Computing - Introduction to Scratch

 In Computing this afternoon Year 3 have been learning about the Scratch programming environment. We were each challenged to successfully login to our Chromebooks, open the Scratch website and then add 2 sprites, backdrops and motion blocks to our projects. We are looking forward to learning more about Scratch over the coming weeks.

What comes out of a volcano?

 This week only one class took part in this lesson as all of Year 3 went on a Geography Fieldwork trip to Moors Valley.  In the lesson the children identified what came out of a volcano and then they used Google Earth to walk around two volcanoes. Here, they identified the features of a volcano from the last lesson as well as describing what they could see as we walked around the volcanoes.

What are the features found in a volcano?

 What an amazing lesson, year 3. First, the children recapped the layers of the Earth from last lesson and how the tectonic plates move. Then, the children watched a small clip with Dr Bonocs, as he discussed the different features that can be found inside a volcano. The children were amazed watching how quickly a pyroclastic cloud can move and the damage it causes. Once the children understood the different features there was a model of a volcano some of the children found interesting and they were able to describe the features.  The last part of the lesson located the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean. More than 75% of the world’s volcanoes and earthquakes happen here.  Have a look at the beautiful painting one of the children made of a volcano. Mrs Gregory was very excited to see it and share it with the class.
