Year 3

Today Thorp Primary had an easter egg competition. Were we had to paint,colour and create an egg to win a big chocolate egg. The judges were Miss Garside and Miss Clark. They had to choose one person from each class the winner of our class was Ted. People did lots of different and interesting eggs for the competition.

Year three went on a trip to Tatton Park. First we met two ladies called Ruth and Tracey they told us different things about the Stone Age. There were three sections in the stone age called old stone age, middle stone age and new stone age. After we did some learning. We used some rocks to cut some paper and the paper broke. When we had finished we went on to digging with the stone age tools. Tracey told us to get the stone age tools and she asked what tools some of them were easy some of them were not. Later on after our lunch we looked at animal skins. We all followed Ruth and she got out some animal skins everyone got hair on them.

Year 3 all went  to a times table event against 3 other schools. We all walked there. When we got there we all went to the hall. First we danced to a times table song. Then we went to do a puzzle were we had to find a word from times tables. Then Zak and Alycia went to the front of the hall and did the competition on an ipad. Guess who won? Yeah we did because of Alycia and Zak.

Today is world book day! It is one of the best days ever in school. World book day is where you dress up as a character from a book author. In year 3 we have dressed up as characters from Roald Dahl books. We have been reading Charlie and the chocolate factory, Charlie wins a golden ticket to go and visit Mr. Willy Wonka’s factory.

In assembly each year group did a little parade. They stood up and walked around the hall with a connected song to the author or the book they were reading.

In Maths we have been learning the 3 and 4 times tables. In year 4 we are going to learn 6,7,8,9,11 and 12 times tables.

Year 3 are getting the hang of times tables.

Year 3 play times tables games a lot.

Before dinner and playtime Mrs Tomlinson gave us some questions too and it helps us.

If  you know your times tables you will know your division facts.

After Christmas year 3 are going to be doing a times table competition with some other schools.

Some of the year 3 are struggling with their times tables so we do some games that help us.

In year 2 we did a times table cup and people got the cup for a day.

First we went to the coach we were on the coach for at least half an hour. When we got there we met up with Bare Trees Primary School. The first game we played was to meet each other and learn about each other. The second game we played was a picture game were we had to look carefully at a picture and find it we had a card that had numbers up to 18 and we had to clip the number that was on the back of the picture. Then it was dinner time we all had our dinner in a little hut. There was a big house that looked like a castle. Then we went to the playground and we played something like shark attack where we had a rope and we had to get to the raft without falling. Then we moved on to an even smaller one and it was even trickier than the big one. Then we built shelters with a mat, four metal clips and four ropes. Finally we got back on the front of the coach back to our school in time for home time and then we got all of our stuff and went home.

It was amazing going on the coach. We were so excited to go to Tesco. When we got to Tesco we did some work on fruit and vegetables. We worked on different types of cereal. Then we found out how many grams of sugar were in different cereals. Next year 3 went back upstairs to try some food. We tried sunflower seeds, prunes, pitta bread, carrot sticks and cucumber.

Then year 3 got back on the coach and arrived back at school.

First we did some music. We all got a violin and it was exciting. It was fun because we got to learn new things. Mr Lord gave us some important rules. We know each string of the violin and we learnt a song on the violin.  All year 3 did a warm up song and it was calm music.

Mr Lord showed us different ways to play the violin he was very good! You could even do high sounds and low sounds. He told us that his violin was 194 years old. He also told us that he had an even older violin. The bow we couldn’t use because we didn’t get up to that stage yet.

It was new to us all to try the violin but we tried are best we could. Year 3 loved playing the violin.

On Monday 21^st May 2018 y3 went on a school trip to the Regional Science Centre. so what we did was we made some flowers boxes.And then we cut some tulips up and the teacher Miss Judge asked to look inside the flower.

At the end she did an experiment. What happened is she had a Bunsen burner, some matches, some liquid and a can. She put the can on the Bunsen burner with some liquid and the matches heated the can and she put the can in the water and the can got crushed.
