Focus Week - Year 3
In English we have been learning about the text “The Mysteries of Harris Burdick”. Our grammar skills have been creating descriptive, atmospheric settings, using dialogue and adding noun phrases with prepositions. We have written our own mystery story, using an image from the text.Currently we are designing our own superhero comic strip for a competition, this is an exciting process choosing a character and deciding on a setting.
In Maths, we have been learning about measuring in grams and kilograms applying the same knowledge in litres and millilitres. This week we are starting shape and soon we will be moving onto angles. This is always a favourite topic as we will be able to relate this to our Art and Design project on sculpture.
In Art and Design we are collecting cardboard boxes ready for a sculpture extravaganza. Visiting the Tate Modern last week was a firm favourite with us all. It will support us with our future designs in our project.
‘Plant Reproduction’ has been a hot topic in Science for this half term. We have been carrying out different investigations on how light, water, and air affect the growth of a plant.
We have been learning about how and why the Romans invaded Britain in History. So far we have found out what skills the Romans brought with them. It was interesting to find out about the Roman army, and their formation and battling tactics.
Spanish has been interesting as we have been learning about ‘Where do you live in Spain?’ We have been practising the names of places using key phonemes. Also we have had the opportunity of using a bilingual dictionary.
