Our topic this half term is
Explorers of the Sea
Boats! We ended our topic 'Explorers of the Sea' by learning about buoyancy, density and upthrust...then making and designing some boats of our own.
The brief was to design the boat that would carry the most weight - which boat do you think looks like a winner?
We wrote haikus about our mythical sea creatures...
...added actions to help tell the story...
...and performed them to the class!
Art Week! We read The Dot by Peter Reynolds, then worked together to make all this beautiful art...
Good Morning Edmonton. A shocking discovery has been made in Pymmes Park! Experts agree it is dangerous, partially invisible, ravenous, and has the power to control minds!
In PE we have been creating a dance inspired by our topic, 'Explorers of the Sea'. We were able to improvise, choreograph, practice, remember and perform a whole dance routine!
We visited Father Stuart at All Saints Church Edmonton. He showed us all around the church...and answered a lot of our questions!
Computing - learning to write and debug simple flowcharts with Start, End, Process and Decision functions.
Investigating the amazing and mysterious properties of magnets. Can you move a paperclip without touching it? What else can you do with a magnet...?
Multiplication using towers and arrays of counters, blocks, dienes...what else can you see?
We had a brilliant time on the Golden Hinde, and Pirate Yas gave us some fascinating information about life on board a ship, about Francis Drake, and about some real pirates!
Our topic this term is
The Stone Age
We have loved learning about the Stone Age, and have made so many beautiful things! Look at our brilliant Neolithic Stone Henge models, and our Paleolithic cave paintings.
Finding parallel and perpendicular lines in everything - can you remember which is which?
Problem solving using two of our strategies - Draw the Problem and Trial and Improvement (Guess and Check).
This week, the jam sandwich robots came to 3S to teach us how to write an algorithm. It's not as easy as it looks...
Our class assembly was about the journey of "The Pebble in my Pocket" - starting 380 million years ago!
We had a wonderful time at Bruce Castle Museum. We got to see and touch some real Stone Age artefacts - including a woolly mammoth's tooth! - and to practice our archaeology skills.
In science we are learning about rocks. Here we are closely observing some special chocolate rocks...are they igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic?
We designed and made Mesolithic houses. Not everyone in the Stone Age lived in caves - during the Mesolithic and Neolithic eras there were lots of trees available for building. Would you like to live in one of these?
In 3S we have been revisiting our place value knowledge, using lots of methods and resources to help us.
We used oil pastels in warm and cool colours to create summer and winter solstice sunsets for our Stone Henge pictures. Come and see some of the finished results outside our classroom!
