This week, year 3 have moved through case study 1 to investigate rocks. Children given a range of different rocks to look and sort using their properties. We were also lucky to have a huge box of fossils to look at thanks to Mrs Gill.
After spending the past 5 weeks learning everything there is to know about fractions in maths, 3HJ are definitely experts, especially in adding and subtracting fractions. Children supported each other today in completing a treasure hunt with high levels of accuracy. Well done guys!
Yesterday, year 3 erupted the wonderful volcanoes that were made in hook week. To make the volcanoes we screwed up newspaper to build the shape and then used papier mache to cover it with layers of newspaper and paper towels. Finally, we pained the and Miss Gate used vinegar and baking powder to create the eruption! What a brilliant afternoon!
To celebrate the coronation of King Charles III, year 3 had a very special recorder lesson this morning. We all gathered together in the hall to learn a number of royal coronation themed music and learn all about how music is used within the royal palaces.
This week, two teams made their way to Campsmount Academy to take part in a tag rugby tournament for year 3/4 and 5/6. Both teams played well, showing speed, agility and plenty of teamwork.
Notable mentions to Charlie in year 4 and Reggie in year 6 for their impressive performances and leadership during the tournament.
Yesterday, LKS2 embarked on an exciting field trip to Magna Science Adventure Centre where we had an amazing experience for our pupils building background knowledge for our new expedition – Earth Shattering Events. During the day we explored the elements of earth, wind, fire and water with a highlight of watching the fire tornado. All children were an asset to our school and behaved perfectly.🔥🌎💦💨
During the Easter holidays, year 3 children were given the opportunity to take part in a 3 day intensive ballet workshop at XP school. During this time, children took part in choreographing a dance which was performed with 4 other schools for parents. The children represented our school beautifully and both myself and Miss Gate were given lovely feedback! What an achievement!
Today, we welcomed back all of our children from what was hopefully a lovely Easter break! In Year 4, we will be spending this week immersing ourselves into our new expedition! This term’s expedition, is called ‘Earth Shattering Events’ with the Guiding Question of, ‘What Happens When Nature Strikes!?’. In this expedition, we will be learing all about the natural phenomena which is found on our planet. The children began this learning by creating posters which highlight some of the natural disasters and landforms that can strike upon our planet. Lovely start to the expedition!
What an amazing afternoon we had at our Celebration of Learning event showcasing our fabulous learning of our expedition The Power Of Life: What Fuels Us? The children were immensely proud of the work they produced throughout this spring term and thoroughly enjoyed sharing it with parents and carers through our presentation, circuit activities and singing. Huge thinks to all those who attended.
After working hard all term, Mrs Jenkins and thought the children deserved to end the spring term with a treat day. We started the day with some Easter crafts, making Easter wreaths.
We continued our treat day with some baking. We all made Easter nests topped with chocolate bunnies, jelly carrots, mini eggs and fluffy chicks.
To finish the day off we had very special visit from the Easter Bunny which resulted in an easter egg hunt around school where every child got to find their own Cadburys Creme Egg.
A massive thank you to all parents and carers for your amazing support during the spring term. Have a lovely Easter break and see you in the summer term!
