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. 

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. 

We have been investigating how light travels in straight lines. It reflects off a mirror according to the law of reflection. We found some darker areas in the classroom to complete this investigation before drawing and labelling our diagrams. 

Today we did some 'noticing' outside. We reflected on what we were grateful for, what had stood out in our day, where we had been our best selves and any small changes we could make to balance our lives.  

As we reflected, some greenflies and a caterpillar came to greet us. We felt very…

We have started our Art unit on Sculptures today. We looked at the artist Andy Goldsworthy and how he uses materials found in nature to create his art pieces. We created our own pieces of art work in his style by exploring our school grounds. 

We have been learning about seasonal British vegetables in Design and Technology. We have created stuffed peppers with the ingredients of rice, peas, courgette and some herbs. The skills we developed were grating cheese and chopping with a knife. We all tried our stuffed peppers and reflected on…

We enjoyed eating the jam tarts, that we made in Design and Technology, in the sunshine. Mrs Walmsley read a book called ‘Shh! We have a Plan’ by Chris Haughton. We enjoyed our relaxing time together. 

As part of our Design and Technology learning, we have made jam tarts today. We used the skill of rolling to roll the pastry and then used the pastry cutters to cut them out. We carefully placed some jam in the middle of them before placing a star on the top. We have learnt about how seasonal…

We have been investigating the effects of different drinks on our teeth. We submerged eggs (their shell has similar properties to the enamel on our teeth) into different liquids. We tested; water, milk, orange juice, sugar free coke, coke and vinegar. After 2 days we were amazed to see the effects…

In Science, we have been exploring herbivores, omnivores and carnivores. We have reflected on what their faeces looks like once they have digested their food. We created our own animal scats today using oats, cocoa powder and water. It was very messy but we now understand lots about faeces and how…

Wow - we are so proud of the performance by Class 3, in our Easter play of The Tale of Three Trees. 

Your singing and acting was incredible. Each and every one of you shone on the stage. A very well done! We hope you all loved it!
