Chocolate challenge

A couple weeks ago at the start of our chocolate challenge I gave any willing volunteers a task to complete around chocolate.

I asked them to research the manufacturing of chocolate from ‘Bean to Bar’. They were then asked to make a story board to demonstrate the processes.

The participation from all years was brilliant! It was a difficult decision to find the best from year 3 / 4 and year 5 / 6. I did manage this, and I focused  on the fantastic use of technical vocabulary.

I am happy to announce the winners of the challenge and their own height in chocolate are.

Congratulations to all who participated!!!

 

 

Chocolate Manufacturing challenge

Chocolate challenge week. Lets make sure we know where it comes from!

I have announced today that all pupils can compete in a competition to help understand the manufacturing (making) process involved around chocolate.

I would like children to research the process involved, which turns a cocoa bean into the wonderful thing that is a chocolate bar.

With this information I would like a story board completed showing the process in picture form as well as a description of what is happening.

All information is on the story board sheet.

There is a prize for the best from year 3 and 4 and the best from year 5 and 6. each winner will receive their height in chocolate!!!

Please ( follow link below) print or collect the story board sheets from Mr Lawson and return to his classroom by next Monday (9th).

I can not wait to see these exciting story boards.

PJ’s – Monday 7th October

Dear Parents/Guardians

Please accept my apologies for not being able to get this published before today. I’ve had some technical difficulties but it’s here now!

Here is the letter that went home on Thursday 3rd October regarding PJ’s and the sleep initiative being run by School Council.

Children are to wear PJ’s or comfy clothes (whatever they prefer) with outdoor shoes on Monday 7th. This is to support School Council in raising awareness for a good nights sleep.

Thank you for your patience and support.

Miss Watson and School Council

Year 3 Spellings and Hwk to be completed by 11.10.19

Dear parents,

Year 3 spellings and hwk to be tested 11.10.19

As usual, children need to aim to read every day (minimum 3x weekly) and fill in their reading diaries.

Extra reading = extra house points! Please help your child to learn their x2, x3, x5, and x10 tables. Children will be tested on these regularly. Can they count up in twos, threes, fives and tens? Can they say all of these tables aloud?

Minute Maths homework this week is to try to complete the Minute Maths number bond tests, to develop basic number fluency. Give your child 1 minute per column – if they don’t finish, put a line where they get up to in 1 minute, then support them to complete the calculations.  Can they reduce their time taken over the four tests?

Please mark your child’s answers. Thank you.

HOMEWORK TO BE COMPLETED BY 11.10.18 please (10.10.19 for class 3B)

Thank you for your continued support,

The Year 3 Team.
