What a week we have had in Year 3!
We have enjoyed looking in more detail at ‘somebody swallowed Stanley’ focusing on similes. We have also been consolidating our column subtraction knowledge, learning about sustainability, including looking at mini models, performing our own raps which we composed on Shrove Tuesday and even dressed up for World Book Day!
Have a look at some of the things we got up to.
As part of English and topic, Year 3 are looking at how we can look after our planet.
Today, we read the story ‘someone swallowed Stanley’ and made our own kites out of old plastic bags. We had so much fun flying them at breaktime!
Les Herissons (and all of Year 3) have loved learning about the Ancient Egyptians.
Look at these amazing non-chronological reports they have produced in writing!
They have so much knowledge and we are all so proud of them.
The upper KS2 performance club treated staff and parents to a live performance after school today.
They showcased their hard work from this half term, presenting the song ‘a little circus’.
Their singing and choreography was amazing! We are very proud of their efforts.
Thank you to Miss Graham for using her talents to inspire our mini actors/actresses!
Today we looked at what our bodies need in order to survive. As part of this, we looked at the Eatwell plate and grouped foods into the correct groups.
We learnt that animals, including humans, need the right types and amount of nutrition and that they cannot make their own food; they get nutrition from what they eat.
Year 3 enjoyed learning about garden birds this morning. Many of them said they found it relaxing to listen to birdsong while they sketched and bird watched. Here are a few photos.
In Mandarin this week, Year 5 looked at the Chinese New Year celebrations.
They enjoyed recreating the traditional dragon dance and exploring other festivities.
Year 3 are enjoying learning about the Ancient Egyptians.
We learnt about artefacts and tried to use our knowledge of hieroglyphics to help us look at the artefacts in detail!
We had a wonderful Christmas dinner today and wore the hats we made for morning work. Thank you to the school cooks!
Year 3 went to the cathedral today for an advent/nativity experience. We learnt all about Isaiah, Mary, Joseph, shepherds and the kings. The children were safe, ready and respectful and enjoyed dressing up, doing craft and seeing different items.
