First day back in 3B

Happy New Year! 3B have had an amazing start to first week back.

Shoutout to those children who made a special effort to dress up as a robot for the occasion. We spent the morning in our crews completing some activities to hook the children into the learning for our new expedition this term. These activities included investigating the internal organs, skeleton and muscles using AI and interactive games; classifying robots; making electronic circuits and cutting and sticking robots and skeletons.

Children were given a word at the end of each workshop to workout our new guiding question: The power of life: What makes us human?

As reward for solving the puzzle and in preparation for Friday’s learning, we spent the afternoon watching the film Robots.

The children are all hooked in and excited to learn more.

Are we human or are we robots?

Years 3 and 4 had an exciting hook day today for their new expedition. Many dressed up as robots and the effort from those who made their own costumes was exceptional! Well done and thank you parents who I’m sure would have lent a helping hand with these!

We couldn’t guess his name so look at the chaos he caused!

3H have been trying to guess the name of their class elf for the last few weeks. They were convinced it was Haycock Junior as he tormented them as much as I do but unfortunately they failed in their guess, so he caused pure destruction on the final day of term. He did find a moment of niceness though when he stuffed our fake grenades with yummy chocolate…thank you Icerink and well done to Sienna for working out where he had hidden the chocolate from the clues he left us!

We hope to see Icerink and his army of elves, who kept multiplying during the final day, next year. We wonder if he could go back to elf school though because his spelling is absolutely atrocious and we would love to know how one elf became two, then three and finally four…our minds were blown and the excitement kept building!

Have a wonderful break everyone, you deserve it! Keep safe, be happy and have fun! I look forward to seeing you all safe and sound in 2025!

Party fun in Y3

Year 3 had a great time celebrating the end of a long and difficult term. Everyone has worked so hard and every pupil needs to feel pride for the achievements they have fulfilled. We hope you all have a wonderful two weeks rest and for those who celebrate it, we wish you all a wonderful Christmas too!

Celebration of Learning

Last week, Year 3 and 4 showcased their hard work over the last term at the Celebration of Learning. Well done for showing resilience, bravery and compassion. Thank you to everyone who came to visit and purchased art work.

We are amazing artists!

We have been working really hard in Years 3 and 4 to produce portraits of our key artist: Henry Moore. Just look at this beautiful work to be proud of…

Every child needs to be proud of their achievements this week. I hope they take on their next artistic challenge of working with the media that Moore had available to him during World War Two with as much enthusiasm and support for each other as they have over the last few days…true crew!

We are artists!

We have been using the skills that we have been building up recently to sketch a portrait of our key artist: Henry Moore. Our skills of observation and proportion have improved dramatically and I cannot wait to see the finished portraits later this week!

Keep looking carefully and working hard everyone. Your artwork is fabulous!

We are getting quicker!

Dictionary use has been a challenge to say the least! However, with regular practise, and a little bit of healthy competition, we are now becoming so much quicker at finding our key Speedy Reading words!

Well done 3H, you’re working so hard!

We Care Wednesday: Friendship

We have been thinking really carefully about what makes a good friend during our We Care Wednesday Crew sessions. We have thought about friendships such as Shrek and Donkey; R2D2 and C3PO; and Woody and Buzz. We considered how we knew that they were friends and what they would do if they ever had a falling out. Then we thought about our own friendships and how we could react or respond to our friends if we ever fall out.

Well done everyone, let’s look after each other and do all we can to support and care for each other.
