Year 3
CROESO i BLWYDDYN TRI!
A very warm welcome to Year Three's classroom page. As a team, we are very excited to share the learning experiences of the pupils, important information and overviews of the contexts for learning.
Our new context for learning this term is 'Innovation Generation'. There will be lots of exciting learning opportunities. For example, to bring the curriculum to life, the pupils have experienced first hand the Year Three Great Garbage Patch.
In the following weeks, the pupils will be provided with opportunities to experience:
- Undertaking independent projects based on the circular economy e.g. eco art installations or products for enterprise and judging.
- Carrying out a STEM and enterprise challenge to reduce the impact of plastic waste
- Asking good questions and using their knowledge of what they know to support their learning through research on and offline
- Using measurements and statistics to collect waste data
- Contributing to deep and meaningful questions based on a variety of stimuli using visible thinking routines and Philosophy for Children sessions
- Understanding the impact of plastic on the food chain and knowing how to stay safe around waterways
- Developing a growing responsibility for the world and the effects humans may have on it
- Immersing themselves in real-life experiences; to include educational visits to rivers and seas
- Using their programing skills to navigate M Tinys to pick up waste and recycle it
- Creating and innnovating using new ideas, good risks and thinking flexibly
- Being curious and generating solutions to local and world problems, developing their skills to overcome challenges
