Year 3 Blog - Owl Class

We started the week by reading 'No-Bot, the Robot with No Bottom' by Sue Hendra.  The children were inspired to make their own 'Bernard the robot' for the classroom.   They also explored what robots can do and watched a video of robots in a popcorn factory.  As you can imagine, there was a lot of talk about how much they love popcorn!

We finished off this exciting week with Pyjamarama Day.  Everyone was so excited to stand up and show the class their PJ's.  Being a Book Trust day, we decided to collect together some books we have read over the year and each child got to vote for their favourite.   We counted the votes and read the books that had the most votes.  We finished the day with hot chocolate and popcorn — yummy! 

Great fun was had by all, and thank you for all of your very kind donations to the Book Trust charity.

Next week we are planning to design and model our own inventions.  Any junk modelling boxes, tubes, tubs, bottle tops etc would be very much appreciated.

As always, thank you for your support.

After reading, sequencing and retelling the traditional tale 'Jack and the Beanstalk' this week, the children were interested to talk about the types of food Jack and his mum could get from their cow.  The conversation ended in us talking about butter, so we finished the week by making some ourselves!

We split a pot of cream between two jam jars and took turns in shaking them.  The cream first thickened and then after a lot of shaking, it separated into the butter and buttermilk.  We ended the day with crackers and butter - well deserved after a week of hard work!
