Week 17

Topic : Shake It [ science focus on solids, liquids and gases]

This week we investigated “A Solid changing to a liquid”. We used ice cubes positioned in different places around the classroom including one placed on the outside window ledge and we observed how quickly they changed. The children noticed the shrinking size of the cubes and the amount of water remaining on the plate. The children are now using the vocabulary when talking and writing about our experiments. More experiments next week.

 

Maths

We practised times tables and managed to ‘test’ their ability to recall the facts; both in sequence and by answering random question. We played a dice game which required quick thinking and using all 4 operations to work out answers on the grid and win the game !

 

Literacy

We continued our Myths and Quests literacy Unit [topic]. We focused on elements of myths including the hero, the monster or mythical creature and the setting. Next week will be working on planning and then using the planning to write our own Myths. Thank you for your support in helping the children to prepare [ Big Write ].

 

Other

M.F.L. - There has been a change to the timetable which comes into effect next week. The first M.F.L. slot remains unchanged on Tuesdays at 13:10-14:10; however the second one has been moved from Wednesdays at 13:10-14:10 to the new day and time of Thursday 14:30-15:30. Hungarian Culture will now be on Thursday mornings starting at 8:50. This means that some of the Year 3s will have either one or two Hungarian lessons on Thursdays. Here is a link for further explanation in Hungarian:
