Year 3: Around the World in 80 Days (key text by Jules Verne)
It has been an adventurous start back to school for Year Three! The children have been whisked off on an exciting adventure around the world in 80 days. When the children arrived at school they dived straight into looking at places around the world and finding rhyming words to go with them to write their very own poems int eh style of Pie Corbett’s 'A Chance in France'. They carried out some research and used Google Earth to look at the earth and discovered some interesting facts; did you know that 70% of the earth’s surface is covered in water? This inspired the children to create their own planet earth using balloons and paper maché. They began their class text for the term and have been getting to know the main character Phileas Fogg and some of his character traits.
