Ness Gardens (year 3) more added, by Miss Jones
Date: 26th Jun 2017 @ 7:50pm
We have had a wonderful time at Ness Gardens today. We had a fabulous tour of the Gardens and even saw a banana tree! Afterwards, we dissected a flower and talked about each part's important role in pollination. We also searched for different species of bee and did a mini beast hunt. We found a young toad, baby frogs, earwigs, a mosquito, woodlice and spiders. When it was time for lunch, we enjoyed a picnic on the grass. In the afternoon, we had explored the Gardens further and even got a chance to play in the play area.
The children asked excellent questions today and listened brilliantly to our guide, Rose. She even commended the children on how much they already knew about plants. I was so proud of the children today and gave them all 2 stickers on their sticker charts.
Thank you you to Mrs Holmes, Mrs Ruston, Mrs Lloyd and Mrs Evans for coming along with us. Your support was really appreciated and we hope you enjoyed the Gardens as much as we did.

Year 3 Science - What will my plant need to help it grow?, by Miss Jones
Date: 19th Jun 2017 @ 3:25pm
Today in science, we planted our own flowering plant. We talked about everything a plant needs to help it grown into a strong and healthy plant. We will be sure to keep it in a warm place with lots of sunlight and we will water it everyday. Keep an eye out in the gallery for updates on how our plants are growing....
Angle Eaters in Year 3, by Miss Jones
Date: 19th Jun 2017 @ 3:04pm
Today in maths we were learning about right angles. To help us identify right angles in and around the classroom, we made our very own angle eater. They are very fussy and will only eat right angles. Check out our gallery to see the different places we found right angles.
Year 3 Science - What is a shadow? , by Miss Jones
Date: 14th Jun 2017 @ 3:43pm
Year 3 have had such a busy day today, investigating what shadows are. We started by striking a pose outside to see what happens when our bodies block the light.
Then we combined science, DT and literacy for a shadow investigation. We wanted to understand how shadows are formed so we decided to make the different characters (Rhodopis, pirates and the servants) and settings (pyramids, pirate ship, palm trees) from the opening of the Egyptian Cinderella. We then performed the opening in our colour groups. Thank you to year 1 for letting us borrow your classroom so we had a light source (projector) and a screen to perform on.
We had lots of fun designing, constructing and acting with our puppets. Check out our gallery for today...

Year 3 have arrived and are all settled in at Tattenhall. We have had lots of fun already; inside and outdoors. This afternoon, we enjoyed outdoor team building games and orienteering. We have just finished our dinner and jelly and will be setting off on our Millenium Mile walk shortly.
Year 3 Science - Why do we need light to see things?, by Miss Jones
Date: 8th May 2017 @ 5:16pm
Today in science, we started out new topic; light and dark. We wanted to investigate the question, why do we need light to see things? We found out about different light sources and how they helped us to see things by producing light. We even did an experiment to test whether we could see things without a light source. We tried to identify objects in dark, feely bags. We concluded that we could only tell what the objects were when we opened the bag and let a light source in.
Year 3 Science - What is soil made up of?, by Miss Jones
Date: 8th May 2017 @ 5:12pm
On Friday, Year 3 ventured outside for their science lesson. We were learning about rocks and soils and wanted to know what soil was made up of. To help us, Miss Jones hid clue cards outside on the playground. The children had to then find out what was in soil and why it was important. The children were amazed to find out that soil had clay, silt, organic matter, water, sand, air and animals in it!
Welcome to Paige Sanders from the University of Chester, by Mrs Bailey

The 'Choc' Cycle - Year 3 Science, by Miss Jones
Date: 22nd Mar 2017 @ 8:51pm
We had lots of fun today in science. We were learning about the rock cycle and used chocolate to help us understand how the three different types of rocks are formed. Here is what we found out:
The melted chocolate represented the molten rock or magma that is turns to lava when a volcano erupts. When lava cools, it forms igneous rocks.
Grating the chocolate igneous rocks represented the process of weathering where rivers and the weather break up rocks into bits of sediment.
We layered the 'sediment' and put pressure on the top to show how sedimentary rocks are formed.
When this set, we cut it open to reveal the layers inside.
Finally, we took some of the sedimentary rock and squeezed it in our hands to represent the amount of pressure and heat needed to turn a sedimentary rock into a metamorphic rock.
Using chocolate really helped us understand the different stages to the rock cycle ☺️

Christmas Carols at Waitrose (Y3), by Miss Jones
Date: 9th Dec 2016 @ 2:00pm
On Friday 9th December, the Year 3 children walked to Waitrose and bravely performed some of their favourite Christmas songs. The sung beautifully to the big audience who had gathered inside the store. They performed for an hour and then had a little snack at the juice bar. Mrs Davies and Miss Jones were very impressed with the children's behaviour when walking along the canal and when inside the store. They really were a credit to the school.
Thank you to Jude's mum, Vinny's mum, Amelia's mum and Erin's mum for helping us. Also, a very special thanks must go to Mrs Davies who has helped the children perfect their performance every Wednesday over the past few weeks.
Miss Jones.

Art and Design Technology in year 3, by Miss Jones
Date: 15th Nov 2016 @ 9:49pm
Year 3 have been very busy over the last week. We have been working on sketching Stone Age weapons and tools using different pencil tones and textures. We then designed our own tool ready to make using bamboo canes, string and stones. The children experimented with different fixing techniques. They particularly enjoyed using the hacksaws to cut their handles to the correct length.
Then the children had a go at creating their own cave art style picture using tea stained paper and oil pastels. They have worked very hard to make items for our display. Watch this space to see the finished display....

Meet the Sugar Detectives, by Miss Jones
Date: 5th Oct 2016 @ 5:06pm
Think Before You Drink!
Did you know that children should have no more than 24g of sugar per day?
Following our visit to Tesco last week, we decided to investigate just how much sugar there is in our favourite drinks. We read the nutritional information to find out the sugar content in grams. Then we weighed out the amount in real sugar. We were surprised by the amount of sugar in apple juice and fruit smoothies because we predicted they would be healthier. Did you know apple juice can have up to 11g of sugar per 100ml?
Here is what we found out: least to most amount of sugar per bottle
Water - 0g
Fanta - 17g
Fruit Smoothie - 26g
Coke - 27g
Chocolate Milk - 28g
Ribena - 29g
Vimto - 29g
Volvic Fruit Water - 31g
7up - 36g
Apple Juice - 44g
Lucozade - 48g
Can I cook and eat like a Stone Age man? , by Miss Jones
Date: 3rd Oct 2016 @ 8:37pm
We have been busy bees in year 3 this afternoon. As part of our topic, from Stone Age to Iron Age, we prepared and cooked stewed fruit with hazelnuts and honeycomb. We followed a Stone Age recipe; carefully measuring all of the ingredients before slowly stewing the fruit. Thank you to Mrs Hilsden for cooking with us. Tomorrow we will taste our creations and evaluate our finished product.
European Day of Languages, by Miss Jones

We learnt how to say hello/goodbye, tell someone our name and count to ten, in 4 different languages. Katie taught us in Slovakian, Zofia taught us in Polish, Lindsay taught us in French and Miss Jones taught us in Welsh.
First week in year 3, by Miss Jones
Date: 14th Sep 2016 @ 8:37pm
What a busy week it has been!
The children have settled into year 3 really well and have enjoyed their first week in KS2. They have had a treasure hunt around the classroom to explore their new environment. They also enjoyed having a 'walk and talk' summer holiday catch up. On Thursday we had an 'all about me' theme to the day and learnt a lot about one another in literacy, maths and circle time. We have also been very creative and have had a go at ink blowing and self-portrait sketching. The children's art work will go on display soon so keep your eyes peeled ...
