Week ending 12.5.23

Posted: May 12, 2023 by: Zoe Watkins (ZWatkins) on: Class 3

It’s been another short week this week so we have worked extra hard to make up for it!

In Maths this week, we looked at fractions. We have learnt to put objects into groups to work out what three fifths might look like or two quarters is the same as half of eight.

In Science, we looked at translucent, transparent and opaque forms of light. We got different objects and materials and shone a torch next to it. If it was transparent, we could easily see the light, we could see the light less clearly and not at all for the opaque materials.                                                                                                          

In Literacy this week, we are starting to learn about how to have a debate. The topic was ‘To be a Viking or not – living in Viking times’. We got into groups and decided if we were for or against.  We presented our arguments at first on paper and then we presented our points to the whole class.

In Geography we discussed the different aspects of human features of Blackpool. For example, the Blackpool tower is enjoyed by people dancing, going to the roof top gardens and an aquarium. We talked about the three piers (the only three in the country), trams, the promenade, hotels, the Pleasure beach and lots of other features.

We have started a new book this week – Accidental Prime Minister. It’s been an exciting start to the story.

We have learnt a new skill- weaving using a piece of card and wool. We loved this and have been amazed how fantastic our pieces are looking so far.

In PE we had our PE coach and we continued our boxercise sessions looking at including playing games as part of the session to improve our punching skills. We had our session outside this week which was fun!

 Our favourite dinner this week was the salmon pasta bake.  This is one of our favourites on a Friday!

Written by Flynn, Owen and Connie.

Well done this week.  You have been a joy! (Have I said that this week Class 3?)
