    Computing - Branching Database

    Posted by Miss L Heward
    Today, Year 3 considered the structure of their branching database. We looked at the difference between a poorly and well structured branching database. We had a go at creating our own well structured branching database.

    PE - Netball

    Posted by Miss L Heward
    This lesson, we had a go at shooting in netball. We considered where we needed to be positioned to make it easier for us to score a point. We noticed that a netball net does not have a backboard whereas basketball does.

    Science - shadows

    Posted by Miss L Heward
    Year 3 observed and explored shadows. They learnt that shadows are formed when light is blocked by an object. They observed how shadows changed when the light source is in a different position - inside the classroom using torches and outside using the sun's position.

    Computing - Branching Database

    Posted by Miss L Heward
    We continued to developing our understanding of ordering objects in a branching database structure. We used an online database tool (2Question on Purple Mash) to arrange objects into a branching database, and created our own questions with yes/no answers.

    PE - Netball

    Posted by Miss L Heward
    Today, we focused on our footwork. We learnt that, in netball, when you are holding the ball you cannot move your feet (travel). However, you can pivot. We practised this along with passing and catching.

    Computing - Branching Database

    Posted by Miss L Heward
    Year 3 continued to develop their understanding of using questions with yes/no answers to group objects more than once. They learnt that a branching database is arranged into a tree structure and had a go at creating this on paper.

    PE - Netball

    Posted by Miss L Heward
    Today, Year 3 learnt how to use a bounce pass and an overhead pass. We thought about when we might need to use these different passes. We also took time to consider how we can make it more difficult for an opponent to pass the ball.

    Visit from Rednock

    Posted by Miss L Heward
    Year 3 were very lucky to have some visitors from the nearby sixth form. They did some work with them using the microbits and learnt some different ways they can use an iPad or laptop to program a robot!
