YR3 Parakeet Class News @FP
In Parakeet class @FP, we have been reading the book ‘Eat your Peas’ by Kes Gray and Nick Sharratt in Parakeet Class. This week we have been tasked with writing our own persuasive letters. We looked at arguments for eating peas and made up some funny ideas of our own. We then thought of ways to persuade Daisy to eat her peas and had a lot of fun doing so! Wouldn’t you eat your peas for a brand-new bike and a chocolate factory of your own? We then went on to write a letter to Daisy and they turned out very persuasive. I know I will be eating my peas for the foreseeable future!
This week we have been learning how to measure in cm, mm and metres. We have looked at what would be most appropriate for different objects. We have been looking at equivalent lengths and how to add and subtract lengths. We have also measured things ourselves to get lots of practise in!
In DT we have been trying to make our own pyramids to link with our history topic on Ancient Egypt. We have looked at pyramid nets and experimented with different materials to make our pyramids stronger.
