Week beginning 30/1/12

This week we have really been getting our teeth into our science topic about rocks. On Monday we looked at lots of different types and considered their properties and on Wednesday we investigated which rocks are permeable and why. We didn't get too wet!

In literacy we have enjoyed finding out about calligrams and descriptive poetry. We designed our own calligrams and our homework this week is to do more. We had some impressive ideas which are displayed on a poster in class, so look out for it! They were all great but Joshua R did a particularly clever lego design. Next week we will write our own poems.

In numeracy we have been working hard at telling the time, this is quite tricky and we have done lots of practical work with analogue and digital clocks.

In PSHCE we had a class discussion about what behaviour should result in going up or down the traffic lights. The addition of gold and silver is definitely very motivating and something we are all keen to achieve!

Year 3 projects were handed in on Wednesday. The children have been working hard on these for the last couple of months. Subjects include Lego, The Great Plague, Victorians, Australia and more. The children chose their own subject to research. They will now do a talk to the rest of the class to present their work and then projects will go on display in class.
