Class 3 has had a busy and exciting week filled with fantastic learning across all subjects! At the beginning of the week in Maths, we practised our times tables using a range of fun strategies, including singing 'The 4 times table song' and 'The 6 times table song' as well as finding the missing multiple. In English, linked to our topic on Around the World in 80 Days, we went on a virtual journey across Europe by putting ourselves in Mr Fogg and Passepartout's shoes for an immersive train simulation. We arranged the classroom in rows, had our tickets ready, and discussed everything we could hear, see, feel, and smell on our travels, which really opened our senses and broadened our vocabulary so we could write high-quality, immersive expanded noun phrases. Elsewhere in the curriculum, we learnt how to dribble and defend the ball against an opponent in basketball, while in Computing we explored the key features of emailing—such as 'inbox', 'drafts', and 'compose'—before writing an email to our class teacher using a formal tone and style. Finally, Year 3 got creative in Art by making their Egyptian designs on papyrus paper, and in PSHE we had an important discussion about how to stay safe in public spaces.
