Class Three

The children loved making their own Christingles, in preparation for the Christingle Service on Monday this week. 

As part of our computing unit on video, children worked in small groups to experiment with different filming techniques. They created short videos which explored the use of different camera angles; close ups, medium and long distance shots and moving subjects.

They all had great fun producing…

In Art this term, we are looking at the portrayal of Space through different mediums, including painting, pencil drawing, photo and computer generated images.

We began by sorting the different images and then had a go at recreating them through sketching this week.

Children have been working hard on finding the factors of numbers: to support this learning, we used cubes to show different arrays to make the same amount.

Thank you to all Class 3 parents who came along to ‘Rock up and Read’ on Friday 10th November! It’s always nice for the children to have this time with an adult from home and as you can see from the pictures, they also particularly enjoyed the chocolate snacks!

This week, we were working on a poetry unit about war. We looked at at two different poems; ‘Dulce et decorum est’ and ‘The Soldier’. 

We focussed on how the language features within the poems create imagery for the reader. We looked at the use of adjectives, similes and metaphors in particular…

Today was the final stage of our DT project, making a stuffed toy. 

The children really enjoyed this and produced some brilliant work. However, I was most impressed by the way that they all helped each other! There were some who found the sewing task quite tricky (including me!) but with the…

In English this week, we were working on writing newspaper reports about the discovery of Anne Frank’s diary. In preparation for this, children looked at examples of newspapers and picked out the common key features. They then used these to inform their own plan.

Keep an eye out for the…

We had great fun this afternoon in Class 3, making our parachutes to investigate air resistance. We were trying to find out the effect of surface area on the amount of air resistance produced. 

There are some good action shots!

This afternoon, children have been working hard on their new DT project to design and make a soft toy. We looked at some existing products and discussed the way they had been made and how we could recreate them. 

Children then came up with some designs of their own before selecting Their final…

Children enjoyed our PE session this afternoon, which was focussed on learning ‘skills and tricks’ with equipment that could be used at play and lunchtime. 

Over the next week, children in Class 3 will have the chance to become play leaders. This role will require them to work with younger…

Today, we have been using the Newton meters in class 3 to make links between the mass (g) and weight (n) of objects. The children had fun using the equipment and were able to make scientific conclusions based on their findings.
