Broadbent Fold today had the fabulous opportunity to observe and learn all about some birds of prey.
Children asked an expert lots of questions:
How do birds fly?
How heavy are they?
What do they eat?
Where do they live?
At home, can children tell parents what they learnt about birds of prey?

Year 3 children started making hot air balloons using paper mache! We can't wait to see the finished designs, watch this space.

Year 3 have thoroughly enjoyed finding places in the UK and the world using Google Earth.
Now where will the hot air balloons go?

Year 3 have been warming up by doing press ups, star jumps and jogging.
Children are learning to play rugby by throwing and bouncing a rugby ball to each other. They have played in groups of 3 or 4 passing the ball.

My goodness me- how the elastic bands flew through the air yesterday in Science! We were experimenting to see if we pulled an elastic band back further whether it would fly a longer distance. We tried to measure the pull force with a Newton Metre but the elastic band would not flick off so we resorted to pulling the band further and further back, six different distances. Look at how well the children did!

What a fantatsic day we had in Year 3 celebrating Roald Dahl's birthday. We came to school dressed in amazing costumes, made incredible potions and marvellous medicine, completed Roald Dahl maths challenges and made up Roald Dahl slogans.
Year 3 have made an excellent start to the year.
Children have used the computer to design a title page for our new topic which includes text and images. In art children improved their use of shading to create different coloured hot air balloons.
A letter even arrived from the Artic!
I wonder where a hot air balloon could go?

We have some budding authors moving up to Year 5 next year! During their last week in Year 4, children enjoyed telling their end of year Time Travel narratives to Year 3! Not only had they written some amazing stories, Year 4 had designed and created their very own Time Travel objects which appeared in their tales! These magical items included watches, clocks, hour glasses, stones, hats, tickets and books! Children from Year 3 thought this made the stories even more exciting! Brilliant writing and fabulous design and technology work too! Mrs Blomeley
