Crew Ramsay have been enjoying movement breaks between lessons this week to help us stay regulated and calm during lessons. We have loved dancing between sessions and cannot wait to boogie again tomorrow!

Case Study Two!
This week we launched our learning for Case Study 2: Geography. We learned the seven continent names and learned a song to help us retain it! We used atlases and maps to locate the continents and had some fun looking at various styles of maps such as topographical and OS. What a brilliant start to our local Geography unit.
Independent Writing
We have started our independent writing which is a recount inspired by The Day The crayons Quit. Here we are taking great pride in our work and getting smart by being aware of our targets.
Concrete Maths To Launch A New Unit!
We have been busy in our concrete maths session using sticks to build numbers as part of our Multiplication and Division unit. To kickstart this unit, pupils used sticks in bundles of 12 to make equal groups. They drew upon their shape learning to make equal groups too. We then had a gallery walk to see the different representations and orientations before making ‘unequal groups’. What a brilliant day of hands on Maths!
Changing States Experiment
Today we conducted an experiment to see what would happen to chocolate when we applied heat.
We put 3 pieces of chocolate in a metal bowl inside a bowl filled with hot water.
To begin with the chocolate was solid.
We timed in 1 minute intervals and observed and recorded what happened to the chocolate.
After 4 minutes the chocolate was completely melted and was a liquid.
We put the chocolate back in the fridge for half an hour to see if it would change state again.
After 30 minutes it was a solid again!
P.E
Today in P.E the children worked on their balancing skills which is their coordination.
Sausage Sandwich
Today in life skills the children made their own sausage sandwich. Once the sausages were cooked .They had to butter their breadcake , cut their sausages in half and then put it on their breadcake before they could eat them.
Maths time
The children have being working really hard with their maths this week. Here is what they have being doing.
Sharing our independent writes ✏️
It was lovely to see children sharing their independent writes that they have been working on over the past week.
A big shout out to those children who stood up and shared their stories with the class too!
Solids, Liquids and Gases
Year 3 enjoyed starting case study two with a lesson on states of matter. We investigated what the particles look like in solids, liquids and gases and how changes in temperature affect states of matter.
