Class 3

Whilst studying different poetry skills this week, we have looked at the use of similes and ,metaphors. We had a go at describing ourselves using these 2 skills. Can you guess which child each short poem is describing? 

The children have worked together in French to write their weather report. They chose a city from the map of France and used a model to prepare their weather forecast, practising the weather expressions they have been learning this half term. Super work, Bon travail!

Today some children started work with Money in Maths. We used replica coins to count how much we had in total for each question, then found different ways to make the same amount. 
 

During our Geography lesson, we worked in table groups to come up with a list of amenities we think our village lacks. We have created a questionnaire to complete at home, to ask other people to give their opinion. We will use the results next week to create a new sketch map of Great Haywood,…

Class 3 have been working hard in a Times Table Rock Stars tournament this weekend. 

We have 3 winners - well done! Great times table work! 

We have just read about a terrifying creature in our Iron Man story, the Space-Bat-Angel-Dragon. During our Whole Class Reading session today, we used our visualisation skills to draw what we imagine the creature to look like, using evidence from the text. 
 

In art, we have been learning how to create a watercolour wash to look like water. We used our big brushes for this and thought hard about the shadows. 

We then added a detailed tree into our picture using a small brush. 

We did lots of colour mixing in our palette. 

Today we had our afternoon brain break outside on the Trim Trail, to make the most of this beautiful weather. 
 

Our school value this half term is ‘compassion’. We talked about how St Maximilian Kolbe showed this during his life helping the poor and sick. We also shared two Bible stories showing compassion; The Good Samaritan and Jesus helps the leper. 

Our Geography topic this half term is a local study, so this morning we completed a transport survey of how people travel to Great Haywood. 

Today we started our Art and Design unit today using watercolours. We explored primary and secondary colours with some colour mixing. We then looked at tints and shades and created lighter and darker colours. 

This week in computing, we have been using closed questions with an answer of only ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to sort objects using a branching database. We practised with different objects such as food or plants. Our challenge was to sort at least 8 dinosaurs, we had to look very carefully at their features…
