We have been learning about Pirates, sailing on Pearlescent seas. We have written some fantastic descriptions of Pirates and where they live. Later on in the term we look forward to having a Pirate Party!! We have also enjoyed our first Spanish lesson of Year 3. We are really looking forward to Swimming next week!

In Monkey Puzzle class we have been doing some very fun learning as we have had a rather piratey week!
We have been working really hard on our presentation and are really proud of our work!
In English we did a drama roleplay of what it would've been like to live and work on a pirate ship! Some of us got to be the Captain and really enjoyed bossing the others around. Some of us got marooned on desert islands, had swordfights and even walked the plank! We watched Peter Pan and did some magical descriptions of characters using interesting adjectives!
In Dance we began our work on pirate dances. We learned different actions like: climbing the rigging, scrubbing the deck and saluting the Captain. We all worked really well as a team to create a sequence of movement to represent life on a ship!
In Maths we have been working hard on place value. We used diennes to represent hundreds, tens and ones in a number. We have used the greater than and less than symbols to compare numbers!
