On Tuesday 23rd May 2023, we invited our parents into school to help us with our science learning. Our topic for this half term has been 'How does our skeleton develop throughout our life?' During this topic we have looked at our skeletons, animal skeletons, muscles and organs.
Today we worked with our peers and parents to create a structure to protect our brains. We used a chocolate tea cake as a brain and used a variety of different materials to create a structure (the skull). We then dropped them out of a window and tested to see if our skulls (tea cakes) survived.
On Thursday 18th May 2023, we celebrated Outdoor Classroom Day! We went outside and read a book. We read The Wizard of Oz retold by Joshua George and There's a dragon in your book.
We loved reading the dragon book and then drew our favourite part of the story!
Healthy eating talk
On Friday 21st April 2023 we had a healthy eating talk in the hall with the nurses. They went through the Eatwell plate, spoke about sugars and the importance of physical activity. We learnt a lot and were able to create our perfect plate using the Eatwell plate!
Reading Challenge:
Each term, we are holding a Reading Challenge in Year 3. Each time you read at home, either with an adult or independently, write it in your reading record. For each comment in your Reading Record, you will receive a raffle ticket into the prize draw! Make sure you bring your Reading Records into school daily so we can enter you into the prize draw! Good luck!
Each time you have read and returned your library book you will collect a point for your Starbooks chart. When you have reached 10 points on your chart, you will get a token to add to the schools library's class tally. Keep reading and let's see if we can become the top class!
Websites to practice your skills:
Mathletics, Spelling shed, Times table rockstars, Purple mash
Easter Egg Hunt
On Friday 31st March, we had a very 'egg-citing' treat!
We took part in a Reddal Hill Easter Egg Hunt and worked together as a team to see if we could find all of the Easter Eggs! Every child had the chance to find an egg and get a sweet treat!
As we celebrate togetherness, after a period where isolation was a sad but necessary reality, ‘Connections’ is an apt theme for British Science Week 2023. Nearly all innovations in science, technology, engineering and maths are built on connections between people; two (or more) heads are better than one, after all!
Our key question this week was:
How are habitats affected by climate change?
On Monday, we explored different habitats and made connections between the animals that live there.
On Tuesday, we focus on the the Arctic Habitat. We looked at polar bears and how their habitats are changing! We spoke about Greta Thurnberg and everything that she has done for the environment. In our groups, we created a shelters for ice cubes. We used different materials to ensure that the ice cube didn't melt.
On Wednesday, we explored the flubber of polar bears and how their bodies adapt to their environment. We used bowls of ice to test different materials to see which materials were a good thermal conductor.
On Thursday, we explored pollution and oils in the seas. We used cabbage water as a PH level, we used a variety of liquids and solids to test if they were an acid or alkali.
***************************************************************************************************************
On Friday 3rd March 2023, we celebrated World Book Day. In Year 3, we focused on the story 'Charlie and The Chocolate Factory'. We designed our own chocolate bars, went on a golden ticket hunt as well as creating our own chocolate bar!!

We then created our own odd socks to support Anti Bullying awe picked 2 winners, those were...

At Reddal Hill Primary School we have wonderful children who go above and beyond what is asked of them. We notice the excellent behaviour and attitude of these special children and choose them to have our ‘Caring and Kindness Award’.

Well done to…

We started off by talking about why people need to budget our money.
We next practiced how to buy things with a budget with the example of our lunch!
Finally we all went to our own ‘Reddal Hill Market’. We each had a budget and filled in our own shopping list on what we could afford to buy.
We finished the session by understanding that we need to think about what we can buy and what we need to buy!
Well done Year 3; great skill on budgeting your money!

Here is a link which explains how you can be involved in a Guinness World Record!

Reading
Can you challenge yourself and your family to do 20 minutes reading every day this week?
If you have run out of books to read at home, have a look at the
e-books available from Oxford Owls. https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/books/fr ee-ebooks/
Writing
We know we have some fantastic writers in our class. You could use a picture as a stimulus to help you write a brilliant story. If you go to https://www.onceuponapicture.co.uk/ there are some great images to help. If you click on the picture, it will give you questions to help you begin writing. Why not practise your letter writing skills and send us an email telling us about what you have
been up to!
In History this term, we would have been learning about the Anglo Saxons and Scots and why they came to settle in Great Britain. Maybe you could do some research of your own and present it with some pictures. You could find out all about the Staffordshire Hoard which was found 10 years ago in a farmer's field with a metal detector! Or you could have a go at making something. Maybe a Saxon shield or a village. Here are a few links to help you:
https://www.staffordshirehoard.org.uk/
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zxsbcdm
In Geography this term, we would have been learning about Settlements. Why and where people chose to settle and live where they do. Maybe you could find out some information and write it down with a picture of an ideal settlement or make a model. Here is a link for more information:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zx72pv4/articles/zrbvjhv
In science this half term we should have been learning all about light.
Light travels away from a light source in straight lines until it meets an object. When an object blocks light travelling from a source, a shadow is made.
Check out this BBC bitesize link which shows how to create your own shadow puppet show.
www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/z87jmp3
Thank you Kellie-Marie for showing us your shadow puppets, they're brilliant! Please share with us any home learning/activities you've been doing - hermione@reddalhill.sandwell.sch.uk
Hi everyone, White Rose Maths has created some fantastic new maths resources specifically for Year 3 - please give them a go if you can. If you need any worksheets printing off and cannot do this at home, please email us at hermione@reddalhill.sandwell.sch.uk and we can organise this for you.

Have fun!
Hello Hermione class!
Can you guess who my number 1 reading buddy is at home? This is my dog, Poppy. She is a 10 year old Dalmation and she LOVES story time! Our favourite book at the moment is The World's Worst Children by David Walliams, it's very funny!
I always try to read a little bit every day, especially while we are off school, and you should too. Perhaps you could read to a pet like me? Or a teddy? Or your brothers/sisters?
There's a good chance your friends could be reading the same books. Hopefully we will all be back together soon and we can chat all about the stories we have enjoyed.
Keep smiling :)

Santa Safari Trip!
On Monday 3rd December, the whole of Year 3 went to Santa Safari at West Midlands Safari Park!
We stayed on the coach for the drive through safari, we then went to see Santa in his grotto where we got to choose our own present, we then walked around the Ice Age, Dinosaur Land and the Reptile House before finishing our day with a drink and a cookie from Mrs Claus! A wonderful day Year 3 and an amazing way to kick start all of our Christmas celebrations!
Fun in P.E.!
