Y3 created their own algorithms to move their beebots around the obstacle course.  If it didn’t work they debugged it and tried again.

This week’s blog homework is to write super sentences about the tiny dragon.

Where is it from? Why is it so small? Are there more like him?Where does he live? How will you look after it? Will you keep it a secret or tell someone? What is it called? Is it magic? What magic can it do?

I like to imagine that it is a really small dragon which you can keep in your pocket but, when you need it to, it can grow huge so that you can ride it.

We enjoyed using the magnets to investigate whether all metals were magnetic.  We found out that they weren’t all magnetic, only some, such as iron, nickel and cobalt.

Y3 are making their own animal inspired wall hanging in DT.  Stage 1 was to create  a 3 part painting of animal skin and animal eyes with transfer paint.  This will be transferred onto poly cotton with a heat press.  Everyone worked extremely hard, well done!

Well done Y3 on an excellent performance in the spelling bee!

For homework this week, please post your own descriptive sentences about the picture below.  They can include adjectives, adverbs, powerful verbs, similes and alliteration.  Everyone who posts will receive a golden ticket!

Y3 used forcemeters to find out how much force was needed to pick up different items.  They learnt how to read a scale and measure in Newtons.  They used that knowledge to carry out an experiment to find out if different surfaces would change how much force was needed to drag an object across the floor.

On World Book Day, Y3 enjoyed the story Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl.  They created their own unique chocolate bar and wrote a persuasive piece of writing to convince people to buy it.  Even better, they took their chocolate bar home to eat at the end of the day!

Y3 enjoyed sports with a Roald Dahl theme and soundtrack!  They used their imaginations to explore lots of different books.  They hunted for golden tickets, travelled like an Oompa Loompa, coated a giant peach in chocolate and spun a giant web. They threw seagulls at each other, dug a tunnel like Mr Fox, they stole food for their den and hid from the farmers. They rescued Sophie from the orphanage, Whizz-popped around and made a never ending lollipop.  Do you recognise any of the books?

Y3 enjoyed their first French lesson with Madame Miller.  They played a detective game, asking questions in French to find the criminal!
