Miss Agodo's Teacher Blog

As a school, we celebrated Aspirations week and Year 3 participated in fun activities! Pupils had the pleasure of spending a whole morning in the company of a police man. The police officer was kind enough to show us various tools used in his line of work and answered a variety of questions. Additionally , the first half of year 3 made a visit to the library and enjoyed exploring and engaging with librarians. This is a huge effort to encourage pupils becoming familiar with their local library and promote the love of reading across the school.  
In Computing , we have started to build upon the basic skills learned on Scratch. Pupils had great fun adding backgrounds , changing the direction, and rotating their sprites . In Science , we continued the topic of looking at the various food groups and explored the nutritional information printed in food packages . A variety of food packages , varying from burger meat , cereal, sweet curry chicken with rice and vegetarian options were examined. We looked at the fats, salts, calories, and sugars to determine how much of each food would contribute to a balanced diet . In English , we created sentences focusing on figurative language based on The Magic Paintbrush by Julia Donaldson. Pupils enjoyed looking at a magic paintbrush to generate descriptive phrases and independently researched Chinese traditional locations to enhance their vocabulary.
