Welcome back to Year 3 blog! Apologies that there wasn’t a written
blog last week but the entire blog had somehow been deleted!
I understand that some of you may have had problems logging onto
the MyMaths homework set last week by Miss Shefford and Mrs Meredith. As both
classes were trying to access the site, the site can sometimes fill up and not
allow other users to log on. Also, it is important once you have completed your
homework on MyMaths that you log off so others can log on.
This week in Literacy we have been writing adventure stories based
on ghosts in Hangman’s wood. The children had some lovely ideas which they
completed in their planning for last week’s homework. We have been using these
plans this week to write the 5-parts of the story each day. The children have
been very enthusiastic about writing their own adventure stories based on
ghosts and they have all produced fantastic stories using lots of description
and dialogue to engage the reader.
One example I have chosen is by Greg Clark in Cedar,
They say that in Hangman’s wood there are ghosts. Peter Fisher didn’t
believe that tale. That is, not until he went walking there…
Minutes later, Peter was standing staring right into the wood.
HANGMAN’S WOOD. Slowly, he tiptoed into the wood. He could feel his heart
thumping as he reached the heart of the wood. Just then, Peter spied a figure,
he ran ahead curious to find out who it was..
“Who’s there?” cried Peter with terror.
This week we have also been blessed with beautiful sunny weather so
we spent our Science lesson outside looking at shadows and how they change in
size and colour as the day moves on. Next week we shall be using shadows to
create silhouette pictures in Art.
Have a lovely weekend and enjoy the sunshine!
