Class 3

We have been practising our sketching skills with our pencils. We have then applied them to our sketches of the Gherkin building in London. 

Year 3 used the teaching clocks to practise telling the time to the nearest 5 minutes during Maths. It was quite tricky at first so great perseverance Year 3! 
 

Today Class 3 used the musical instruments to help them with their composition skills, it sounded great! 
 

Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads, Stepdads, Grandads, Uncles and other special male role models in our lives, we hope you like your card and enjoy a special day. 

Well done to everyone who completed the half term homework activity, creating a model of a river. They look fantastic and it’s lovely to see the children be so creative with their design and materials, great effort Class 3! 
 

Today we have been taught by a member of our class who created a poster to explain all about igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. We then tested them to find out how they reacted to water and white vinegar. We also tested their durability and how hard they were by using golf tees to scratch…

Today was Mrs Chell’s last day, she is retiring after 43 years working in education! To celebrate, she treated every child in the school to an ice cream, thank you Mrs Chell and we look forward to seeing you popping in to visit us in the future! 
 

This afternoon we wrote cards with the definition for different river features eg meander or estuary. We then played a memory game to match the definitions up, in small groups. 
 

We have analysing the artwork of Richard and Judith Lang. They collect rubbish from the beach and create sculptures of sea creatures. 

We have designed and and created our own sculptures. We love them. 

The Year 4 children are still practising their times tables every day in preparation for their upcoming multiplication check. Today they played a new game where they rolled 2 dice and whatever numbers they landed on they multiplied together and had to work out the answer in 6 seconds! Fast maths…

Class 3 have been studying the music piece Yoyo and The Little Auk. We listened carefully to the music and created our own graphic notation to go with the piece. We then selected percussion instruments to create our own version of the music. 

Today we came to school dressed in red, white and blue for Victory in Europe day. We gathered as a school at our Memorial garden for a one minutes silence at noon, followed by a special prayer. 
In Class 3 we watched video clips from 1945 to show what celebrations were like in London 80 years…
