PE WB 6/01/25

 This week, Year 3 have begun their gymnastics and basketball topics in PE! 


Basketball has been focussing on the fundamental skill of dribbling and just how important it is to be in control of the ball. The children started off slow but then began to build up their speed and even started to change directions whilst on the move.


Gymnastics saw the children learning all about space and just how our bodies can fill it! There were some impressive stretches and paired balances on show.

Incredible Iron Age!

On Wednesday, Year 3 had a visitor from the Iron Age! Holly showed us lots of fascinating iron age activities, games and jobs. We learned how to spin and weave wool from a real sheep, how to use a rotary quern to grind corn into flour, how to make pots out of clay and how to play some fun Iron Age games. We even chose Iron Age names for ourselves and learned a little about Iron Age law and order!

Helping or harming? Safe choices for our bodies.

  Helping or Harming? In PSHE this week, Year 3 were learning about how our bodies can be helped or harmed by different things, and how we can make choices about what we consume. We had some fantastic discussions about this, for example: enjoying chocolate in moderation, how many doughnuts is too many doughnuts(!), what makes water the best drink for our bodies, and why some drinks are not for children.  Year 3 were then tasked with sorting a range of different foods, drinks and ingredients into 'helping' or 'harming' for bodies. We were especially impressed to see that children understood that some items could be harmful for one person but not for another, for example, if somebody has allergies. Keep up the super sensible decision-making!

Assessment

 This week, the children carried out their assessment about volcanoes. Are all volcanoes bad for the Earth? There were some great discussions within the class.  To conclude their leaning, one of the children made a volcano and we used both coke and mentos as well as bicarbonate and vinegar to make it erupt.  What an explosive time.
