Class of 2021

We have been investigating arrays in our new maths topic of multiplication and division.  We wrote x facts to go with the arrays and some of us also showed the link between multiplication and repeated addition. We were very creative in choosing which objects we used to make our…

Today we read the book ‘The First Drawing’ which is all about the first art that humans made, using charcoal, in caves. We had a go at drawing our own animals from the Stone Age using charcoal. It was not easy as charcoal is very smudgy but we were very pleased with our pictures.

We have started our new class book - Stone Age Boy - which is all about a little boy who time travels to the Stone Age and meets a little girl there. Today we acted out some of the scenes where they meet. We then wrote down what we thought they might be thinking or saying to each other.

In our Stone Age topic, we are learning about the roles of historians and archaeologists and how they use evidence to find out about the past. Today we worked in groups to look through a bag of rubbish from one of the classes in school. Each group had a different bag and we were able to work out…

Our history topic this half-term is about the changes between the Stone Age and the Iron Age in Britain. Today we found out how vast the prehistoric period was, using a toilet roll!! Each sheet represented 5,000 years and we needed to open the whole toilet roll to show how far back the beginning…

Forget Santa’s eleven, in Year 3 we have been busily preparing for Christmas and the holidays! We have been making packaging in DT, cutting out gingerbread biscuits, creating 3-D Christmas shapes from nets, making cards and calendars. We’ve also fitted in a music concert, an online writing…

What a day of sports we have had! This afternoon was our last tennis session with Coach Reagan and we practised rallies! It was quite tricky to control the ball but we managed some mini-rallies and definitely improved by the end of the lesson. We had made a card for Reagan and he was really…

Today Coach Scott came into school and we had a fantastic session playing Christmas dodgeball.  We played Christmas Tree Freeze, Catch the Bauble and finally Rudolph Rescue. We all loved it!

Today our classroom was very busy (and a little bit messy!) as we investigating packaging by carefully pulling apart cardboard packages we brought from home! We were amazed that they were made from just ONE piece of card. We looked at the tabs that were needed so that the packaging could be glued…

In DT have been practising the skills that we need to make sandwiches. Today we practised spreading margarine and ate a slice of bread, butter and honey that we made ourselves!  We also used the bridge hold and the fork hold when we were cutting vegetables with sharp knives. We even used the…

As part of our new English topic, The Pied Piper of Hamelin, we have learn the beginning of Robert Browning's poem.  We hope you enjoy it!

We have started our new story - The Pied Piper of Hamelin - and today we thought about what activities the townsfolk would be doing before the rats came and then how things would have changed when they arrived.  We really got into character!
