Creative Computing and Data Handling

In Year 3, we have explored the purpose of data collection, looking at different types of questionnaires, including those created for us online. 

Today, we worked in teams to develop a set of questions that would help us improve aspects of our school life, including:

• looking at our favourite subjects and what we would like to have the opportunity to do more of, 
• identifying suggestions for additions to our dinner menu,
• suggesting possible sports clubs for the summer term.

Lower School World Cup Winners!

Our football team got a taste of the World Cup this afternoon in the World Cup mini festival in Alfreton.  Representing Japan, our team won all of their games before returning to school as world champions!  Congratulations to all of our star players.

 

A Wonderful Way to start the Day!

Teams Resilience and Courage have been reading and retelling stories to each other in our daily guided reading sessions this term. Today, we took this to a whole new level - reading and role-play in the early morning sun. Watch out for their dramatic freeze frames and poses, we definitely have some budding storytellers and actors in our midst!

Year 3 Grouped Investigation

The children in Team Courage have been learning important time facts in our maths lessons.  They have enjoyed applying their knowledge of the months of the year whilst working in groups. 

Team Courage Jubilee Artwork

The children in Team Courage have produced these wonderful pieces of artwork.  Inspired by the forthcoming jubilee, each piece is made up of images that reminded the children of our Queen.  How many can you spot?

 

Les Couleurs

This afternoon, Lower School have been reviewing colours in French to finish off this term's unit. The children listened to songs, joined in with the singing and responded well to flashcards too before applying their knowledge to their task. Très bien!

Royal Portraits

Team Courage have been celebrating the Queen's Platinum Jubilee by completing a portrait of the Queen.  They really enjoyed applying their knowledge of symmetry, improving their drawing and shading skills and of course showing off their work!

Comic Books

The children in Team Courage and Team Discovery have thoroughly enjoyed reading and exploring the features of comics this week.  Inspired by classic copies of the Beano and Dandy, they have developed their own dialogue which they will be using in our English lessons for the rest of this half term.  Select the image below to view a gallery of the children at work.

 

Roman Mosaics
