St Oswald's Catholic Primary SchoolYear 3 Friday Blog 19th November 2021
Date: 19th Nov 2021 @ 1:10pm
Welcome to your Friday blog. We have enjoyed wearing spots today to support Children in Need. We have uploaded a class photo at the end of this blog.
This week we have continued to enjoy reading Mr Stink. He finally met the Crumb family and appeared on Question Time! We looked at how to write news articles and created our own using brilliant ideas, quotations and facts.
In our maths learning, we introduced column addition and looked and exchanging hundreds, tens and ones. Everyone applied what they already knew about addition and subtraction to help them with their learning and now have a new method to practise.
This week we also finished our Stone Age learning. On Monday we used what we already knew about people in the Stone Age to tell stories through cave art. We used charcoal and sand paper so it really felt like we were living in the Stone Age. Click below to find the gallery of all our amazing creations.
On Thursday, we created some videos to explain what we have learned about the Stone Age on Apple Clips. As a class, we voted fo the videos that tell us the most about the Stone Age, and posted them to St Oswald'sTV on YouTube. Have a look by clicking on the link below.
In PE, we have continued our new dance topic. The focus in our dance lessons is to use our imagination, be creative, be brave and enjoy ourselves. We have been working in smalls groups to come up with travels, gestures, jumps and turns - all as superheros.
We also started our new RE topic on Visitors. The children came up with some lovely ideas on how we prepare for visitors and what it is like to be a visitor in someone’s home.
