This week in computing we have been using our coding skills to create a story.
Using different codes to get our characters speaking, changing costumes and changing scenes. We are becoming scratch experts as the weeks go by! In Science this week we have enjoyed experimenting with magnets.
We looked at how magnetic forces can attract or repel. We experimented with paper clips to test how strong the magnets were. This week Year 3 had a gymnastics session which was lead by the Okehampton Flyers. It was a fantastic session and great to see the children showing off their rolls, tucks, straddles and incredible flexibility. We are truly grateful for another amazing opportunity provided to us by an outside source.
The children have been busy making castles.
They have drawn their ideas, collected their resources and this week they began constructing their designs. The finished castles will have battlements, towers, a flag and hopefully a working drawbridge. We can't wait to see how they look when they are finished - watch this space! This week year 3 had a cricket session with Niall from Devon Cricket which we thoroughly enjoyed. Despite the horrendous weather conditions we persevered and were able to practice our bowling, batting and fielding. It was a super session and a big thankyou to Niall and Devon Cricket!
This term in year 3, we have being learning about items we find in a classroom (Dans ma salle de classe). To help cement our knowledge, our lesson involved playing a well know game called Loto aka Bingo! There were various prizes up for grabs including new equipment and 3 golden tickets to be won. We hope you all have a lovely half term :)
This week Year 3 have been writing a prequel story for a book that we have been reading in class called How to Live forever. They have produced some incredible stories so far and we are going to be creating and designing our own books next week. We are planning to send our finished copies off to the author for him to read.
This week Year 3 have been sequencing different sounds using a program called Scratch. We have tested out various sounds for our Sprite, learnt how to change and adapt our backgrounds and some basic movement of our Sprite. Scratch is free to use at home and I’m sure that the children would love to show off their programming skills.
