Lego Printing

As part of our celebration of Denmark, the children have used Lego to print scenes of a Copenhagen street. We also used Lego in our Mary’s session today when we made three digit numbers and added or subtracted 10 and 100.

European Day of Languages next Tuesday

Dear Parents/Carers,

On Tuesday 26^th September we will be celebrating European Day of Languages across Newdale. Year 3 have been allocated Denmark to explore for the day. We will be completing Danish themed activities in class on that day and children may come into school wearing red and white clothing to signify the Danish flag. Please remember that this is also a PE day so suitable coat and trainers will be needed.

Thanks,

The Year 3 Team

Rock investigation

Yesterday we investigated the properties of slate, granite, limestone and sandstone. The children observed the appearance of each rock and tested the hardness using metal screws to scratch the surface. We used vinegar to see if the rocks contained reactive calcium carbonate and we also tested for permeability by dropping water using pipettes.

K’nex Challenge

Yesterday, I challenged the children to build something that shows off their learning from this year. They produced some incredibly creative pieces, such as Roman ballistas, chariots and shields as well as other items linked to our Science and Nature Walks. They chose whether or not to work in a group and practised sharing limited resources.
