Week ending 7.10.22

This week in Year 3, we spent some time learning and thinking about Mary Anning. She was a famous lady who found lots of fossils on a beach in Dorset. After a thunderstorm, rocks would wash in and fossils from the sea could be found. We looked at Ammonites and dinosaur poo (coprolites)! Mary Anning called the curiosities.
In Maths this week we practiced column subtraction. There were three columns, with hundreds, tens and ones. We also did a little bit of column addition.
In History we are learning about how to make bronze metal. First tin and copper were mined out of the rocks (ore), the metal goes into a pot where it is hung over a very hot fire. The metals are heated together until they melt and become a liquid. Next the liquid is moulded into a shape such as an arrow head or another tool.
In Literacy we were writing about have learnt about imperative verbs (bossy words). The children were fantastic at being bossy! We learn about how to wash a woolly mammoth, which was surprising similar to washing a baby or a dog we decided!
We really enjoyed PE this week continuing our dances and practicing our footballing skills. We refined our dribbling and passing techniques. We worked in groups of fours.
Again, we had our singing assembly. It was fun singing ‘Cauliflower’s Fluffy and Cabbages Green’, ‘Harvest Tango’ and ‘Hey My Name is Joe’.
During Outdoor Learning we learnt and practiced tying knots. This was quite tricky! We also collected rocks and built our own version of a Stone Age campfire. We added orange and yellow leaves to make it look like fire!
In Computing we learning about websites and how we might recognise whether a website was a real site with real facts. We got to make spoof websites about rats, planets and dogs. They were supposed to be silly!
Our favourite dinner this week was fish and chips.
