Hinduism and Buddhism in 3SG

16th July 2024Mr Schofield

For our faith day learning, we were first introduced to Hinduism where we learned about the origins of the religion. We recalled our Geographical skills to identify which countries have large populations of this global faith, then completed some reading activities to firm our understanding. We then continued by looking at how Hindu people worship in and out of their homes, comparing the differences.

Later, we were introduced to Buddhism and completed a fact file on what we had learnt about the religion as well as their manners of worship in temples.

Well done all!

Preparing to answer the guiding question.

15th July 2024Mr Schofield

3SG have been working hard to recall their learning from our summer term expedition, putting together notes on a poster that will help them to answer it in writing. We recalled our learning from the DT, History and Science case studies, supporting ourselves with some visual help ready to write up.

Fire safety talk in Year 3

9th July 2024Mr Schofield

Today, we were lucky to have a visitor from South Yorkshire fire and rescue who helped the children to understand a lot about fire safety in their homes and what to do in the event of a fire.

They have all been encouraged to help test their smoke detectors at home, and what they do to get help from the fire and rescue service.

Great participation, thank you to all the pupils and our visitor!

Solid, liquids or Gas?

9th July 2024Mrs Graves

We made our science learning active when we played a game of Solid, Liquid and Gas. On the call, children had to form a group to demonstrate what the particles of solids, liquids and gases look like – solid = tightly packed together; liquid = loosely connected; gas = not connected.

Who knew science could be such active fun!

What time is it, Mrs Graves?

9th July 2024Mrs Graves

This week we have been learning to tell the time using an analogue clock. We have recapped o’clock, quarter past, half past and quarter to, and then moved on to telling the time using 5 minute intervals and in 1 minute intervals.

We enjoyed working together today to build our own clocks to use as our anchor charts in our time lessons.

We have found it quite tricky, as many of use don’t use the traditional clocks. We are much more used to reading digital time on our phones, ovens and cars. So, we would love it if our family at home can help us practise – please keep asking us what time it is, or telling us what time we will be doing things – and please show us what that time looks like on a traditional clock, using the phrases ‘minute hand’ and ‘hour hand’, …. minutes past, ………. minutes to etc.
