We have learnt about British designer W B Wilkinson who in 1853 came up with the idea of setting steel bands within concrete to make it much stronger. We looked at all the amazing concrete buildings that are around the world. We particularly liked the tallest bridge in the world which is found in…

We have been investigating which objects are magnetic in Science. We made predictions and then tested the objects using magnets. We now know that magnetic materials are iron, nickel, cobalt and steel. Non-magnetic materials are aluminium, copper, gold and silver. We loved investigating so much…

We have been learning about verbs in our Grammar lessons. Today we used this picture to find regular action verbs, irregular action verbs and verb phrases. We did this in pairs, it was a fun game.

Day 2 was bouldering, rock climbing and…

In Science we have been learning about Living things and their Habitats. 

We explored our grounds and collected a range of leaves. We identified which trees they were from and then categorised them with a range of questions. 

Our charcoal artwork is inspired by Lowry today. We have enjoyed creating these masterpieces using the skills we have practised such as blending. Our fingers were very messy! 

We have been learning about invertebrates and vertebrates in Science. We investigated the habitats around our school grounds and found lots of extra members of Anson! We then categorised them into vertebrates and invertebrates. Great hunting Class 3!
