Finally the sun stayed out long enough for us to explore how the sun creates shadows. Year 3 were challenged to make a variety of shadows tall, thin, big and small. They all worked really hard and came up with some amazing ideas. We pose the question:
What happens to our shadow when we face the sun?
Does our shadow when we turn away from the sun?
After experimenting with year 4’s dioramas to create stop frame animations we began to look at the geography of India and how we could incorporate it in to our own versions. Take a look at what we have created so far.
Thank you to everyone who shared our learning on our blog last week.
We had over 2000 views from all over the world.
Keep looking on the blog to see more of our brilliant work.

We’ve been working in small groups to learn how to make a film. We’ve learned how to make pictures move in stop animation, how to add narration, titles and sound effects.
Please give us some tips on improving our movies. We want to make our next movies even better!

To prepare for writing our Bollywood film scripts, we have learnt a story from India off by heart.
Watch us perform our story and let us know what you think.
Year 3 had fun learning about light and dark. We Experimented with different materials to see who could make the darkest dark den. 
Have a look at some of our fantastic India homework.
This week we’ve had children talking about their time in India, models of the Taj Mahal and The Golden Temple and one family even made some food from India.
This week we’ve been making 3D shapes using nets and play dough.
We’ve been describing them using: edges, vertices, faces, parallel ans perpendicular.
Today in Maths year3 built a variety of shapes using playdough. They talked about their shapes and described their properties. They all enjoyed playing with the playdough.
