In History this term, Year 3 are starting to learn about the Bronze Age! This week, the children have started to compare tools, clothes and jewellery across the ages.
This week, Year 3 began their new learning all about fractions! We have started to use the words 'numerator' and 'denominator' to refer to the top and bottom parts of a fraction. Now we all know that when a denominator is bigger, that means the whole has been divided into smaller parts!
In Year 3 Computing today we continued our journey into coding by exploring the Micro:bit, a mini computer that we can program to achieve lots of different outcomes. We loved exploring the device and creating images do display on it, as well as using it to create a flashing heart animation.
Are people crazy to live near a volcano? Today, the children identified both positive and negative reasons to live near a volcano. There are many islands in the world that are volcanic islands, where people choose to go on holiday. Some countries, use the heat from the magma and steam to provide their houses with natural heating and hot water. Furthermore, they mine for minerals, gold, lead and sulphur from the magma, However, there are some negatives to living near a volcano as when they erupt they can destroy both houses and landscapes as well as mud slides. The ash and volcanic eruptions also stop travel around the world.
