As part of our learning last week, we have been learning all about Amelia Earhart and the world of aviation. We looked at how flying came to be. Beginning with Leonardo Di Vinciās āFlying Machineā. We explored how fast technological developments have been made. We made our own timeline for our display which shows when we were born up to the present day. We will keep adding to this as we go along!

When we arrived into school a mysterious suitcase had been left in our classroom. It had different items inside to show us where this person was going. But then we found a letter and a book inside; from Emma-Jane! Who our story is about! We then read her story and she visited some of the big landmarks around the globe.
We then designed our own post cards to show the place we most wanted to visit!

Better late than never!
To introduce our new topic, North, East, South, West, we opened up our own Plover Airport. As part of our experience day in 1CR we designed our very own passport for our upcoming adventures and talked about what our dream destinations are! We learned about our personal information and why it is important to know it.
We then had Mrs. Malik as an expert. Mrs. Malik worked in the aviation industry for a number of years in all different roles. She has been a highflying air hostess, travelling all over the world but as also had other roles at Heathrow Airport and Doncaster. The children used the time to ask her questions about her experiences.
After lunch we had our 1CR aeroplane. We watched an in flight safety video and prepared for take off! The children enjoyed some squash on the plane whilst watching a documentary about āThe Day in the Life of a Pilotā.
To finish our day we followed instructions to make paper aeroplanes. We then took them outside to see who could throw theirs the furthest. A big well done to Ariana who was our overall winner!

On the final day of Hook Week, we spent some of the morning in our crews designing a Crew robot. We combined our ideas to design a robot that makes healthy snacks/drinks and encourages different physical activities to keep people fit and healthy. I would like to say a huge shoutout to all of the adults who came in to support the children with creating the robot in our family learning event in the afternoon. Everyone worked well together to make our amazing design a reality and should be super proud of the end product.

Weāve had some fun, active lessons learning all about animals in Hook Week. First, we played an active food chain game to learn about the flow of energy within a food chain between grass, deer and wolves. Then, we worked in teams to classify different types in animals as either a mammal, reptile, amphibian, insect, fish, bird or arachnid based on their different features. Everyone took part and had lots of fun while learning.

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 Fridayās learning, we spent the afternoon watching the film Robots.
The children are all hooked in and excited to learn more.

As an introduction to our new Expedition, we became YouTuber’s and made our own dance video. Our topic is Ready, Steady, Grow and we are going to be learning all about how to live a healthy lifestyle. We created a video to teach you some dance moves so you can dance along at home too. GO BANANAS!
What a start to the new year! We arrived in our classroom this morning to see some terrible crimes had been committed whilst we were away. We hunted the classroom to take pictures of the crime scene, we made predictions about who could have done these terrible things and we shared our new class text! Our new class text is Supertato! We looked at the front cover and talked about what we predicted might happen in the story. After reading an email from the kitchen about some peas going missing from the freezer, we believe we know who our culprit is! EVIL PEA!
As we don’t have Supertato at our school, we designed our own Super Vegetable/Fruit! Someone who could fight our villain, who is still at large!
A huge thank you to all of you wonderful grown-ups who attended our Celebration of Learning on Friday. It was wonderful to see your children so excited to show you what they had been learning; they have definitely taught me some things about William the Conquerer! We hope you enjoyed the quiz and making a catapult.
