Year 3 started a new topic all about 4 friends who wanted to get an apple from an apple tree. They listened to the story and made up mimes for each animal so that they could participate in the re-reading of it. They then had a look at which nouns were masculine and which feminine. They finished off the lesson with a matching activity – matching new vocabulary with pictures.
Year 3
Year 3 revised colours and agreement of the colours with nouns. They then used a given sentence structure to write a description of their own monster which they then drew according to their description.
Year 3 revised parts of the body and colours and sang Head,shoulders, knees and toes in French. They then were given a picture of a monster which they labelled with body parts, then colours. After that they worked with a partner to follow along with a description of a monster. They then worked out which monster was being described, was it the one they had in their books. To finish off they completed their monster pictures start last week.
Year 3, sang their head,shoulders,knees and toes song along with the actions. They also listened to the monster story again. They then revised body parts and colours which they then used to identify in sentences to draw a monster.
Year 3 did their weekly Head,shoulder,knees and toes French warmup. They then revised colours and the parts of the body by completing a matching activity on the whiteboard and then in their books. They then listened carefully to a story: Va’ t’en grand monstre vert,(Go big green monster) holding up colour cards and a part of the body that they recognised.
Year 3 started the lesson with singing, Head shoulders knees and toes in French. They then revised the main parts of the body. We then played battleships as a class, with the children drawing a face when they found the relevant part of the face.
Year 3 revised colours and parts of the body by singing Head, shoulders, knees and toes in French. They then labelled an image using parts of the body vocabulary. They also listened to a story about a monster. When they heard the name of a colour or a part of the body, they held up a card. They started to read a description of a monster to draw. They will continue with translating a few short descriptive sentences which they will then draw next week.
Today, the children revised the colours they learnt in Year 2. They recorded the colours after singing Head, shoulders, knees and toes which they thoroughly enjoyed especially as the music got faster and faster. They then sang the Rainbow Song.
This half term, the focus is on portraits and the main body parts. The children will learn about colours; will use their knowledge to draw faces and describe monsters. They will also guess who a character is from a description. They will then draw their own portrait by describing themselves using colours and body parts, hair colour and eye colour. They will then present their portraits to each other.
This week we started our new topic of Portraits. The children learnt the names of the parts of the body and had fun singing: Tête, Épaules, Genoux, Pieds | Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes in French.
