Antarctic-Awe
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
I was going to put something about our science lesson on the blog today (there was much excitement for our torch investigation!!) but we had an even more exciting time this morning when we were part of the first EVER livestream from Antarctica, meeting Robert Swan OBE, who told us all about his current expedition as part of the 2041 Foundation. He is encouraging children to become ‘Champions of Antarctica’ by looking after the continent which belongs to all nations - he told us that if the whole of Antarctica was divided between all humans, we would technically own about a football pitch’s size each! The children were in awe and had lots of questions; oh and they especially enjoyed meeting Teddy, who has been by Robert’s side on each of his 40+ polar expeditions! Hopefully they are all still feeling inspired to take care of the world and have continued their learning about this amazing part of it!
PS If possible, please remember to bring a shoe box to school next week for Mrs Moleele’s DT project.
Tutoring and Spellings
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
The children in Year 3 have been working on their skills for supporting peers over the last couple of weeks. We have been calling it ‘peer tutoring’ and we have either worked in pairs or in whole class groups developing our listening, questioning and explanation skills, using clear voices and speaking in full sentences. Some have shown a real flair for it!
I apologise that the spellings didn’t go home in tonight’s rush! I will add them here now and have them ready to go home on Monday.

Year 3 have had a great week with lots of learning, ending with a fun Friday afternoon - some story miming, some Francais and even a danceathon for Children in Need!
It was also bit of a sad week as we said goodbye to Oliver. We will be thinking of you next week, Oliver, and hope that you enjoy being reunited with your friends at your new school - they’re lucky to have you. Thank you for being a special part of our class!

Hi everyone! Sorry not to see all the children today and to finish the week off as planned! I'm just sending a message regarding spellings as they of course were missed today - next week's spellings are below to practise; I appreciate that some of you may not be able to print a paper copy so I'm happy to accept spelling homework next week in whatever format you can manage! If you have any issues, please let Mrs Moleele know on Monday. Hope you have a lovely weekend - and hope this rain clears up! Fingers crossed school will be back open on Monday.
