On the penultimate week of our first term we have been, as ever, very busy in Year Three!
In English we have been learning about the differences and uses of verbs and adverbs. A verb is a doing or action word. An adverb is a word that describes that verb. Example:
Jack ate his breakfast quickly. With this new tool we are now writing sentences that pack a punch!
In Maths we continued to learn about shape values and properties where we extended our knowledge about vertices, edges and faces of shapes.
In Topic we have been continuing our learning about dinosaurs. Moving on from the Mosasaur we have been learning about the Spinosaurus one of the most fearsome and dangerous of the dinosaurs. We are starting to see ourselves now as amateur palaeontologists!
In the second half of this week and during the course of our last week of term we have undertaken a project which we will encapsulate our skills in English, Topic, Maths, Art and Geography. We are writing a book based on our knowledge and continuing study on dinosaurs and creatures who existed before them.
We have started by looking at three creatures for our project: the Griffinfly, Pelagornis and the Paraceratherium. We have been utilising our knowledge of maths comparing the sizes of these dinosaurs with the largest dinosaur that had ever existed: the Aregntinosaurus. We also made a plan which we can then expand upon while creating our books.
For our project we are learning new ways of researching and using our gained knowledge to make the book as close to a real book as possible. This involves fact checking, conjugating our ideas into clear, legible text and focusing on high presentation. We are going through specific books, using digitised archival sources and high quality videos to understand fully our chosen subject. We are really excited about this project and the new facts we are learning.
