  • Year 3 - English

    Published 20/10/23

    Year 3 have been studying the book 'The Rhythm of the Rain' by Grahame Barker-Smith. Working as a group we have investigated each illustration and annotated it with our observations. Noting the role of the river, its environment and the living things within it. The children have compared the river in the countryside which is full of wildlife and compared it to a river journeying through a city and how it can become polluted by humans. Using knowledge from this terms geography we have made links with the watercycle and how the river shapes the land on its journey.

    English and Geography Fieldwork skills

    To prepare for an adventure story, that we will write next half term, Year 4 planned an adventure today.

    The class used the eight points of a compass, a trundle wheel and their mapping skills to plot routes around the school.

    They then had to use their instruction writing skills from our last piece of writing to create directions to their end point for other children in the class to follow.

    No one got lost…

    Rivers

    Year 3 have been busy learning about Rivers in Geography this half term.  We built our own river and watched how the water eroded the banks and deposited stone, soil and sand on its way out to sea. We saw how water naturally finds the lower level and meanders down the v shaped valley in the upper region causing spurs.

    Baking biscuits.

    We adapted a basic biscuit recipe.  The children designed additional features to make their biscuits special.  We learnt lots of new skills and made a huge mess!  There were no biscuits left by the end of the day so I think the biscuits must have been delicious!
