2022-24 Year 3 Blog

 Today, the children took a virtual trip into the tropical rainforest in Brazil as well as the temperate forest (Parkhurst). They identified the different climates found in both and the seasons as well as the different plants and animals that live there and why.  Finally, the children designed a new animal to live in one of the biomes. They had to identify which floor the animal would live in and why. Some amazing creatures designed. 

 Year 3 revised the Jack and the beanstalk vocabulary and listened to a different version of the story. They then verbally translated parts of the story. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to act out the story. We will do that next week. 

 Today in Computing, we have been using the skills learnt this term to make stop motion animations. We have found out about the importance of frames, steady cameras and onion skinning! Using all of these techniques, we were challenged to design and make the ultimate animation. We then evaluated our work and made changes where needed!

Year 3 sang their song. They told their partner the story of Jack in the Beanstalk in English. They then listened to the story in French. They then labelled the images using  Jack in the beanstalk vocabulary.   

Year 3 sang their song and practised using J’aime and Je n,aime pas to give their opinion about whether they liked a particular vegetable. They had a conversation with their partner. They then wrote some sentences expressing their opinions.
