Today is the last day of this term. I did something in my big writing book - it was my Beowulf play script. I coloured in a butter fly in maths (it is to do with maths - we were learning symmetry). We also wrote about the Ebor gardens visit.

Today Ebor Gardens school came to visit us. We made a poster about working together - it was a competition but I didn't win. I partnered with a girl called Molly from Ebor Gardens. After the poster we had play time, and after that we had a sort of disco!

In PE I banged my head and I got a bump on it and they didn't even give me a bumped head note - this is war! Chester and Jordan had a war today - they don't get on at all. Jordan kept on tripping Chester over (at least it was on the grass), and then the two of them had mini war.#

We found out that one of our teachers (Mr Bradley) has got a world cup song for the England team - this is the video for it:

It's maths week this week, but we aren't doing hard maths, just games and fun things. In the other maths class today they didn't do anything to do with maths - they just coloured in butterflies! We did a hard maths game, but I worked it out - I think I've got it right; if I have got it right, I'll get a team point tomorrow.

In literacy I was supposed to start a Haiku, but I hadn't finished my play script so I finished that off instead.

Today Summer and I made a poster but no one else in year 3 did. The poster was about walking to school; we decided to do it, but no one else could decide. We did it because Summer banged her head and had to stay in at play time and she asked me to stay in with her.

I finished my story about Beowulf and Grendel which was very good.

Today we went to Farnley Park High School - it was a mini school trip for the year 3s. First we had our lunch (me and Summer finished quite quickly) then we got changed into our sports things and went outside to play. Mr Collier said he would call us in at 1:30pm to get on the coach and he did. We did all types of sports at the High School and two other primary schools were there. We did a running race (I won), a skipping race (I won), hurdles (I won), football penalty kick (I hated that) and standing on one leg (I won) - I was just standing there on one leg talking to Mr Collier while everyone else was wobbling and falling over.

Today we did PE - we played rounders; I enjoyed it a lot although I don't like batting much. In maths we did taking away and they showed us a way of doing it that takes ages!

I finished my eco-house today; Daniel is going to have it to take home with him (not because he likes it - it's just that he never takes things home). In maths I did this taking away and adding up malarkey; it was a completely wasted hour because I could have just used a number line.

Today I made my house - but it was a complete disaster. When I got in this morning, all the paint had pealed off. Then I had to stay in at playtime and re-paint it (I added PVA glue to the paint this time). After that we didn't have enough time to finish it so we had to finish it without the windows which was one of the main things on the eco-house because they had double glazing.

I brought two things today; I brought in a badge and a certificate for my ballet exam; in assembly, I had to go to the front and everyone clapped for me.

Today started making my eco-house; I'm making mine with Daniel. We had maths (I didn't like it at first - it all went a bit wrong at first).

Wednesday, May 12, 2010

Today we had a mental maths tests as well as my SATS. We also had a spelling test (I got 14 out of 20). After lunch all our SATS were over (year 6's have still got their maths and science though).

We had PE today - we were playing tennis. When we had finished PE, we all had to get changed back into out school clothes, and I was first, but when Morgan came out, she just picked me up and put me behind her so it looked as though I was second!

We had a writing assessment today - I wrote about going on a treasure island and finding some treasure. We had a maths lesson too - well, it was sort of a maths lesson; we just went over the things we didn't do well in on the practice test - we didn't get the practice tests back though so I don't know how I did.

We had ICT too - we did a bar chart showing favourite ice cream flavours (the favourite flavour in the class was mint - 11 of us). My favourite was 'other' (no one else had even heard of bubble gum flavoured ice cream!)

Monday, May 10, 2010

Today we did some practice optional SATS tests. We had two tests; both were reading tests. For one we read a fiction book about some people going on a treasure hunt, and the other was a non-fiction book and it was about how to make a treasure map and at the end an actual pirate was going to judge it!

We worked out how to do our science experiment today; we have to splash a drop of water onto four different types of paper; news paper, tissue paper, a tissue and writing paper. This will show us which is the most absorbent. We went on the computers after, but my computer didn't work, but my computer didn't have files, but we've got a new system, so we thought it would work. We have to select our names before we log on now, but my name wasn't there because it was only listing the year 6 children.

Today I brought in a plastic bowl that I wanted to use to make my eco-friendly house. I told Miss that I was going to paint it green so it looked as though it was covered in turf and she thought it was a brilliant idea.

In art I wrote a full page (and a bit) about how to build my eco-friendly house - I'll make a start on it next Thursday.

Thursday, May 06, 2010

We did our practice maths SATS today; I didn't manage to finish it though - there were loads of questions there; it was like a chronicle of maths! We designed an eco-friendly house today too - mine was dome shaped.

Wednesday, May 05, 2010

Today I did a mental maths test - I got 17 out of 20 which is pretty good! None of the year 4's got that high and I'm only in year 3!

Do you remember when we went to Ebor Gardens? Well, they said they wanted a picture of us all, so we had to go in the playground and have our picture taken too.

Tuesday, May 04, 2010

I had PE today - in PE Summer said I was annoying because I kept on throwing the ball around; we were playing tennis - I quite like tennis, but I'm not very good at it.

I did my practice SATS in literacy today so we had to miss maths (unfortunately). We had to read a fiction book before play and a none fiction book after play - I liked the fiction book more even though the none fiction book was shorter.
