Class 3

Fr Neale and Worship council led a beautiful Mothering Sunday service this afternoon. Class 3 sang ‘My Lighthouse’ wonderfully to their families. We also invited our mothers and mother figures in for afternoon tea and crafts in the classroom, Thank you for joining us and we hope you have a lovely,…

Class 2 and 3 enjoyed a Boccia tournament against 2 of the other schools within our trust. They played an excellent game and came second place overall, well done to everyone who played, what excellent teamwork skills you showed. 
 

As we approach Easter, we have learnt more about the events of Holy Week and the emotions this may bring. We compared these to some of the emotions in the film ‘Inside Out’. We came up with ideas such as joy as Jesus rode into Jerusalem, sadness at his crucifixion on Good Friday and hope on Easter…

Today we worked in a group to sort landmarks of the UK into two groups, human or physical features. We then sorted features of our village in the same way. 
 

Don’t we all look marvellous in our costumes? Fantastic effort Class 3! You can see one of the activities we completed today on our Outdoor Classroom blog page. 
 

In Art, we have applied our skills to sketch our church. We thought hard about proportion as well as light and shade. We used a range of pencil types to create our artwork.

We have started our new Art and Design unit on Sketching.

Today we experimented with creating effects using different techniques. We used a range of pencils to see what effect they made too. 

During computing time, we continued our work with ‘Scratch’. Today we sequenced sounds to match the movements of our characters. We added in sounds like the crowd cheering when a footballer scored a goal and waves and bubbles to match an under the sea scene. 
 

The children have had their first run through of our Easter Play! A letter has been sent home detailing performance day and times as well as costumes. 
 

Our Music lessons next half term will focus on learning the songs. We can’t wait to perform it for you in just over a months…
