If uniforms and hands came home a bit grubby, this is why. Exploring with pencils and charcoal.

We’ve been looking at how to write descriptively this week and make good word choices.

In maths we’ve been working on partitioning 3-digit numbers and in computing we learnt about strong and weak passwords.

The second half of chapter two is dramatic! Korwen (who snuck into the dwelling) is struck with the axe by Brockan. The men of the tribe decide that Korwen should be allowed to strike someone with the axe too. Tenko volunteers to protect Brockan. @DiscoverKelpies

This week in The Boy with the Bronze Axe..."A boy called Tenko appeared from the other side of the sea to save Kali and Brockan. Kali has invited him to her home, Orkney Island."

Today we have been learning how to do a running stitch! We worked really hard on our perseverance in learning this new skill! 🐢

Set in the Stone Age, Kali and her brother went out to sea to collect some food. The problem was, they could not get back to shore because the tide had come in and they were stuck! Next we will find out more...

We had a fantastic debate today about deforestation - the oracy skills of the children were excellent and their understanding of the issues involved were very impressive. Well done, Year 3! 🌎
