How to Train your Dragon

Class 3 have gone dragon crazy this week as we have been using How To Train your Dragon to help us with our English learning as well as having fun with it in other areas of the curriculum too.  We all had a go at writing our own page of the Dragon Manual for either a dragon that we had seen or one that we created ourselves.  There were some very scary and creative ideas for dragons indeed!  


We then continued by learning about powerful adjectives, noun phrases and sentences with 3 ideas.  We put all these together in some excellent descriptions of the gruesome Vikings.  As always, there was excellent writing by everybody but a special 'Well Done' goes to our Wonderful Writers this week: Hollie, Megan, Natalie, Joshua, Lacey-Fae, Alexandra and Amelie. 








We enjoyed getting close and even riding some of the dragons ourselves with clever Green Screen Technology in Computing.








In music this week we have been developing our rhythm skills by repeating and practising different rhythms.  We used a game of 'cop, robber, thief' to help us play rhythms with different length notes and we even had a go at using the correct musical note symbols to record some of our rhythms.









Well done Class 3 for another GREAT week.

Wishing you all a happy and relaxing weekend,

Mrs McMillan
