Date: 8th Feb 2018 @ 5:09pm
We had fun in the hall and classroom today developing our numeracy skills. Number Bingo was very popular as we secured our number recognition.

We used Numicon resources and bead strings to secure ten in our head and to help us see that we don't need to keep counting from one.

Year 3 Science , by Miss Jones
Date: 2nd Feb 2018 @ 1:42pm
Year 3 have been working very hard on their rocks topic in science and they would like to show you some of their most recent investigations.
The 'Choc' Cycle
To help the children understand how each different type of rock is formed, we used chocolate to speed up the rock cycle. Melted chococlate represented igneous rock being formed underground from magma and lava. We then grated the chocolate to show the effects of weathering and how rocks break up into bits of sediment. Next, we layered the different sediment on top of each other to represent the formation of sedimentary rock. Finally, we used pressure and heat from our hands and squeezed the sedimentary rock to show how metamorphic rock is formed. The children recorded their observations as we went and they were able to use the correct scientific vocabularly.
Fossils
On Tuesday, the children looked at images of fossils and discovered four different types; trace fossils, body fossils, cast fossils and mold fossils. The children made excellent information posters about each fossil before making their very own mold fossil! These are currently drying out but once they are dry, the children will be able to take their fossils home.

Year 3 are SPaG detectives , by Miss Jones
Date: 31st Jan 2018 @ 5:48pm
The children in year 3 used their best detective skills this morning in English. Over the past week, the children have worked incredibly hard on writing their very own Stone Age adventure story. Their challenge was to include various examples of the SPAG concerts we have learnt so far, in their writing including, prepositional phrases, conjunctions, expanded noun phrases, possessive apostrophes and adverbs. They enjoyed using magnifying glasses to spot the SPaG and recorded their findings using an evidence form.
I can’t wait to read everyone’s stories!

As our English text focuses on Plop, an owl who is afraid of the dark, Mrs Hargreaves set the children a task of creating their own birds nest at home. Look at the outstanding effort which the children (and their families) have gone to by creating these amazing birds nests.
