Class Three

We have been learning about water resistance. To test our theories we have been exploring the idea of streamlining. We have learnt that large shapes experience more water resistance and so move more slowly through the water.

As part of our history topic we have been exploring WW11 artefacts. We have especially enjoyed trying on the gas masks, although we wouldn’t like to use one for real!

We have had fun on European languages day: taking part in quizzes to try and guess what languages we could hear. Creating posters about how learning a language can help our hearts and minds and learning the names of some new languages across the world.

In DT we are making toys using our sewing skills. We are using a blanket stitch to sew our toys together and a running stitch and cross stitch to add details to our designs.

Here you can see us practicing our skills. 

In science we have been learning about forces. We used 3 different sized balloons to test how much air resistance was acting against them. We found out that the largest balloon fell the slowest because there was more air resistance.

Building on their coding knowledge, the class decided to test the temperature in different parts of the school. Some created warnings using their Micro:bits if the temperature rise above a certain level. Very practical idea in the heat. 
 

Some examples of the children’s…

Well done to everyone in Class 1 and Class 2 in helping our team come second in the Athletics Tournament 

Training in some of our events for Sports Day

Revisiting  how Microbits work and creating simple code.

What a fantastic day exploring different areas of Science.

Programming robots, controlling a Mars rover, exploring fossils, getting hands on with modern technology such as heat cameras and manufacturing-a busy day! Even had time to become forensic investigators, solving a crime using different…

Our class took part in the spirited Arts competition this year.

The theme was ‘Living in a diverse world’. The children were tasked with identifying things that threaten to tear communities apart, and how we can combat them. 

Our Easter Service this year was written, directed and produced by the children in Class Three
