The pupils have really enjoyed our class reader The BFG. They produced some lovely wanted posters based on their own gruesome giant designs. We are about to start our narratives based on this classic story. It has been fun making sense of the BFG's idiotic idioms. It has been really impressive to see lots of year 3 children Go Green on TTRS. This means they can answer any times table question in under 4 seconds. Please check in with your child to see how they are getting on with TTRS and if they have Gone Green yet.
The children have started to explore the world of animation beginning by making a flip book. They transferred their knowledge of ever so slightly differing repeated pictures onto the computers. They used the camera function and gallery to create a digital flip book before getting to grips with a stop motion application. Over the coming weeks they will have created their own stop motion narratives. In History we have travelled back 3000 years and over 9000 miles to look at the Shang Dynasty in North Eastern China. The children have been really enthused by this interesting topic; thoroughly enjoying spotting the links between bronze age Britain and Bronze age China. Did you know that people in China were using Bronze 400 years before the people living in Britain? They also developed writing before the people of Britain, ask your child the slightly morbid method of inscription they used.
