Year 3 Ness Gardens, by Miss Jones

Date: 1st Jul 2019 @ 8:22am

Year 3 had a wonderful time at Ness Botanical Gardens last Friday. The sun was shining and there was plenty to see. We enjoyed a tour around the gardens and looked at many beautiful plants and flowers. We even planted our our radish or bean seed to bring home and watch grow. After that, we learnt all about the life cycle of a flowering plant. The lady leading the tour was very impressed with the childrens' knowledge and understanding. Then, we did a bee hunt and explored their habitat. Did you know bees have a very important role in the reproduction of plants. We then enjoyed a lovely picnic lunch before exploring the rest of the gardens. 

The children were a credit to Oldfield with their excellent behaviour, inquisitiveness and curiosity.  

Thank you to Mrs Pierce, Mrs Hampson, Mrs Batchelor and Mrs Davies for coming along and helping with trip. We hope you enjoyed yourselves as much as we did.

Active maths in Year 3, by Miss Jones

We have enjoyed competing TWO active maths activities today. We worked in the hall and in our classroom because of the rainy weather but that did not stop us having lots of fun. 

We have practised reading time on analogue clocks and we have been estimating how long something would take to do. What could you do in an hour? A minute? A second? 

Year 3 Residential - Tattenhall 2019, by Miss Jones

Date: 20th May 2019 @ 7:23pm

What a brilliant time we have had! 

Year 3 thoroughly enjoyed their first residential experience at Tattenhall last Thursday and Friday. The weather was glorious on the first day so we spend as much time as possible outside. We weaved willow to make a fish sculpture, played team building games and enjoyed bouldering in pairs. After tea, we all went on the Millennium Mile walk around Tattenhall village before spending lots of time in the adventure park.  On the second day, we took part in den building and fire lighting sessions. We even roasted some sweet treats on the fire. 

All of the adults involved in the trip were amazed by the children’s determination, politeness and excellent behaviour.

Thank you to Mrs Woodington, Mrs Woodward, Mr Brown and Mrs Davies for assisting with the trip.

Year 3 - Safer Internet Day 2019 , by Miss Jones

Date: 5th Feb 2019 @ 6:08pm

Year 3 have had a wonderful afternoon completing a carousel of activities about staying safe online. Our activities included sorting statements into fact and opinion so that we are able to spot fake news online. We also completed a quiz to understand what information is safe to share online. Another activity involved writing rules and top tips for keeping safe online and sorting true and false facts about internet usage. Finally, we read a story about Buddy the Dog  and how we could stay safe when using tablets. Buddy taught us a song. Why not ask the children to sing it to you at home?

Sharing homework in Year 3, by Miss Jones

Date: 1st Feb 2019 @ 9:00pm

Year 3 have been very busy at home over the past 2 weeks. As part of our English text, Escape from pompeii, the children had to research the events in Pompeii, 79AD. Children used the internet, trips to the library, videos and even song lyrics to gather their information.  They then presented their research in a variety of ways.  We had lift the flap peters, posters made on the computer, leaflets with glossaries, speeches, story writing, fact files and PowerPoint presentations. It was brilliant to see the children use features that we have looked at in English and guided reading.
