this week in literacy 3D have been listling to the story Theseus and the Minotaur.
After we listened to Theseus and the Minotaur we did a description of the setting the charaters
and the main events of the myth. I enjoyed it. I also think the class enjoyed it.
my favourite bit was when Theseus ripped of the Minotaur`s head. In the other version
Theseus stabbed the Minotaur. The Minotaur lives in a dark foggey dank maze.

Theseus and the Minotaur
This week we have read another book about myths and legends, the book is called Theseus and
the Minotaur. In the book there is a maze that is called the Labyrinth. The Labyrinth is the home of a monster called the Minotaur. The Minotaur is
half man half bull. We learnt that that the Minotaur eat
seven young men and seven young women each year.
Then in literacy we had to describe the Labyrinth
and we found out that the maze is not made out
of hedges it is made out of hedges it is made out of
cold stone.
Myths and legends are not true, they are told in
loads of different ways.

Magnets
This week in science year 3 have been learning about magnets.
Miss Willers said to us that she wanted to put a picture on her fridge with her fridge magnet but it would not attract to the fridge.
But Miss Willers asks her friend she said you have to get a bigger magnet but Miss Willers did not want to spend her money.
So she asked us to do an experiment on it.
So we had a big magnet, a medium magnet,a small magnet.
Then we got some paper clips and put them together the result for the big magnet was 164.
The result for the medium magnet was 65.
The result for the small magnet was 44.

Harvest time!
This week in 3f we have been working on a pumpkin poem. We wrote it on paper and when we finished we learnt that every line starts with a capatail letter.For example:
One day I found some pumpkin seeds
I planted one and pulled the weeds.
The reason we have been working on this is because its harvest time.
Harvest time is all about giving and sharing food. By 3f

Pumpkin Poems
This week year 3 have been working on Pumpkin Poems they had a lot of fun.
What they did is they got some paper and write the poem up.
Then they coloured it in .
Then Mr Molloy took some children out and practised it.
On Friday the children acted the Pumpkin Poem out in good works.
It was very good.
This is it.
One day I found some pumpkin seeds,
I planted one and pulled the weeds.
It sprouted roots and a big long vine.
A pumpkin grew I called it mine.
The pumpkin was quiet round and fat.
I'm really quiet proud of that!
But there is something that I ll admit
that has me worried just a bit.
I ate the other seed you see
now will it grow inside of me?
[I'm so relieved since I have found
that pumpkins only grow in the ground]
