Jigsaw – Year 3

2nd May 2018 Mrs N SIDHU Leave a comment

Shared ‘The jigsaw charter’ with the children to reinforce how we work together.

Calm me

At the beginning of every jigsaw lesson we help our minds calm down so that we are ready to learn.

Today in jigsaw lesson children had male/female/both cards and a set of ‘whose responsibility?’ Cards. We asked the children to read each statement, children decided if it is a job mainly for men women or both and places it beneath the coresponding sign. Children also wrote extra ideas of their own.

Children then had to draw each member of their family and identity two jobs that each person, including themselves does.

Charcoal Sketches in Y3

27th April 2018 H GROOM Leave a comment

This week Year 3 have been developing their knowledge of great artists by exploring the still life work of Wilhelm Kalf, Georges Braque and Pieter Claesz .

With each still life image, Year 3 used a range of questions to structure their discussions.

Why do you think the artist made it?
What can you see in the picture?
Which colours are used?
When do you think it was made?
How does the image make you feel?

With a final question of which image would you choose to have at home and why?

Year 3 then worked with charcoal in their sketch books to create still life sketches of peppers.

Have a look at some of the end results.

Jigsaw – Year 3

19th April 2018 Mrs N SIDHU Leave a comment

Yesterday the children began by paying a game in pairs. Each child had a card with a baby on it. 2 cards shared the same image. The children were asked to find their pair and sit with them. They were then asked to think about one thing that could happen to their baby while they turned into an adult.

In open my mind, the children were shown pictures of babies. The children were asked to their feelings about the pictures. They were then shown a couple of slides of mother and baby. The children were told that usually mothers look after the baby while it’s young, but often the males can also have an important role to play.

Tangrams in Year 3

28th March 2018 H GROOM Leave a comment

After learning more about 2D shapes, Year 3 put their knowledge to solving shape puzzles in the form of Tangrams. Tangrams are ancient Chinese puzzles where you create pictures from a set of 2D shapes.

The first challenge after naming all of the different shapes and their properties was to rebuild the square, it was a lot harder than you think!

The next challenge was to create an animal from the same pieces.

Can you recognise what Year 3 created?

“What I have enjoyed about Jigsaw so far is looking at differences and learning about different cultures.”

Carmen – Year 4

“My favourite lesson in Jigsaw was learning about differences. Having another friend in the class who is different to myself as she is from Africa. So I have learnt a lot about her background and that she can speak different languages.”

Selah – Year 5

“When I am using a computer and looking at the internet. I have learnt that I should not share personal information online.”

Selah – Year 5

“I can show someone I care for them by listening to them when they speak to me.”

Mia – Year 2

“I’m enjoying Jigsaw lessons because we learn about different things. I really like the chime when we can relax and clam down before doing our work”

Azaan – Year 2

“To be a good friend you have to say kind words to them and look after them when they fall over and hurt themselves. And always remember to share things with them”

Amelia – Year 1

“PHSE helps the children in our school by helping us to learn about other important things outside of school. In Jigsaw I have enjoyed learning about different cultures and that everyone is unique and that we get to learn about their cultures.”

Dhakiyah – Year 6

“I enjoy learning about different things. And knowing our rights, which I found out in my first lesson of Jigsaw. One of our rights is to get an education, which I didn’t know before. I also learnt about our responsibilities within school.”

International Week in Y3

23rd March 2018 H GROOM Leave a comment

Throughout International Week 2018, Year 3 have travelled across four of the seven continents. Each day the focus has been on a different continent and the children have carried out their own research to find out more about Europe, Asia, North America and Africa. This research has then informed recount writing in the style of a travel diary.

Year 3 have also shared artefacts from their own cultures and heritage. The children were very knowledgeable and were able to confidently present and explain what they had bought in.

Year 3’s art focus was on the Zimbabwean artist and illustrator Phillipa-Alyce Browne. After sketching an animal, Year 3 used a range of media to add bright, vibrant colours and traditional African patterns to their sketches.

” I liked Safety Week because I learnt about keeping safe near water and how to spot dangers.”

Mosara Year 3

” I know how to stay safe at home. I also learnt that you do not tell strangers where you live.”

Taisa Year 1

” It was lots of fun learning about staying safe. I learnt lots of new things – you can not have a Minecraft account if you are under 13 years of age.

Jigsaw – Year 3

15th March 2018 Mrs N SIDHU Leave a comment

Yesterday in Year 3 all the children and adults sat in a circle and went through the Calm Me script to prepare ourselves for learning.

In Connect us, the children played ‘Switch’. Statements were read out and children had to switch places if they agreed with any of them or had experienced anything similar.

In Tell me or show me, the children were shown a clip about bullying. They were asked what they would do if they knew someone who was been bullied.
