Novel Study
This half term we are reading and writing using our novel 'Varjak Paw' written by S F Said.
This cat must learn to fight! Varjak Paw is a Mesopotamian Blue kitten. He lives high up in an old house on a hill. He's never left home, but then his grandfather tells him about the Way - a secret martial art for cats.
'There are Seven Skills in the way of Jalal,' whispered the Elder Paw. 'We know only three of them. Their names are these. Slow-Time. Moving Circles. Shadow-walking.'
Now Varjak must use the Way to survive in a city full of dangerous dogs, cat gangs and, strangest of all, the mysterious Vanishings.

Our learning focus this half term is:
Magnets and Forces
Children will observe that magnetic forces can act without direct contact, unlike most forces, where direct contact is necessary (for example, opening a door, pushing a swing)
Children will compare how different things move and group them; raising questions and carrying out tests to find out how far things move on different surfaces, and gathering and recording data to find answers to their questions.
Children will explore and sort materials into those that are magnetic and those that are not.
Padlet
The children in Lobster Year 3 love to read and talk about the books they have read. Below is the link to the 'Mevagissey's Marvellous Padlet' where the children can also add their comments about their favourite books.
