WOW! I enjoyed reading the acrostic poems! What do you like about them? Let us know!

 

In Literacy we have been learning about instructions. I think that instructions are fantastic because they help you to do things.

This week we have been trying to follow lots of instructions to help us to do and make things but sometimes you can struggle  with them because some instructions are hard to read.

I am going to keep using Persistence power so I can understand the instructions and not struggle.

Have a look at these photos. This is what we have been doing in Literacy.  We have used lots of instructions to do Christmas activities. Here are some of them: making a Christmas Wordsearch, making a big Art Attack and making a 3D snowflake which I think looked really difficult to make but they did a good job with Miss Bass!

I think the instructions were hard but they have helped me to learn what makes a great instructions. I think you should add pictures to your instructions so you can see what things look like.

Which Christmas activity did you do?

Did you find it hard or easy to follow the instructions?

This morning we have been making fantastic electrical circuits with Dom! Can you explain how we made our circuits and what materials we used?

 

Have a look at these pictures. 

What do you think these buildings are?

What do you think happens in them?

This term’s topic is Hooray for Bollywood. 

This week we have been learning about India. We have been looking at buildings, cities, clothing and hobbies. We learnt that the capital city is New Deli, there’s a colossal building called the Golden Temple!  The streets are  always busy and much more.

This is the Golden Temple

Can you find out more facts about India?

In Numeracy we have been learning about digital time. It was fun because it was hard at first but it got easier. It was extremely hard to complete some challenges. I like Numeracy because sometimes it’s challenging and sometimes it’s easy.

 What do you think about Numeracy?   

By Harris

 In numeracy we had to partition a sum and explain how we partitioned it.  We learnt about time and we did challenges.   You had to write the time on the sheet with the little clocks on the sheet.   Underneath the clocks we had to write the analogue or digital time.

Can you set someone a time challenge or question to see how much we all know about time?

E.g. The flight to Mumbai departed at 12:30am and arrived at 8:00pm. How long did the flight take?

Good luck to all you tick tockers!

Miss Smith and Miss Kirkham 🙂

Wow! Year 3 when I came in today I was amazed by all the fantastic ideas and shape talk.  You were working on a very exciting challenge of making your own 3D building using nets.

How many 2D and 3D shapes can you spot and name in these buildings?

In topic we have been learning about Hooray for  Bollywood. We are going to make a play like an indian musical.  I love it because I am going to do a play in front of the whole school.  We have been learning about India. In India it is really hot and there are a lot farms.
