Year 3 around the world!

This term Year 3 you will be learning about different people and their beliefs. There are lots of places to find out about other places and other people. 3 Blue are learning about other places through the letters and information they get in their Flat Stanley packs and there are other ways as well. We'll name them in our lesson!

For this activity, we're going to use e-resources to find out information. We will learn to log in to our student accounts and then explore some of the resources.
The task will be to use the links and find out three interesting things things, related to people and their beliefs.

You need to write your information in sentences as a blog comment & include the links where you found your information. Good Luck!!

Last time we used another great site : KIDSCYBER

On the playground Brenna is having a good time meeting the real people in 3 Blue. Maybe they will teach her how to play handball, or show off their skipping skills.

Brenna quickly made friends with the other flat people in 3 Blue.
