In Year 3 we have been looking at magnets, finding out which things in our classroom are magnetic. We have learnt that magnets have two poles, north and south, and that when you put the south and north together the magnets attract and when you put two north next to each other, the magnets repel.

This week in Maths we have been working on Perimeter. In PE we designed a rectangular running track 6 metres long and 5 metres wide. We worked out the perimeter of the track was 22 metres. In teams we all completed 10 laps - this means we ran 220 metres!

Year 3 are really enjoying their book Krindlekrax. The book has some really funny characters, such as Mr. Lace, Ruskin and Elvis. This week we are creating a brand new character for the book.

This week Year 3 have been learning how important  it is to tell the time accurately. We have been learning the time to five minutes, am and pm and also using digital clocks.

 'On Tuesday afternoon, as part of their RE Topic on Visitors, Year 3 were making a Jesse tree. As part of this we each designed a special Jesse tree symbol on a keyring.'

On Tuesday Year 3 and 4 enjoyed a special showing of the film Migration at the O2 Cinema. We arrived at the O2 just in time to pick the best seats and although the film lasted over an hour and a half it was so entertaining the time just flew by. Everybody really enjoyed the film! We were very lucky...
