3BD
Week commencing 18th November 2024!
This week, we have been exploring friction. Our big question was, 'What material would be the most effective for a skate ramp?'
We predicted our results and then tested a variety of materials. It was great to see 3BD explaining their observations.
In English, we have enjoyed immersing into the story of Charlie and the Chocolate factory. We are preparing to write a newspaper next week to discuss the 5 lucky winners! Keep a look out for some great examples.
Have a lovely weekend.
Week commencing 4th November 2024!
What an amazing first week back we have had!
I have seen a real difference in the resilience of 3BD. We have started a new topic on Kenya; exploring similarities and differences between Kenya and the UK. 3BD have fantastic prior knowledge of continents and capital cities. In English, we have explored the story 'Grace and Family', discussing different family structures and where they live. Next week, we will begin innovating this story. I cannot wait to read them!
Well done 3BD.
Week commencing 14th October 2024!
Our last week has been fantastic! We have collated everything that we have learnt about the Tower of London and took part in a Trust History Quiz. We have created poetry inspired by the story 'The Storm Whale' and evaluated the effectiveness of our fruit tarts for DT. Well done on a great first half term, 3BD. Have a lovely break and we will look forwarding to seeing you in November!
Week commencing 7th October 2024!
Another amazing week this week! We have explored the significance of the Tower of London over time in both English and History, looking deeper into the role of Beefeaters (or Yeoman as they are officially named). I have been amazed at the knowledge 3BD have retained on this subject and really enjoyed reading their non-chronological reports. We have ended the week by creating our own fruit tarts in DT. We planned our design, constructed our tart and cooked them in the oven.
I cannot wait to see what will happen next week!
Week Commencing 30th September 2024
Wow! We have had an amazing week, this week in 3BD. Finishing our week with a trip to the Tower of London, we feel that we have fully immersed into the past. Miss Dobson and I want to say a huge, well done, to all of 3BD. Staff at the Tower of London were amazed with their knowledge and so were we! It was great to see the children using their experience when returning to school, by embedding this knowledge into their English report writing. They were able to match their research with what they had seen in person. I think that next week we will have some fantastic pieces of writing ready to share on the blog on Friday. Keep your eyes peeled!
Week Commencing 23rd September 2024
This week, we have continued our research into the Tower of London. With the help of a time machine created by one of the children in 3BD, we held on tight as we were transported back to the 1500's, under the reign of King Henry VIII.
We researched the events of Anne Boleyn's downfall and even wrote a dairy entry of her last few days in the tower.
In Maths, we have continued to develop our knowledge of formal methods, but this time using subtraction. I have been so impressed with their speed and accuracy in using column method. Keep up the great work 3BD.
Week Commencing 16th September 2024
Where did it all begin? This is the question we have been exploring this week in History.
3BD have researched the origins of the Tower of London, revealing that it was originally build by King William I (A Norman King). We have labelled images of the Tower over time and explored the significance of the White Tower.
In Science, we have explored the importance of understanding what is in our food and its benefits on our bodies. 3BD have understood that a varied, balanced diet is important for development but also understand that treats are fine too! We have looked at restaurant menus and identified whether their meals are balanced, and looked at the food we eat at home as well. I have been very impressed by how much the children know and how responsible they are in ensuring they are trying to keep a balanced lifestyle.
Week Commencing 9th September 2024
Another brilliant week in 3BD. This week we have been exploring healthy food choices and recipes. In DT we learnt about how foods are transported and which foods are seasonal. This supported us in creating our own recipe for 'Fruit Kebabs'. Some of us tried their kebabs with syrup, as a inspiration from Japanese Fruit Kebabs using plum sauce. Delicious!
Week commencing 2nd September 2024!
Welcome back 3BD!
What a week we have had!
It has been lovely to see you all in your new uniforms, ready to start another exciting year.
This week, we have immersed ourselves into the land of fairytales! We have retold the story of Jack and the Beanstalk and we are preparing to innovate our own fairytale stories, next week.
In Maths, we have been exploring place value and I have been so impressed by the knowledge of number, in year 3.
Everyone has settled in so well this week. I hope that this continues.
We look forward to welcoming parents to our 'Meet and Greet' event next week.
Have a lovely weekend
