Sun, Track and Creativity.

Tuesday 24th March 2015 

What a beautiful day! Another perfect day for track. While at track we have been practising our running, dodging and pace skills. We played a range of great games and once again tested our stamina by running the 400m.(Well done Mr Willis for running 1600m)

Last week we started our new DT (Design Technology) unit. We were set a challenge. We needed to create an Easter box. We started by looking at boxes and how they are designed. We then start experimenting with different lids for our own designs. We looked at the advantages and disadvantages before we chose our final design. This week we have started to create our final design. 

Stay tuned to see our final designs.

Magnificent Measures

Thursday 5th March 2015

This week we have been learning all about weight and capacity/volume. We have looked at how we measure , the units we would use and we have been practising our scale reading skills. 

It has been great fun all week and we have learnt a lot as well. Just ask us and we will be able to tell you all about ml, kg and much much more. 

As well as this, we have continued to look at performance poetry in Literacy. This week we wrote our own 'Rhyme it Rhyme it' poems. We then had X FACTOR auditions to see which member of the class would go through to the finals. 

Well done to our winner Taro! 

Here are a few other examples: 

Super Stars

Friday 27th February 2015

Class assembly done! We enjoyed every minute of it and we hope you did too. 

After assembly, we had a very busy morning! We were once again practising our mixing skills; creating tints, tones and shades. This time we create a silhouette picture. Head over to our pages to see the final results. 

THEY LOOK GREAT! 

After working hard all morning we then had some fun this afternoon. FRIDAY BOOGIE!

We are definitely the dancers of the future! 

Have a lovely weekend everyone! 

We're Going On A Bear Hunt

Wednesday 25th February 2015 

We are back again! Another holidays finished and another half term ahead of us!

We are already working hard in 3P and we are enjoying every minute of the new half term.

On Monday we went from 21 children to 22! 
Welcome to 3P Yuna! We hope you enjoy your time at BST.

This week we have been practicing for our class assembly, which takes place this Friday and are very excited about sharing our learning with everyone! 

In addition to this we have started a REALLY FUN topic in Literacy. We are now looking at performance poetry. 
Today we focused on what makes a successful performance. We watched Michael Rosen and Craig Bradley perform their own poems and we created a success criteria for performance poetry.  
We then used the list we had generated in our own performances! (including Miss Gorst and Mrs Tateno!).

Check out the video below and see if you can identify what makes a GREAT performance!

Furthermore, we have been looking at measure in Numeracy. This week we are looking at the units cm, mm, m and km. 
Do you know what they stand for? 
cm = centimetres
mm = millimetres
m = metres
km= kilometres. 

Today we practised accurately measuring different lengths/ heights with these units. Before measuring the objects we had to estimate ( a sensible guess). 

Where in the world would you like to go?

Monday 9th February 2015 

For our home learning this week we have been asked to research a country. We were allowed to choose which one we would like to research. We were then set a challenge of delivering the information we had researched in a fun and exciting way. We have had lots of great ideas so far. 

Here are a few of examples:  

Katie tells us all about Peru. 

Maia shows us all she knows about Germany

Check out Enrique's PowerPoint about Pakistan. 

Discover Malaysia thanks to this amazing video by Hao Ping.

What to know all about China? Check out this video by Alfie. 

Oh la la! Check out Jaya's presentation all about France.

Stay tuned for more! 

Quest Myths

Thursday 5th February 2015

This week we have started to write our quest myths. We have been working hard on creating an exciting opener that will engage the reader and make them want to continue reading. 

Here are a couple of examples: 

We have also added some of our art work! What do you think? 

Head over to our pages to see our landscape paintings. 

Here comes the sun!

Tuesday 3rd February 2015

What a beautiful (but cold) day for track! Look at that blue sky! 

Today we continued to practise our batting, fielding, throwing and catching skills. We also ran the 400m again. We worked hard to improve all our skills and Miss Purewal was extremely proud of us! 

On Monday, we looked at a range of maps.

 Did you know maps have different purposes and are used by different people? 

We sorted the maps and grouped them together using our own criteria. Some maps showed us the names of streets. Others showed us where you could find things if you were visiting an attraction. It was great fun looking at (and smelling) all the different maps. 

Here is the map we were smelling. 

Which boxes are you brave enough to smell? 

Here are some pictures of us hard at work:
