Good Morning Yr 3
Next week, in maths we will be consolidating our multiplication and division learning.
We will be looking at using ‘the bar model.’
You may have seen these before, but check out the video below the familiarise/introduce yourself.
It is just like the ‘part, part whole model.’

Have fun!
Don’t forget to do your Mathletics!

Hi 3J!
This week in writing we have been writing diary entries!
Hi 3J,
This week in R.E we talked about where different people might go to worship and engage in their religion.
We talked about our own experiences and shared what we know about these places of worship.
Remember that not all religious people attend a place of worship.
Do you remember what religion people follow if they attend these places of worship?
If you’re not sure, have a look at this website to learn more: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/subjects/z7hs34j
In the comments, share what you know and any experiences you might want to tell the class about religion and places of worship.

A biography is when you write an account of another person’s life.
Your challenge is to find out an interesting fact about them and share it right here on our class blog 😄
Hi 3J,
This week in Science we continued our topic of Rocks, Soils and Fossils.
We tested the properties of Marble, Slate, Granite, Gabbro, Chalk and Sandstone.
By trying to scratch into these stones using a copper coin, we tested the durability.
When we placed the rocks into a tub of water, we could see if the rock had a high density (it sank) or a low density (it floated).
We also tried pouring water onto the rocks to see if the water would pass through. Water passed through none of them and we found they were NOT permiable.
Finally, we made observations about the feel and texture of the rocks.
Find some rocks in your garden, local park or green space. Make sure you give them a good clean before using them in our investigation!
Test their properties like we did in class.
You can ask yourself the questions:
Share your finds with us in the comments please.
Next week we will be learning about fossils and retelling the rare and fascinating process of fossilisation.
See you soon, Geologists!

Hi 3J,
In Art, you have started to look at works by Jean-Michel Basquiat
He was inspired by graffiti and used the subways of New York to display his art.
Check at this link below, which contains more facts about Basquiat and his life.
Have a go at creating your own graffiti-style work, using cartoons and scrawled text.
Emily has also uploaded some images to Instagram of children’s Basquiat themed work to help you.
Have fun!

Morning 3J,
This half term, in PSHE we will be learning all about ‘Keeping Safe.’
This might be at home, in school, on the road, or on our bikes.
Click on the link below for a classic song about road safety, featuring two hedgehogs.
As part of PSHE, we chose Sislin Fay Allen as our significant person for the term.
Check out this link below about Sislin.
She made history by becoming the first female black police officer in the UK
Think about who else keeps you safe in your community.
Remember, stay safe!
Stop, look, listen THINK!

Hi 3J,
This week in Geography we looked at rivers in the UK.
Some of these included:
Thames, Wye, Tyne, Trent, Clyde, Ply.
Most famously, London is home to the River Thames.
However, there are lots of smaller rivers in South London where our school is located!
These rivers are called:
River Ravensbourne,
River Quaggy,
River Effra,
River Peck
River Neckinger.
Which one is closest to this school?
Try to find them on google maps and see how close they are.
If you find the closest one to our school you could wander down and see it on the weekend!
Happy river-finding!

Hi 3J,
This week we have learned, practiced and performed a wonderful song by the famous Jamaican musician, Bob Marley.
The song we sang this week was ‘One love‘ >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdB-8eLEW8g
Can you remember the lyrics?
Bob Marley has many other famous songs. You may already know the song ‘3 little birds‘ >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LanCLS_hIo4
Have a listen to this song called ‘Is This Love‘
Bob Marley made Raggae music. What is similar in each of these songs that make it a Raggae piece of music?
Try to listen to the drum beat, the instruments and the message in the lyrics.
You can learn more about him here:

And you can learn more about Reggae here:

Enjoy!

Hi 3J
As part of our Black History Month celebration, we looked at art by Chris Ofili.
Chris’s art has been featured in the Tate, and he won the Turner Prize at the age of 30.
Famously, he used elephant dung in his art.

Have fun!
