Orienteering
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
As part of Maths Day today, the children had fun having a starter lesson on our brand new orienteering course! They had to orient their maps to find various maths challenges around the field and playground. It was great to have a new challenge! They also enjoyed making tessellations this afternoon, inspired by Esher. Some of the children have taken the instructions home so you might get chance to see what we did over the weekend!

Magnet Fun
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
The children have been learning lots about magnets this week - they had found out which materials are and aren't magnetic and investigated metals in a little more detail. They also had to escape the classroom, which had been locked with a special code they had to uncover using their new-found knowledge! Thankfully they were successful so you can all go off together and have a lovely weekend, but they do have some homework before next lesson - to find put which material other than metal can also be magnetic…
P.S Please bring play costumes in asap in a named bag, if not already done so.
World Book Day
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
What a fab, fun World Book Day! The children looked super cosy in their pyjamas and we had lots of lovely book-related activities - a very competitive emoji quiz, a BBC lesson and art activity about our book behaviours, a mixed-year book buddy session, storytime with Miss Dakin and a couple of rounds of book Hangman to finish off. Keep up all the super reading, Year 3 - the skill that takes you on many adventures in life!
Stump Cross Caverns!
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
A fab day today on our trip to Stump Cross Caverns! The children went underground with their special finger torches to see wedding cakes, sandcastles and jewellery boxes formed from stalactites and stalagmites (can you remember which is which, Year 3?!) and had their own mini fossil dig before making an ammonite fossil to take home with them!
Thank you to our parent helpers, Matt and Elizabeth, for coming too! Hope you enjoyed the day!
Due to us being late back, no spellings have gone home tonight but the ones to practise (Week 2’s) are on the half termly sheet sent out on Wednesday and a copy will be on the website. I will leave the paper copy to go out on Monday. Happy weekend!
