They also learnt the names of the different colours and learnt Il and Elle as pronouns to use when describing a monster. They read and listened to a description of a monster which they then drew. The following they coloured it in, as per the description. They then wrote sentences describing a monster.
Y3 Marble run
Last week Y3 completed building their final product! The children worked together to plan out their marble runs, they used their knowledge from our skill sessions on joins and howmto creat bends and bridges. All of the marble runs worked and looked great! The children were so pleased with themselves and made me proud :) Well done Y3! This week we will be evaluating our marble runs.
Fieldwork
This week, year three have enjoyed going outside to complete their fieldwork. They visited four different areas of the school and debated the risk in that area for lava flow, ash cloud, earthquakes, landslides and more. Using their knowledge from their lessons they were able to discuss and justify their answers. Fabulous lesson year three.
DT Making our smoothies!
Today Elm class demonstrated their health and safety knowledge of the kitchen by safely making their own smoothie. They followed their individual recipes and own instructions to create their tasty drinks! The children also learnt about the importance of packing-why we some products need it and what information it should include. They then designed packaging for their own smoothies! Well done Elm class! Next week we will be evaluating our smoothies :)
