Class 3

During computing time, we continued our work with ‘Scratch’. Today we sequenced sounds to match the movements of our characters. We added in sounds like the crowd cheering when a footballer scored a goal and waves and bubbles to match an under the sea scene. 
 

The children have had their first run through of our Easter Play! A letter has been sent home detailing performance day and times as well as costumes. 
 

Our Music lessons next half term will focus on learning the songs. We can’t wait to perform it for you in just over a months…

The theme for Children's Mental Health Week 2026 is 'This is My Place', and the aim is to support the systems around children and young people to help them feel they belong.

Each child in class 3 shared how they feel they belong. They then designed a card all about them explaining the things…

We have had a terrific time at Tamworth Castle. We had a tour of the castle and a close view of the Staffordshire Hoard. We saw how the castle had changed over time as we wandered through the rooms. We dressed as Saxon warriors and imagined an enemy tribe approaching as we took in the view from…

Today we used ingredients very similar to what the Anglo Saxons would have had available to bake and decorate shortbread. The only flavouring was the honey and the only decoration was using a fork to make patterns. The Anglo Saxons ate very simple foods, things they could hunt or forage for but…

Fr Neale joined us for our RE lesson today! He came to answer our questions about the role of a vicar. He answered things such as:

What do you do on a Tuesday when church is closed?

Why did you become a vicar?

Did you receive a calling to change careers?

What is your most/least…

Recently during computing lessons we have been using an app called Scratch, to programme a sprite to move across the screen in different ways. This week we have created a few short animations such as a giraffe eating leaves from a tree and a dancing unicorn at a party! 
 

In Science, we have been learning about insulators and conductors. We investigated materials in a circuit, such as wood, copper, foil and glass. We then created our own switches using materials we knew were conductors. We were really pleased when the bulb lit up. 

Last week we learnt about the Anglo Saxon boat that was discovered at Sutton Hoo in 1939. We read lots of information about it and discussed how it may have got there and how the condition of the soil preserved it so well, making it one of the most exciting hoards ever found. This afternoon we…

We have been learning about electricity. We created our own circuits and understand that in order for electricity to flow, there can't be a break in the circuit. We explored this by creating a human circuit which lit up our energy stick. We were very impressed. 

Today we created movements as different animals during our Dance lesson in PE. Can you guess which animals we are?

Class 3 have loved starting their gymnastics lessons today. Lots of floor work was covered. They will transfer their skills to apparatus soon.
