Busy Bees!

We have had a very busy week in year 3! Our first 5 day week in a while! In Maths, we have started to build on our knowledge of time and looking at 5 minute intervals on an analogue clock. This was a little challenging for us all so any extra practice on this at home would be very much appreciated. In English, we have been preparing for our persuasive leaflet on Olympia, PE was great fun with Amy this week building on the children’s athletic skills. Finally in Science, we have were looking at magnetic strength and carrying out an investigation using paper clips. This was a fantastic problem solving lesson with children highlighting when the test hadn’t been fair and how we could improve on this. Next week we have our trip to the Leeds Museum and the Art Gallery which we are all looking forward to!
Sculptors in action!

On Thursday, year 3 completed their clay sculptures in the style of Barbara Hepworth during our art lesson. There was an incredible buzz in the classroom as the children really put their all into their work. They supported one another, offered suggestions as well as creating, evaluating and redrafting. Next week we will be evaluating them and sharing our work as a class. Have a look for yourself!

Friction Investigators!
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
This week in Science we have been learning about friction as well as exploring which materials provide the most friction. We carried out a class experiment to investigate this, focusing on how to keep the investigation fair as well as comparing our results. We had a real variety of predictions but we found that carpet and bubble wrap provided the most friction when sending a car down a ramp.
SUMMER PE

We enjoyed a wonderful quick cricket taster session with Amy from the YMCA who will be teaching us all about athletics in the summer term. It was amazing to be outside in the sunshine and we definitely have some keen cricketers in Year 3! The children will be putting their skills to the test during break times.
