Class 3

Our new English text is a story set in another culture. So far we have made a prediction about what may happen using clues from the front cover and blurb, created a story mountain to tell the story and contrasted the English version with the Egyptian one. We are excited to read more next week.

For our first PE lesson, we took our heart rate before exercise then after different types of exertion such as yoga, a jog and a sprint. We compared how it increased after some exercise and decreased after others and discussed why this was. 

Class 3 should all have come home with a chapter book today. This is their ‘Recommended read’ book they have chosen to read for pleasure. Whenever they finish and return it, they are welcome to swap for another one. 

As we approach the end of the school year, we are looking forward to new learning in September. Can you guess what Class 3 will be learning about in History when they return to school? 
 

This afternoon we finished our History topic by creating some beautiful pictures of prehistoric cave drawings. These were usually of geometric patterns, animals or people made using charcoal and red ochre. 
 

We looked at photographs of artefacts from the Bronze Age today and found different ways to group them, such as by material, use or shape. We were able to figure out what each object was used for, who knew they used tweezers! 
 

We ended the week with a transition afternoon. Year 2 and 3 created their own backgrounds with watercolour paints then wrote facts about themselves in their neatest writing. It was a lovely way to re introduce ourselves after a year in different classes! These will make a lovely display in our…

This week we have been comparing the qualities of different materials we could use to create a miniature greenhouse. We planned which materials would make a strong, square structure and then which transparent materials would be suitable for the windows. We then worked in small groups, following…

Today we used the small clocks to practise telling the time to the nearest 5 minutes. 
 

Class 3 have enjoyed some outdoor learning as part of our transition getting ready for September. We did some gardening, created natural pieces of artwork, did some building and created dances on the stage. We also enjoyed a story together. 

This morning we have been practising our races for Sports Day. 
 

To finish our shape work, we made of own 3d shapes using tiny sticks and play doh. They were easier to describe when we were holding them in our hands!
