Words, words and more words!

We have had a very busy week in Year 3 because it's the last week and time to find out how much we've learned this term.
We tried very hard in maths as there was a lot to remember! Some of us knew all the answers, but not everyone finds maths easy.
We also wrote about our favourite toys using as many descriptions as we could. It was fun because we could play with them when we'd finished our writing!
Everyone worked hard to become better at spelling. We played lots of word games, had quizzes in teams and tried to think of the most challenging words we could learn ourselves and then ask other teams if they knew them!!
We had to see how many 2 letter words we could list in 30 seconds, 3 letter words in 45 seconds, 4 letter words in a minute etc. We had beginnings of words to find endings for, played scrabble and lots more things. It was great fun as well as helping us learn those tricky words we sometimes forget!! Hopefully at the end of the week we'll remember some of the words we met.
We also learned more about team work in PE. This week each team devised a game to teach the
rest of the class. It was brilliant seeing everyone have a go playing the games we'd made up. Ask Year 3 how you play 'stack the bean bag' or 'spider ball'!
However, the highlight of our week was the count down for the Fountain to be used with water for the first time. It was wonderful seeing all the work of so many people come to fruition. Let's hope it will be a feature of Luckwell School for many years to come!!
Have a great holiday everyone!
