Art and Design Technology in year 3, by Miss Jones

Date: 15th Nov 2016 @ 9:49pm

Year 3 have been very busy over the last week. We have been working on sketching Stone Age weapons and tools using different pencil tones and textures. We then designed our own tool ready to make using bamboo canes, string and stones. The children experimented with different fixing techniques.  They particularly enjoyed using the hacksaws to cut their handles to the correct length. 

Then the children had a go at creating their own cave art style picture using tea stained paper and oil pastels.  They have worked very hard to make items for our display. Watch this space to see the finished display....

Meet the Sugar Detectives, by Miss Jones

Date: 5th Oct 2016 @ 5:06pm

Think Before You Drink!

Did you know that children should have no more than 24g of sugar per day?

Following our visit to Tesco last week, we decided to investigate just how much sugar there is in our favourite drinks. We read the nutritional information to find out the sugar content in grams. Then we weighed out the amount in real sugar. We were surprised by the amount of sugar in apple juice and fruit smoothies because we predicted they would be healthier. Did you know apple juice can have up to 11g of sugar per 100ml?  

Here is what we found out: least to most amount of sugar per bottle 

Water - 0g

Fanta - 17g

Fruit Smoothie - 26g

Coke - 27g

Chocolate Milk - 28g

Ribena - 29g

Vimto - 29g

Volvic Fruit Water - 31g

7up - 36g

Apple Juice - 44g

Lucozade - 48g

What a busy week it has been!

The children have settled into year 3 really well and have enjoyed their first week in KS2. They have had a treasure hunt around the classroom to explore their new environment. They also enjoyed having a 'walk and talk' summer holiday catch up. On Thursday we had an 'all about me' theme to the day and learnt a lot about one another in literacy, maths and circle time. We have also been very creative and have had a go at ink blowing and self-portrait sketching. The children's art work will go on display soon so keep your eyes peeled ...

Year 3 friction experiment, by Miss Jones

Date: 1st Mar 2016 @ 11:46pm

Today in science the chlidren were learning all about the force, friction. We carried out an experiment to test how different surfaces create different amounts of friction. We found out that the rougher or bumpier a surface, the more friction is created and the smoother a surface, the less friction is created. This means that a toy car moves quicker along smoother surfaces such as tin foil, and slower on a more bumpy surface like bubble wrap. 

Year 3 inventing our own dragons!, by Miss Jones

Date: 1st Mar 2016 @ 11:42pm

From a terrifying red and black fire breather, to a multi-coloured rainbow dragon that breathes happiness!

Year 3 Active Maths, by Miss Jones

Date: 8th Jan 2016 @ 10:09am

This week in numeracy we have been busy learning all about right angles. The children started by making their own angle eaters. We then went on a right angle hunt outsite in the playground and inside our classroom, using our angle eaters to check for right angles. We worked in our colour groups and used the ipads to photograph our findings.

As an extra challenge, when we came back inside the children were given 15 lolly sticks and were asked to make a shape with the greatest number of right angles.

Check out the gallery to see how many right angles were hiding inside and outside of our classroom!
