What a great start back to school after half term our Year 3 class have had!
We have been learning about Shape and Measure in Maths. We measured each other’s wrists, as Ms Caldwell has promised to make each of us a beaded bracelet, so we needed to ensure our measuring would be accurate and record the results.
We also measured each other’s heights using metres and centimetres – we think we have all grown this year!
In English we have been looking at the beginning of the story of Pinocchio, when Master Cherry was shocked at hearing a piece of wood pleading not to be chopped by an axe!
We took on the roles of the characters and, under the direction of a classmate, acted out the scene. We then continued our own humorous renditions, ensuring we had correctly punctuated the dialogue between the characters.
Our unit this half term in Geography is ‘Mountains and Rivers’ and we started by learning about the Water Cycle. We were amazed to learn that the water we use today has been around for millions of years!
To help us learn the new vocabulary and the order we re-created each part of the cycle to actions and took our learning outside!
We were evaporated into the atmosphere then turned into a cloud of condensation before being blown by the wind to the highest point before precipitation fell and we were ‘run off’ back towards the sea!
And it is only the first week of the term – we can’t wait to see where our learning takes us next!
