Term 1 - Blue Planet
Welcome back Year 3!
I am very excited to be back to school and share the topic Blue Planet with you. I hope you had a fabulous summer break and are also looking forward to beginning not only our Year 3 journey but also your first year in KS2.
Term 1 - Week 1
What a fantastic first few days back we have had! I am not sure who enjoyed dressing up more - Miss Brown or Mr Davis!
We started our topic with an experiment to see how water moves in the ocean and how objects then move when dropped into the water. The children had some interesting predictions and even more interesting findings after flapping the card to act like the wind and to make the water move.
Reading books have been sent home and spellings will be sent once we have homework books in school.
PE is on Monday
Term 1 Week 2
We have moved across into our daily timetable with great maturity from the children. We have a jampacked week just like in previous years but I wanted to mention how well the class have just come in and got on with their learning.
We have been investigating the warm and cold ocean currents this week and even used a clip from 'Finding Nemo' to help explain how currents can run through the water and move creatures and temperatures through invisible paths. The children used previous knowledge of the worlds oceans and temperatures around the earth to support what we were looking at this week. We then mapped out the currents to show they way they move around the planet on a daily basis.
We are hoping to go and visit the Washpool in the coming weeks and see what gets washed up there from the connecting rivers and streams. The class have a keen interest in this terms topic and we are enjoying learning together.
Spellings
Spellings came home this week. We do not yet have our homework/spelling books but we still need to be practising pur weekly spellings.
Please find a copy of this weeks spellings below. All children have been taught these spellings but not all will have these to practise as discussed at the meet the teacher meeting on Wednesday.
Term 1 Week 3
This week we continued exploring Ocean Currents and the weather associated with them. We looked at live weather maps and predicted the weather for the next few days. We had our first recorder lesson where we looked at the instrument and played 2 notes. These are allowed home but must be back on a Friday ready for our next lesson.
