Year 3 children investigated shadows with Katie from Science Buddies. We created shadow puppets and investigated how to change the size of a shadow. We also found that we could not change the colour of a shadow.
As part of comic relief we encouraged the children to come to school with crazy hair!
During World Book Day pupils took part in a competition where they had to create a World Book Day voucher. They were given the challenge of creating a bold, eye-catching gift card design that celebrated their interests and showed how books can help you to explore ideas, spark imagination and go further through reading.
The children at Biddick Hall Juniors have been involved in a variety of activities as part of Science Week. They have tested boats, designed a poster, investigated the question, ‘What should we trust machines to do for us? and had a visit from Katie Rochester from Inventors and Makers who came in and worked with each class to do an Artificial Intelligence Workshop.
Science council enjoyed making slime with Katie from Science Buddies.
To celebrate World Book Day an author visited our school called Jodie James. She visited every class to complete an activity and read part of one of her books. All lessons during the day focused around various books and authors. Everyone also took part in a school competition to design a World Book Day token.
All pupils were given a £1 World Book Day book voucher and we held a Scholastic book Fair where books were for sale after school on Monday 9th March.
Our Year 3 children had an amazing time exploring Dennis – the Recycling Education Bus. They learned all about recycling, reducing waste and looking after our environment.
We came to school dressed with a number focus and spent the day exploring number with a focus on estimation.
- We made pictures from numbers.
- Estimation Activity – We got given pictures and the we had to order the pictures on from smallest to largest. We discussed how we did it and then gave our best estimate of the amount.
- We did a fun number Scavenger Hunt around the school. We estimated first then had to go around the school finding our if we were right!
- We had fun creating a page for a Number Book for a younger child. Mrs Rennie is going to send them to the Infant School as a stapled book.
- We found out if we were Smartie Pants! We had to guess how many Smarties were in a tube. We then had to think of the colours of the smarties and estimate how many of each colour there might be.
- We estimated how much it would cost to buy enough apples for every child in our class to have 1/4. We then got to check and eat the apple!
Year 3 enjoyed a fantastic day at Temple Park, taking part in a Multi-Skills Challenge. There were several stations to experience which targeted skills such as throwing and catching, ball control, speed and agility, aiming at a target and teamwork.
Year 3 children visited Boldon School to take part in a tennis festival. We completed lots of different tennis activities and we all had a great morning!
