Due to the snow falling from the sky and whizzing around in the wind, it wasn’t safe enough for us to carry out our normal kwik cricket lessons so we had to change our lesson to suit being indoors!

We watched a Joe Wicks Body Coach workout and copied his movements to complete the High Intensity Workout for schools.  Joe Wicks posted a week long series of workouts for schools that you can access from home by clicking on the following link; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TGEdzRzSbw 

After this, we listened to relaxing music and carried out some mindfulness activities.

A very different but very energetic lesson!

Year 3 have started their new topic of ‘Active Planet’ by researching facts and creating fabulous eBooks and Morfobooth videos to demonstrate what they have been learning about.  We also looked at the Pixar short ‘Lava’ on YouTube and wrote a short retell of the story using sentence openers such as ‘After a while’ and ‘During this time’.  We can’t wait to learn about the properties of rocks and to carry out experiments such as dissolving parts of rocks in vinegar!

Year 3 enjoyed making a Skara Brae (remaining Stone Age settlements in Orkney, Scotland) settlements with their shoe boxes.  We discussed the foundations and how the land is above the settlements and why only the stone remains.  The children discussed the use of animal skins for purposes such as blankets and the importance of a fire pit in the centre of the room.  The children then went outside to work in groups using natural materials to recreate the settlements
