A mummy on the loose!

Ohhhhh mummy!

Theres a mummy on the loose in Al Yasmina and Dr Hughes needs the Year 3 children to design a mummy trap and write instructions for how to build it. The Year 3 children set about their task this morning to design and trap and this week we plan to write the instructions for how to build it.

Sustainability week

As part of sustainability week Year 3 Buntings have been researching Masdar City and looking at how it has become a green city. The children then produced posters explaining all about how Masdar City is a green city and presented them to the class. Watch this space for more Sustainability week activities!

Ronie's Rap

Ronie from Year 3 Terns has been working hard on her homework challenges and has created a fantastic times table rap to help her count in 3s. Have a listen and see if you can design your own song or rap! Well done Ronie.

YEAR 3 TERNS - JEU DE MEMOIRE!

Year 3 Terns worked really well on their Memory Challenge in French this week. They won class Dojo points (which become House Points!) for brilliant collaboration and had lots of fun in the process! Bravo Terns! 

Buntings talk the text

After receiving a letter from the National Museum of Abu Dhabi we had to abandon our planned English lessons and start learning about the Egyptians. We have been looking an instruction text on how to build a pyramid and we used the Talk for Writing technique to immerse ourselves in the text. Have a listen to us speaking the introduction of our shared text.

Egyptian artefacts discovered at Al Yasmina

On Monday we were called out of class to go and investigate the sand pit in our school grounds. Our classroom assistants had been informed about artefacts buried deep in the sand. We had lots of fun digging in the sand to uncover the ancient artefacts. Back in class we worked in groups to identify these artefacts and we used our deep thinking skills to discuss what they tell us about the Ancient Egyptian society.
