Year 3 - No Pen Day

Date: 8th Apr 2025 @ 8:13pm

Today, we celebrated our No Pen Morning by having a fantastic oracy lesson! We focused on the importance of listening and joining in when we're having discussions. We even recapped our amazing strategies like agreeing, building on someone else’s ideas, and challenging answers respectfully. We also shared the different roles we can take, like being the instigator who starts the conversation, the prober who asks questions, and the summariser who wraps it all up nicely. One of our fun activities was figuring out which objects were the odd one out and spotting similarities and differences—lots of great discussions were had! In Maths, we learned about volume and capacity. We measured different containers to see how much they could hold, ordering them from least to most. We discovered that some looked different but held the same amount of water, so we poured from one to the other! We even tackled some tricky capacity statements, working out intervals and volumes of jugs. What a brilliant day!
