Year 3's Class Novel

This term we began a new novel. Rather than give the children the title of the novel or show them the front cover and get them to predict what our novel is about, the children were given a wordle to predict and make inferences on what the novel may be about. We also provided them with an alternative front cover to help them come up with a title for our class novel. The predictions and inferences were written by the children on the wrapped novels and once they had finally made predictions the time had come to unwrap the novels. Needless to say the children were on the edge of their seats in anticipation of uncovering what our class novel was and whether their predictions were accurate!

    What a great alternative way to get children to make predictions for their new class novel. It was great reading the children's comments and I loved the BIG reveal at the end!

Cadbury World

Yesterday, year 3 had a scrumdiddilyumptious trip to Cadbury World. They discovered the origin of chocolate and how the beans are grown, harvested, dried and finally transported to the U.K to be made into delicious chocolate. They also had the opportunity to sample some of lip-smacking chocolate that Cadbury World creates. Followed by an exciting 4D cinema experience, rounded off with a fabulous time on the outdoor play equipment. Phew! What a busy day !

Friction

Year 3 have been building their own cars in D.T. Once built they were used to investigate the effects of friction. to do this the children rolled the cars down a series of different ramps which each had a different surface texture. Sponge, wood, sandpaper and carpet. Before beginning their investigation they made a series of predictions about which surfaces would create the most friction. Then the fun began ! Take a look at the pictures below:

Greek Immersion Day

To welcome the children back and hook them into our new topic, Great Gods and Mere Mortals, Year 3 had a Greek immersion day. As soon as the children arrived in the morning, we dressed them up as Ancient Greek citizens. We created leafy wreaths to wear and sang Greek themed songs. In the afternoon, we took the children into the hall and treated them to a culinary experience featuring a range of greek delicacies such as olives, feta cheese and tzatziki.
