This week Year 3 have been completing their Design and Technology project.
We constructed our castles out of 3D shapes and then decorated our castles in colours to reflect the person who would live in it.
Year 3 have been constructing 3d shapes to use when constructing a castle in Design and Technology.
They have researched castles and designed a castle each.
Now they are creating the shapes they will use. They have been learning to fold and score card accurately. They have had to use determination and problem solving skills. They have had a great time.
Some important information about coming back to school in September.
If you are looking for ways to make sure that your children are still getting their 60 minutes of physical activity whilst at home and you are also looking for home schooling ideas, then have a go at one of these!
Why not have a go at this digital escape room with a Harry Potter theme.
On Thursday 5th March we celebrated World Book Day. This year’s theme was ‘Share a Million Stories’. We began the day by discussing the importance and benefits of sharing a story and who we could share a story with. The rest of the day was spent completing book related activities and completing a school competition. As part of the day we either wore our pyjamas or dressed up as a book character, we were very impressed with the children’s efforts and enthusiasm.
Discovery Zoo came into school as part of Maths, Science and Technology week and worked with each class sharing a variety of animals with the children.
Two teams of children attended a benchball tournament at Boldon school. The children worked well in their teams and were excellent representatives of our school.
As part of ‘Creative Week,’ Ian from Doodle Bug came to Biddick Hall Junior School to work on ‘Growth Mindset.’ He taught everyone how to draw and many of us surprised ourselves with our end results. He taught us to be resilient, patient and to persevere even when we find things tricky. Always believe in the power of YET! I can’t do it YET!
Year 3 are loving Creative Week! Today Year 3 were introduced to the concept of font design. We explored how font type can change the way words are presented, and how we can take inspiration from many different sources to invent something new. Using a mixture of twigs, grasses, nuts, bolts and screws, the children have developed their observational drawing and mark-making skills to produce very effective font designs. We are really pleased with the results.
