Decisions decisions decisions...

As part of our English in Year 3 we have been attempting to use varied initiatives to keep children engaged and enthused. After our book reveal we read a short fragment of our novel (The Boy Who Climbed Into the Moon). We ended at a point where our main character - Paul, was considering what to do next. Rather than revealing to the children the decision he had made, the children came up with possible ideas as to what Paul could do. The children then picked two possible decisions which they transferred onto a decision wheel and had to come up with the positives and negatives of each idea.

    I really like the idea of a decision wheel to organise your thoughts. Mr Wills and I very much enjoyed an enthusiastic discussion with Year 3 about their learning.

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:

Sarehole Mill

Year 3 had a fantastic day out at Sarehole Mill. We were explorers for the day and explored around the grounds and areas such as the 'Bug Hotel' and  the 'Sound Wall' using binoculars and microscopes. We also learnt about the Stone Age and Bronze and the materials they used to make their shelters as well how they lived their lives. The children thoroughly enjoyed this learning experience.

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.
