Class 3

Class Three planned a route around the UK using atlases. We used our prior learning of grid references, compass points and coordinates to accurately describe our routes!

In English this week, Class Three read and performed different styles of poetry. We identified the features of a quatrain and haiku before using pace and tone to accurately read the poems in pairs. Echo and choral reading supported the children in reading aloud before their performances.

Our Christmas trip to the Snowdome was great fun! We had lots of snow play, watched the pantomime, ‘Cinderella’ and visited Santa’s village!

In preparation for writing our non-chronological reports, Class Three selected and researched a habitat in order to create their own big-write in the style of Animalium.

In English this week, Class Three started their new unit of learning (which they are VERY excited about!). After making predictions, we started reading our new class text, Animalium. We developed our fluency and use of appropriate intonation through echo and choral reading before retrieving…

In music, we continued learning about Blues music and explored the 12-bar Blues. The children in Class Three learned what a chord is and practiced playing the chord of C with the backing music of the 12-bar Blues. We really focused on playing in time with the backing track and playing both notes…

In Art and Design today, Class Three explored decision making in creative processes. We looked at a range of images and discussed the mediums they were represented through. After selecting the space image that they found most interesting, the children experimented with drawing processes and tools…
