Class 3

Fr Neale joined us for our RE lesson today! He came to answer our questions about the role of a vicar. He answered things such as:

What do you do on a Tuesday when church is closed?

Why did you become a vicar?

Did you receive a calling to change careers?

What is your most/least…

Recently during computing lessons we have been using an app called Scratch, to programme a sprite to move across the screen in different ways. This week we have created a few short animations such as a giraffe eating leaves from a tree and a dancing unicorn at a party! 
 

In Science, we have been learning about insulators and conductors. We investigated materials in a circuit, such as wood, copper, foil and glass. We then created our own switches using materials we knew were conductors. We were really pleased when the bulb lit up. 

Last week we learnt about the Anglo Saxon boat that was discovered at Sutton Hoo in 1939. We read lots of information about it and discussed how it may have got there and how the condition of the soil preserved it so well, making it one of the most exciting hoards ever found. This afternoon we…

We have been learning about electricity. We created our own circuits and understand that in order for electricity to flow, there can't be a break in the circuit. We explored this by creating a human circuit which lit up our energy stick. We were very impressed. 

Today we created movements as different animals during our Dance lesson in PE. Can you guess which animals we are?

Class 3 have loved starting their gymnastics lessons today. Lots of floor work was covered. They will transfer their skills to apparatus soon. 

What an incredible afternoon and evening we had at Young Voices. The children were a joy to take on the trip and they sang beautiful. I am very proud of them all! Mrs Walmsley 

Today we looked at the Gospel story of Jesus asking Peter and Andrew to cast aside their nets at the lake and become ‘fishers for men’ instead. Jesus asked them to leave their own belongings behind and follow him, spreading the message of the Gospels to allow more people to follow him. The two…

We enjoyed playing with our toys today to celebrate the end of a busy Autumn term. Den building was very popular in Class 3! We hope you have a wonderful Christmas and look forward to welcoming you back on Monday 5th January. 
 

We have had a delicious Christmas lunch followed by singing 'The Twelve Days of Christmas!'. We then had party games with lots of music, dancing and some more food in class. What a lovely day! 

We have been investigating magnetic fields in Science. We placed magnets under a piece of paper and then sprinkled some iron filings onto the paper. The filings created patterns when they attracted or repelled. This was lots of fun to see and we know much more about magnetic fields…
