Opinion Continuum

As part of our oracy work Year 3 played Opinion Continuum this week. In our class text Carrie's War evacuated child Nick is almost beaten by his host family for stealing a biscuit. We discussed the question 'Is it ever okay to steal?' We had some scenarios and we had to decide if we agreed, disagreed or were somewhere in the middle of both. We had an interesting discussion- well done year 3.


Mad Science Visit

Broadbent Fold were lucky to have a visit today from Mad Science today to deliver us an interactive assembly on 'What you should know about H2O' where we learnt all about solids, liquids and gases and how water is the only thing that can change between all three. We also learnt how water gets from the sea to our tap through the water cycle. We had some fantastic volunteers who showed us how water is checked to make sure it is clean enough to drink and the role that engineers and scientists play in this.


Sprinting

Year 3 enjoyed their first athletics lesson looking at good techniques for sprinting in 2 metre races and in relay races.


Summer 1 Information

This term our new topic is 'Does your country need you?' where we explore WW2 especially looking at the children who were evacuated which we will discuss through our class text 'Carrie's War'. We have our experience day on Friday 9th May so please read the previous messages for more details. Please see the attached topic web with all of the planned learning for the next five weeks.
