Stop Motion
We took part in Enrichment this morning, using Stop Motion to create short films. Using models that we created ourselves, we took pictures to create our own animations. The results were amazing! Well done everyone!
Authors at work!
Today we became real authors, publishing our non-chronological reports on our iPads. We used our computing knowledge to make subheadings, making the texts bold and underlined. Using our draft, we improved our writing and made sure it included all of the year 3 skills.
Garage Band enrichment
Our Garage Band superstars produced some fantastic music including in a dance style, acoustic and even music from other cultures.
Christmas cards
We got creative by making our own Christmas/winter cards this week. We used a sponge to print paint on the front cover, creating the outline of a snowman. We then used glue to add finer details to our design. Inside our cards, we wrote a message to our loved ones. We can't wait to take them home…
Performing poetry
Year 6 have been performing their war poetry to the class, showing the Waterside value of courage when reading aloud.
Juggling Balls
We enjoyed making our own juggling balls, here are a few examples of the finished products. Well done Year 3!
Design and Technology
Today we took part in a DT day, with the aim of creating our very own juggling balls. We researched existing products, designed our own patterns and decorated our socks ready to sew.
Disco Time!
We have been so excited all week for our disco, we dressed up in our party clothes and enjoyed our snacks. We did lots of dancing and lots of singing.
we spoke about the disco beforehand as this was a great chance to recap our celebrations topic.
Number formation
Today the children have been working on their number formation of numbers within 5. They had a go at tracing the numbers and then some children were able to write the numbers independently! We are super at forming our numbers.
Feature Finders
Today we started a new genre! We’re focusing on writing a non-chronological report. We looked at lots of examples and made our own checklist of the features we need to include.
Caption writing
We applied our Phase 2 phonics to write captions. We remembered to try and use a finger space between words, and ensure that our letters are sitting on the line correctly. We are particularly focusing on our ascenders and descenders.
Painting Patterns!
In maths this week we have used our fingers to make 1 part patterns with 2 colours of paint.
We chose our colours and talked about patterns ‘repeating’.
