This week in art, we have started to design our own Egyptian scrolls to give information about ourselves. We mind mapped lots of symbols and patterns from ancient Egyptian art and looked at how we could change them and adapt them to reflect our likes and interests.  We then investigated creating…

In Badgers this week, we are learning to recall and use the three times table. We learnt about how we can use known facts from the three times table to calculate other three times table facts by adding groups of 3 or subtracting groups of 3. 

In PSHE this week we have been having discussions about friendships and appropriate behaviour. We have been thinking about how we might respond in different situations and how we should be mindful of how others might be feeling. 

Team Daffodils have been discussing what makes them special and unique. 
We shared the story 'Barry, the fish with fingers' and discussed what made Barry special. Barry is special because he is the only fish with fingers and he can use this uniqueness to do lots of cool things such as finger…

Today children in Year 3 started to learn about different types of forces. We learnt about push, pull and twist forces.  We had a go at some challenges and identified which type of force we were using. We labelled these on diagrams also. 

This week Team Rabbits had a super exciting Science workshop. We had a real scientist come into our school and talk to us all about materials and chemical reactions. We now know that there are 4 ways to spot a chemical reaction; temperature change, colour, state and gas (bubbles). We then made our…

In PSHE this week we have been talking about our perception of 'self' and how the media can affect the way we view our bodies. We discussed what it means to be unique, and spoke about the huge variety of things that make up our individual identities. We also looked at some photoshopped images of…

This week in Geography we have started our topic on 'Climates and Biomes,' looking in particular at the many countries within Europe, deciding if they are land-locked, islands, or have a coastline, and which sea or ocean they might be near. Team Starlings have enjoyed making up clues to find the…
