Spanish fun in Year 3

This term have been learning Spanish vocabulary linked to different body parts and starting to learn about masculine, feminine, singular and plural nouns in Spanish and their determiners. To practise the vocabulary thoroughly, we have sung songs, played games like Beat The Teacher and Simon Says and have done lots of speaking and listening activities.

Year 3 Spanish - los numeros

Year 3 spent last term focusing on learning their Spanish numbers; they played lots of fun interactive games to help practice a variety of skills - Bingo for listening, Mindreaders for reading and speaking and Tracing Time for their writing skills.

Our first Linguascope certificate of the year!

Did you know that when you are doing your online language learning using Linguascope, you can take a short test on the vocabulary topic to assess your reading, listening and writing skills? 

It's a great way to see how well you recognise the new vocabulary, and once completed you can generate a certificate to show your score and the words you have been learning. You can take tests in all the languages, by clicking on the second to last box on the activities page.

Mrs Seaton loves to see your additional learning so if you can print the certificate yourself, bring it in to show her! Or you can always email it into the school address for the attention of Mrs Seaton and she'll get to see it there!

Here's an example of one certificate belongs to a superstar linguist from our school!

Year 3 Music - the art of Foley

Year 3 have linked their music to their text, The Iron Man, this term.

They have been learning about the art of 'Foley', adding sound effects to a film - sometimes by using weird and wonderful objects.  Learn more about Foley here.

Can you think off a way of recreating the sound of an Iron Man lifting his enormous Iron Arm?

¿Qué hay en Bannockburn? Year 3 Spanish vocab hunt around Manor Way

This week in Spanish Year 3 took part in a vocabulary hunt around the Manor Way site. The Spanish clues were in different locations around the Manor Way site for example el estudio, el campo de fútbol, la sala de música and la oficina de los directores. 

Once we worked out which location to visit, there we would find a Spanish noun phrase to add to our vocabulary sheet such as un horno, una batería, unos carillones and unas combas. 

Then we used our completed sheets to build sentences using our key verb of this term "hay" which means 'there is' or 'there are' for example

En la cocina hay un horno.

En el campo de fútbol hay unas porterías.

En la sala de música hay uno carillones.

En los cobertizos hay una combas.

It was a great opportunity to learn outside of the classroom walls and we had a brilliant time!
