Year Three Learning Together

Over the course of this term we have been finding out about and researching the life of Henry VIII and his six wives. In ICT we have been using 2 create a story to write biographies about the king, and files made in the program can be saved in a format called flash. Mr Mills has published several of our stories to our community pages on the school website, but wanted to see whether we could use our blog to share the work we had done using this tool, and yes we can Here is one of the stories we made, our others can be found in our year group community gallery on our school website.

Now he knows how to do this, Mr Mills is looking forward to showing us how to do it, and to using 2 create to help us make slightly more complex stories.

We have just published our latest Podcast Episode.  A collection of acrostic poems, read aloud by students in our class.  We had great fun writing them, and were even more excited when we got to hear them.  Why not visit our podcast station, download them and listen for yourself.  Our Podcast Station is called the Buzz, and you can find it by following this link.

Mr Harrington, a teacher from Cefn Fforest Primary School listened to our Young Henry VIII poetry Podcast on 7^th November, and left us a message, and an acrostic of his own too.  This is what he said…

Great Acrostic Poems Year 3

Happy like a young Henry
Enjoyable like a lolly
Nourishing like fresh water
Rhyming like an ode
Youthful like a Year 3 pupils
