Class 3

Class 3 have enjoyed some outdoor learning as part of our transition getting ready for September. We did some gardening, created natural pieces of artwork, did some building and created dances on the stage. We also enjoyed a story together. 

This morning we have been practising our races for Sports Day. 
 

To finish our shape work, we made of own 3d shapes using tiny sticks and play doh. They were easier to describe when we were holding them in our hands!

We have set up a Science investigation to see how plants manage when we remove one of the conditions that they need to grow. We will observe the plants over the coming days to see what happens. 

We have been active on the playground learning our times tables. Lots of great designs class 3! 

Our new History topic is The Stone Age. We have started by exploring new vocabulary and defining the words archaeologist, palaeontologist and geneticist. Their roles are vital to learn about pre historic Britain with so few artefacts remaining and no first hand written accounts. 

This half term we will be learning about a more recent saint; Saint Teresa. Our new value is ‘peace’ something Saint Teresa demonstrated so well, it earnt her the Nobel Peace Prize. 

Class 3 have been reading at home so much this term, especially during the holidays. Congratulations to this weeks raffle winner - enjoy your new book! 

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,…
