding out about animals in our current Learning Means the World theme ‘Going Wild!’
We looked at various units of measure, what they mean and what they may be used for. We then put them into practice to play with it and experience it by using equipment to measure items around our classroom.
Don’t forget it’s our Jubilee Coffee morning in the school hall at 9am tomorrow.
Isla, who plays for Jarrow Lionesses Under 8’s, has helped her team to win the league and cup in their first season together. She has been resilient, prepared and brave when playing in every game, which are the traits we use everyday in year 3 as an adventurer.
We are very proud of you Isla, Keep it up!
Well done to 6 red, for your hard work this past week with all things coordinates!
We have ‘played with it‘ and ‘explored it‘ through practical learning, before applying these skills to ‘apply it‘ within our maths learning!
Coordinates are such a fundamental skill to learn, as it prepares us for real-life experiences such as map reading, chess, battleships and digital gaming… to name a few!
This week, as part of our “Land Ahoy ” theme, we have been designing and creating our own pirate remote controls.
Our brief was to design a remote control for a pirate to use. We had to consider his needs and use the information we were given to create something unique to him. Here are some of the designs and the finished products.
During Children’s Mental Health Week, we used some of our time this afternoon to complete an activity for Together Tuesday.
We used this time to think about and look at our support bubble and who is around us to support us and lift us up.
3 Blue completed their own hot air balloon to show all of the people who are around to support them – this allowed the children time to reflect on who they can approach when they need support.
1 Blue have worked really hard looking at related facts in their maths work. We “played with it” by finding the fact families, “developed it” with our friends before “connecting our learning”.
Great job 1 Blue!
