Class 3

Class 3 have been working hard in a Times Table Rock Stars tournament this weekend. 

We have 3 winners - well done! Great times table work! 

We have just read about a terrifying creature in our Iron Man story, the Space-Bat-Angel-Dragon. During our Whole Class Reading session today, we used our visualisation skills to draw what we imagine the creature to look like, using evidence from the text. 
 

In art, we have been learning how to create a watercolour wash to look like water. We used our big brushes for this and thought hard about the shadows. 

We then added a detailed tree into our picture using a small brush. 

We did lots of colour mixing in our palette. 

Today we had our afternoon brain break outside on the Trim Trail, to make the most of this beautiful weather. 
 

Our school value this half term is ‘compassion’. We talked about how St Maximilian Kolbe showed this during his life helping the poor and sick. We also shared two Bible stories showing compassion; The Good Samaritan and Jesus helps the leper. 

Our Geography topic this half term is a local study, so this morning we completed a transport survey of how people travel to Great Haywood. 

Today we started our Art and Design unit today using watercolours. We explored primary and secondary colours with some colour mixing. We then looked at tints and shades and created lighter and darker colours. 

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.
