Stone Age Non-Chronological Reports

26th May 2022Miss K. Wilkinson

Year 3 have been working hard in Literacy this half term learning all about non-chronological reports.

They began by learning that non-chronological means ‘not in order’, and identified some typical features of reports such as headings, subheadings and technical language.

During the half term, they gathered information on the Stone Age (which was also their Dimensions topic!), before writing a report, and finally publishing it as a beautiful double page spread with pictures and text.

Take a look at some amazing examples! (click to enlarge)

World Book Day 2022

This week we celebrated 25 years of World Book Day by coming to school dressed as our favourite book characters.

All around the school, children had a fantastic time completing activities related to World Book Day, reading with their friends and discussing their love of reading!

Here are some photos of us in our costumes…

National Storytelling Week 2022

11th February 2022Miss K. Wilkinson

National Storytelling Week logo

This week we have celebrated National Storytelling Week in lower KS2.

As a school we already share a class story each day at 3pm but Miss Fraser asked us to try some extra activities from the list to celebrate.

Year 3 have been reading James and the Giant Peach in Guided Reading. We put our summarising skills to the test this week by making mini-books of the story so far.
We worked hard to design a suitable front cover, and drew some amazing illustrations to go alongside our writing.

Year 4 chose to celebrate with Harry Potter Day (Miss Ingoe’s favourite). We watched some clips about the potions class and created an ideas board of the ingredients we could use in our own potions. The children decided what their potion was for and wrote instructions on how to make it, while listening to some magical music for inspiration. Their ideas were fabulous such as a potion ‘to make me lucky’, ‘to make me meet the Arctic Monkeys’, ‘to make me be a princess’ and my least favourite ‘to make the teachers be quiet!’.

Finally, they wrote them neatly (some children even illustrated them) in their spell books we made before Christmas.
We also had a great time with paired reading today. We chose a book to share with a friend and either listened to the story or took turns to read the story. It was brilliant to hear!

We love story time in Year 3!

27th January 2022Miss K. Wilkinson

Class 7 love story time at the end of the day. Today three of the children wanted to read our end of the day text to the class, rather than listen to Miss Wilkinson!

We love reading for pleasure!

Learning about poetry

2nd November 2021Miss K. Wilkinson

This half term Year 3 will be reading George’s Marvellous Medicine in Literacy. Over the next couple of weeks we will be looking at different types of poetry and writing our own.

Today we discussed different types of poetry (who knew there are so many!), looked at the different features and decided our favourites.
We worked as a class to read the poetry features and match it with the correct poem.

Leon and the Place Between book cover

This half term Year 3 are going to be reading Leon and the Place Between by Angela McAllister and Grahame Baker-Smith.

Wanting to prove to his brothers and sisters that magic really exists, Leon volunteers to be in Abdul Kazam’s magic show and gets transported to a mysterious world. Filled with rabbits, doves, playing cards and magician’s assistants – among other things – if a magician can make it disappear, it will end up in the Place Between.

Vesuvius erupts!

28th May 2021Miss K. Wilkinson

This half term in Year 3, the children have been working towards writing their own newspaper reports of the events of the volcanic eruption in Pompeii in 79AD.

Over the last few weeks they have been building up their skills, looking at structural features, the language used and planning and writing their own newspaper reports. Today they published their work using the Chromebooks.

Here are some examples of our amazing work!

In Year 3 this half term we are going to be reading Escape from Pompeii by Christina Balit.

The story tells the tale of two children forced to flee their beloved Pompeii when Mount Vesuvius erupts. While reading this book the children will be writing setting descriptions of Pompeii before, during and after the eruption, as well as writing newspaper reports of the events of that fateful day in 79AD.

The children are already so engaged with this story, asking lots of questions and linking their understanding of the story to their knowledge of volcanoes (our current Geography topic). We are so excited to keep reading this story!
