We have had a busy week in Year 3 this week. In Literacy we have started reading our class book James and the Giant Peach. We began by looking at the blurb and making some predictions and then moved on to creating some interesting character descriptions. Our next step was to re-create the opening paragraph using exciting adjectives. We have promised to start using more adventurous vocabulary in our writing.
In Numeracy we have followed on from learning about place value and we are now looking at column addition. We have used our knowledge of place value to help us with our addition.
We have also started our R.E unit, belonging, and looked at the ways we belong to God. We read the story of Jesus calling the 12 disciples and wrote our own diary entries as though we were one of the 12 disciples.
Our science topic Rocks has been very exciting this week and we have studied a variety of rocks and looked at the different features of them all. We also had the chance to use magnifying glasses to examine some fossils. We are really enjoying learning new things about rocks.
We enjoyed our P.E lesson this week on orienteering! We attempted to navigate our way around the playground using maps and number clues to help us. Some of us also had a go at creating our own orienteering map!
Enjoy your weekend!
