What was your favourite part of Stone Age Day?
What can fossils tell us about prehistoric life?
This week we have been learning about perfect present tense in English. We have learnt how to change a verb into the past tense, and add either has or have before the past tense verb, to write sentences in the perfect present tense. We have also recapped using conjunctions and adverbs of manners so that we can use these skills in our Star Write next week.
In Maths we have continued working on adding and subtracting 3 digit numbers and have begun looking at how we exchange numbers to solve problems. We will be continuing to work on this next week to refine the skill.
In RE we learnt that Sikhs pray in a Gurdwara, and we looked at the different features of one. We now know some key features, such as they have four doors to welcome everyone and the Manji Sahib, which is a raised platform.
In History we looked at the development of tools from the Stone Age to the Iron Age and how they were made and used. In Science, we looked at how fossils are formed and discovered how it takes thousands of years for them to form.
The children in Year 3 have worked so hard on their learning this week.
The children have all really impressed us this week with how hard they have worked in English. They have learnt how to use conjunctions to extend their sentences and join two sentences together. They then worked really hard on their Star Writes on 'How to Wash a Woolly Mammoth'.
In History, we learnt what life was like in the Stone Age and how they sourced their food. In Re, we learnt about Guru Nanak and his life. We also read stories about how he spread his teachings. In Computing we decomposed the Magic Carpet game and investigated how it worked.
The children really enjoyed learning about how different rocks are made through our Starburst investigation. They turned the starbursts into sedimentary rocks, igneous rocks and metamorphic rocks.
The children have had a fantastic first week back and we are really enjoying getting to know all of them. They have settled really well into Year 3 and adjusted well to their new classes and routines.
This week we have been focusing on the Zones of Regulation and identifying what things make us feel happy, sad, anxious and angry. We have been looking at ways to deal with our emotions and recognising that it is okay to feel different emotions.
In Maths we have been looking at place value of numbers up to 100 and have been using base ten and place value counters to support our learning. We have also had our first Spanish lesson with Mrs Mills and our first ukele lesson with Mrs Cucharo and look forward to learning these new skills throughout the year.
