Class 3

This afternoon we completed activities based on Roald Dahl books. We made ourselves human centipedes to race and follow wiggly lines, played ‘George’ says following actions that may have happened when George created his marvellous medicine, competed in a ‘hammer throw’, a Roald Dahl alphabet quiz…

Today the children played the minims, noticing how the pitch goes higher as they go up the staff. 
 

We have started our new Science topic all about light. 

We have investigated how light behaves on different materials. We loved having a dark classroom and the torches out. 

Our new English text is a story set in another culture. So far we have made a prediction about what may happen using clues from the front cover and blurb, created a story mountain to tell the story and contrasted the English version with the Egyptian one. We are excited to read more next week.

For our first PE lesson, we took our heart rate before exercise then after different types of exertion such as yoga, a jog and a sprint. We compared how it increased after some exercise and decreased after others and discussed why this was. 

Class 3 should all have come home with a chapter book today. This is their ‘Recommended read’ book they have chosen to read for pleasure. Whenever they finish and return it, they are welcome to swap for another one.
