In R.E last week, we have been talking about bullying. In this week's lesson, we have wrote some bullying poems and a few of us felt confident to read theirs out to the class. Have a look below to see Y3's work.

Last half term, we looked at writing and reading diary entries with a focus on Hansel and Gretel. Within this, the children read examples of diary entries within guided reading to support their learning on the format of a diary. Then, the children wrote two diary entries in the perspective of the mean step mother. This was a guided piece of writing which focussed on using fronted adverbials. After a couple of weeks of learning about diaries, the children were given an opportunity to write their own diary entry as a different character within Hansel and Gretel. The children were given options of what they could write about but ultimately, the piece of work was written and edited without any support. When they had finished, I was completely amazed at what they came up with so the children have finally written their diaries into their masterpiece books. Have a look below at Y3's masterpiece writing. Last term, we completed a sewing project. For the project, the children had to create a fruit picture. For this project, the child learnt plenty of new skills such as:
Have a look below at Y3's amazing World Book Day costumes! In computing, we have started looking at branching databases. We first looked at closed and opening questioning to ensure we were able to use the right type of questioning for our branching databases and then the children made a physical branching database by separating the dinosaurs by certain criteria. Have a look below to see the children at work. Today, we have completed our final dance lesson. This half term, the children have been learning a dance to the Kids Bop Shuffle (the video is below). During each lesson, we are looked at different sequences within the dance and practised dancing them in time to the music. Afterwards, we have looked at making our own dance sequence to the same music making sure we are keeping in time with the music. The children have been in groups to create their dance and then they performed them to the rest of the class. After each performance, the audience was able to give positive feedback for each performance. The improvement I have seen week on week has been amazing and I am so proud of what all the children have achieved. Well done Year 3! Today, the children have been dressed up for Number Day to make money for the NSPCC. To mark the occasion, the children brought in a number of their coins to match their age to give to charity. To start the day off, the class calculated the amount of money that we raised which was £31.66. Then, we completed a range of maths related activities including a multiplication dice game, playing on TT Rockstars in the computing suite, calculation colouring, a calculation code breaker and shape building using marshmallows. All the children have really enjoyed today as they were able to work both on their own and as a team. Have a look below to see what we got up to. Last week, we children completed their final stop frame animation using imotion and imovie. For this, the children chose their background and their characters and stuck them to the wall. This was to ensure that their background didn't move whilst they made their animation. Then, the children placed their iPad on a stand and moved it to ensure that they could see the background on their screen. The children had to try their best not to move their iPad so it didn't spoil their animation. After they had positioned everything, the children used the onion skin feature on the imotion to move the characters slightly to capture their image. The onion skin helped them to see where the character had been before so they didn't overlap their frames or they didn't move the characters too far. Once they had finished, the children added music and text to their animation using the imovie app to make it more entertaining. Have a look below to see the children making their final animations. In science, we have been learning about the human body. Last week, we looked at the different bones in our body and their scientific names. For their task, they had to use post it notes to label the bones on their partners body to help them remember where they are. The children were really enthusiastic to do this and were very keen to see if they labelled all the bones correctly. Have a look below to see them in action.
