Blog for the week ending 19.5.23

Posted: May 19, 2023 by: Zoe Watkins (ZWatkins) on: Class 3

This week we have enjoyed so many different aspects of our learning.

In Maths this week, we looked at division, we have divided different numbers and drawing number lines to help us. For example, 60 divided by 3.

In Science, we are investigating light and how shadows are formed. The sun shines and the light reflects onto the ground, we drew around our shadows in the playground using chalk. We returned to the site some time later to see that the shadows cast by the sun had changed position so we drew around ourselves again to show this. We also completed an investigation on shadows using torches.  We measured the distance of the light source from an object and measured its shadow.

Stephen Mulhern visited us down the wavelengths this week!  Wow!!  He is an author who writes about a boy called Max Magic. As you can imagine Max performs different tricks. He did a newspaper trick and it was interesting to discover how he created it.

In Literacy this week, we are continuing to read the Accidental Prime Minister, We are writing a descriptive story about our own adventure of becoming the prime minister.

In PE, we had our PE coach and we started working out and using circuits to increase our knowledge of Boxercise! We got to wear boxing gloves and pads. We took it in turns to move around the different circuit activities. It was really good fun!  And utterly shattering!

We are continuing our weavings and thoroughly enjoying creating them. In Forest some children started some paper weavings that we will weave natural grasses into.

Our favourite dinner this week was the beef burger. This is a new choice for us!

Written by William and Annabel.

Well done this week, everyone.
