Class 3

In English, Oak Class had the best time publishing their writing. We created our very own diaries, inspired by Anne Frank and wrote up our edited writing from Anne’s perspective! The children included tag questions to convey a tone of uncertainty (of Anne’s move to the secret annexe) along…

Oak Class loved their trip to the National Memorial Arboretum, where they enjoyed participating in a World War Two explorer day! We learned about the life of an evacuee and that of a child who stayed in London during the Blitz. We also explored a ration box and 1940s menu and looked at…

After learning how to sew a blanket stitch, Oak Class selected their felt and cut their teddy templates in preparation for sewing their stuffed toys!

Oak Class learned about the force, water resistance and tested its effect through a practical investigation. We worked together to explore if the surface area of an object affects the time taken for an object to sink before concluding our findings!

In PE this week, Oak Class communicated to help their team make effective decisions. The children played the roles of attacker to dribble and pass the ball whilst the defenders tried to kick the ball out of play. Super ball skills today!

In French this week, Oak Class learned how to say and write simple descriptions of hair and eye colour. The children used their learning from last week about how French adjective endings change depending on whether they are describing masculine or feminine nouns. We also enjoyed playing a…

In Science, Oak Class planned and carried out a fair test to investigate air resistance and its effects. They carefully considered the variables that needed to be controlled or measured and analysed their results to look for patterns and draw conclusions! 

In Science, Oak Class described the force of gravity and its effects. We used data to measure out the diameters of different celestial bodies on the playground before recording the gravity of each planet. We looked for trends in the data, regarded anomalies and concluded that the larger the mass…

To begin our first week back, we used the book, ‘In Our Hands’ as a hook for a variety of fun activities! The children loved planning, writing and sharing their own list poems of their favourite places along with thinking of ways they can love themselves along with the world around them. We also…

This week, Class Three went on their residential to Laches Wood! The children enjoyed a multitude of fun activities including: archery, axe throwing, canoeing, caving, BMXing and high ropes!

In DT this week, Class 3 used cube nets to design and assemble the bases for their steady-hand games!

Our first DT lesson involved learning about the difference between ‘form’ and ‘function’. The children in Class Three then explored a range of children’s toys before analysing their functions and forms. We thoughts about whether the toys would support a child’s fine or gross motor…
