Class 3

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.

We have had a terrific time at Tamworth Castle. We had a tour of the castle and a close view of the Staffordshire Hoard. We saw how the castle had changed over time as we wandered through the rooms. We dressed as Saxon warriors and imagined an enemy tribe approaching as we took in the view from…

Today we used ingredients very similar to what the Anglo Saxons would have had available to bake and decorate shortbread. The only flavouring was the honey and the only decoration was using a fork to make patterns. The Anglo Saxons ate very simple foods, things they could hunt or forage for but…

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:

Why did you become a vicar?

Did you receive a calling to change careers?
