Maths - measuring height using measuring tape

The children used measuring tape to measure their height, and put themselves into height order. We found that it was easier to put ourselves in height order using the data that was written down (in cm) rather than try to organise our height from standing next to each other and comparing.


Awards

Well done to these children for receiving a head teachers award, a good to be Green pencil, and Mathletics certificates! 


Reading Ambassador Book Reviews

Well done to our Reading Ambassadors who have all created a book review to display in out KS2 Library. They were asked to make a book review by Tameside Libraries to promote reading across the school. These will be shared on the Tameside Library social media accounts.

Healthy Body Healthy Minds

Year 3 are very lucky to experience the Healthy Body, Healthy Minds sessions which work on team building, and how communicating is important in team work. Children have been taught that to be healthy we all need to exercise.

The second session of Healthy Body, Healthy Minds focuses on relaxing using techniques such as yoga and ways to control emotions. 

These sessions are taking place each Thursday at Broadbent Fold.


Design Technology in Year 3

Design Technology in Year 3.

Children first learnt in Geography about Earthquakes, they planned and designed how to make an earthquake proof building.The designs were amazing hardly any fell apart! 

Maybe future engineers could be the ideal job for Year 3.


Dodgeball skills

Year 3 have started the year very energetically with learning dodgeball skills.

Throughout their PE lessons they have been learning how to successfully dodge the ball. They are improving their throwing and passing skills.

 


Earthquakes

Year 3 have been learning about Earthquakes and the techonic plates. They've learnt that earthquakes are measured using a mercalli scale.


Sports Quiz Winners

Last half term, pupils in KS2 took part in a sports quiz against other primary schools in Tameside. They worked in teams of 4 and aimed to get as many points as possible. A team of pupils in Year 6 called Xmas Sports won first place with a score of 62 points - 2 points clear of the runners up. We also had a team from Year 3 finishing 10th with 43 points, another team from Year 6 finishing 12th with 40 points and a team called 'The Goats' finishing in 13th with 39 points. Well done to everyone who took part!

An explosive theme to Year 3's learning this half term.

We have an exciting term ahead with learning about earthquakes and making earthquake proof buildings. Children will also learn about Volcanoes.  Our class text is Pebble in My Pocket which really inspires our readers.

Geography, Design Technology skills will really be improved, we can't wait!
