Class 3
June Half Term Mini Project
Next term, we will be looking at 'land use' in our local area with a focus on farming.
So that we can start thinking about this, we ask that your child completes a mini project (fact file) all about the village or town where you live. We know that some of you live 'in the middle of nowhere' so we ask that your child choose their closest village to write about. We would love for these projects to include writing, photographs and pictures. This can be presented in any way you choose but we have included an example idea worksheet below if you're really stuck for ideas. These will be shared when we are back in school and displayed in our classroom. We can't wait to learn all about the village where you live!
My Village fact file
22/05/23
Today we started learning about time in Maths, we began by recapping on what we already know. We know that there is 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour. We were also able to tell the time at o'clock and half past. The children have brought home a small clock to practice, even just 5 minutes practice in the evening would be very helpful please!
- Year 3 - telling the time at 5 minute intervals on analogue clocks
- Year 4 - telling the time on an analogue clock and converting to digital time
Science 18/04/23 - Rocks
Our new focus in Science this term is Rocks. We began by investigating various common rocks, we described their texture and appearance. Afterwards we tried to match each rock to the correct name. The rocks we learnt about were chalk, limestone, granite, marble, sandstone and slate!

Science - Tuning Forks
We are really enjoying learning about sound in Science! We took part in a carousel of activities today to investigate how sound is made. We discovered that that when sound is made there is a vibration. Our favourite activity was using the tuning forks to create ripples in the water!

We had a great time at the Cotswold School participating in a gymnastics festival! We enjoyed the various activities such as, balancing on a beam, the trampolines and using the ribbons to create shapes.
Science 24/01/23
In Science, we have been learning about light. We have enjoyed exploring what are light sources in our world today. We have also had lots of fun experimenting with mirrors, we have considered that images in a mirror appear to be reversed. In the pictures below, we tried to follow this wavy line using only a mirror to guide us, it was very tricky due to the reflection!
