Pizza making!!!

Last week was 'Shine Week'. We were given the chance to learn about things that we would not usually learn about in school.

In year 3 We decorated our own T-shirts and made pizza's. Have a look at some of the pictures of us making our delicious pizza...

Maths Week Vs Great Plant Hunt!

The week before half term, was Maths week at Fairlop and also the national 'Great Plant Hunt'. In maths, Mr Trutwein was teaching about data gathering and for the plant hunt, we had to identify different types of plants found around the school grounds, and take photos!

So we decided to link both activities together and we collected data on how many plants we saw of a particular type.

Here are some pictures of the flowers we found... see if you have these in your garden or local park!

Trip to the British Museum

3T had a great day out at the British Museum and learnt a lot of new things about the Egyptians!
We learnt about all sorts of things...we discovered how the Egyptians lived and worked, what happened to them when they died and their amazing architecture.
Have a look at some of the pictures we took...

It has been a busy week for year 3!

We went to Redbridge Sports Centre on Thursday for our first tennis lesson, we all really enjoyed ourselves and were extremely tried afterwards. Here are some pictures ...

We also had the amazing opportunity to make our own paper! We had a special guest, who works for the borough and encourages people to ...REDUCE, REUSE & RECYCLE!!!

Here are a few pictures of us making out very own pieces of paper.

Problem Solving in Numeracy

Last Friday, we had numeracy in our normal classes and was set a challenge!!!

Our challange was...

You have 20 straws and you have to make as many squares as possible - no bending or cutting the straws!!!

We had a great time trying to solve this problem and we all agreed that the maximum amount of squares without crossing straws, was 9.

Then Mr Trutwein let us cross the straws and some of us managed to make 32 squares!

Here are some pictures of us scratching our heads and working hard to solve this problem...

Trip to the Mandir

This week Year 3 visited the Mandir in Ilford as part of their RE topic on Hinduism. They were able to watch the time of prayer 'Arti', ask questions and have a look at the shrine and the different Hindu deities.

ICT in Literacy

Year 3 have been writing non-chronological reports about various topics. 3T chose to write about Hinduism...

When we finished our reports, some children were chosen to Asus notebooks, to present their work!

We really enjoyed ourselves and we can't wait to insert pictures to go with our reports!

Here are some pictures of us using the laptops...
