Class 3

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…

A huge well done to every member of Class 3 who put on a spectacular performance of their play on Monday and again twice on Tuesday! You sang beautifully and made everyone so proud, great acting Class 3! 
 

In Science, we have been learning about the parts of the hand. We used this knowledge to create our own bionic hands which we created from cardboard, string, elastic bands and straws. 

Some of our hands worked well to pick up objects. We had lots of fun creating them. 

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. 

Our new value for this half term is ‘courage’ something St Bernadette of Lourdes showed plenty of during her life, never giving up on her faith. 

This week during PE, we danced to songs we could do in unison, such as The Macarena, Cha Cha Slide and It's Time for Africa, before comparing with some older dance moves such as the Twist. 

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.
