How big is the classroom?
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
Last week in maths, the whole school was set a mathematical challenge of finding out how big our classrooms are. The children worked in pairs to carry out their investigations and in the beginning had to decide how they would tackle this challenge. There were lots of wonderful mathematical discussions as well as some interesting measuring! Some decided to use rulers, metre sticks, bodies, feet and shoes! It was wonderful to see all the children engaged and enthusiastic!
We are poets!

We have some budding poets in our class! Some of the children in year three have been writing their own poems at break times after being inspired by the poem ‘I asked a little boy you cannot see’. Here are a few examples of some of their fantastic independent writing.
Plants

This half term we are learning about plants in science. At the beginning of our topic, the children were asked to create a poster in groups explaining everything they already knew about plants from their learning in KS1.The children worked collaboratively; sharing ideas, allocating jobs as well as lots of wonderful discussions. The posters were so good that they are all displayed in the classroom!
Sensory Poetry

We have been reading and exploring the poem ‘I asked the little boy who cannot see’ during our English lessons which is based on colour. This week we have been exploring different colours using our senses. All these ideas will help create our own sensory poems based on the poem.
Seasonal tarts

In DT this week, we have been learning about different seasonal fruits and vegetables and where they are grown around the world. The children made their own fruit kebabs and tried many different fruits even lychee! They then had to design a seasonal tart of their own using their chosen fruits or vegetables as fillings. Many of the children chose to make a fruit one and we had a very happy class on Thursday afternoon when we got to eat them! Lots of amazing skills were shared.
