We are geographers in Class 3

This week we have been considering the question ‘What is geography?’ We took part in a scavenger hunt around school to photograph clues that helped us to answer the question. We studied a variety of maps identifying their features and finally located the 7 continents and 5 oceans of the world.

Collaboration in Class 3

In maths we collaborated to solve problems involving addition and subtraction. We used practical equipment and developed our reasoning and explanation skills with our partners.
This afternoon we had our introduction to our brand new iPads. Our expert visitor taught us how to take photos, view them and delete the ones we didn’t want. We worked in groups supporting each other and critiquing the photographs we shared.
