For World Book Day 2015 we looked at the Roald Dahl story "Fantastic Mr Fox".

We had a 10 step challenge day!!  We were given a checklist with 10 activities on them.  All of them were related to the story.

The first challenge was to make a story telling prop!!! We made foxy ears, foxy tails, carts to transport the food to the feast and even a giant tractor!!

Our second challenge was to create a set of characters from the story.  Look out for Mr Fox, Mrs Fox, Badger, Bunce, Boggis and Bean.

We had a go at being an author and wrote our own chapter for the story!!  Mr Fox had another cunning plan!

We used laptops to create our own designs for a new book cover.  

We did some character profiling and made our own books.

We tested our knowledge of the story with some Roald Dahl brainbox cards.  

We had a go at illustrating in the style of Quentin Blake.  The results were amazing.  We even suprised ourselves!

We had a fantastic World Book Day.  We even got to make bread and prepare fruit for a great feast and watch a short animation by Roald Dahl and Quentin Blake called "Revolting Rhymes".

We love Fantastic Mr Fox.

Marketing for enterprise week

We needed to advertise our products to get people to buy them.

Enterprise Week - finding out about jobs

We were lucky to have some parents come in to talk about their jobs. Thank you parents for sharing with us what you do. It was very interesting to hear about what you do.

 Looking at different pig food.

 Finding out about oil.

 Being put through our paces trying out an army drill. Look how smart you all look Year 3!

Enterprise Week

We visited Tesco to find out about the jobs within Tescos. We also found out about how Tesco work towards recycling and reusing items in order to reduce the waste they create. We were lucky to be given a tour about the store and saw what is behind the scenes at Tesco. 

Enterprise Week

In Year 3 we developed our printing skills when making the notebooks we sold at the enterprise market.

The printing blocks were made from polystyrene from pizza bases. We recycled the scrap paper from our class to make the insides of the notebooks.

Flugtag competition!

We had our own Flugtag competition! We designed, made and tested our own flying machines to which one would fly the furthest. We made sure it was a fair test in the competition by checking the starting point was the same and only changing the plane. We used our measuring skills to measure and compare distances. 

Finn's plane went the furthest!
