Class 3

Year Six began their KS2 SATS week with their first of many nutritious breakfasts! They were fuelled and energised ready to go!  
 

In Science this week, Class Three modelled Darwin’s natural selection. After studying how Darwin explored variation in finches across the Galápagos Islands, the children considered how and why beak shape may affect how much food is eaten (consequently affecting population size). We worked in…

In Science this week, the children learned about how animals are adapted to their habitats. The children considered why these adaptations are necessary for survival.

In Music this week, Class Three continued their learning about Baroque. The children learned about the famous German composer, Johann Pachelbel and his development of the musical form, the canon. We practiced playing the parts of the canon using glockenspiels (part 1 was particularly challenging!)…

In RE this week, Class Three explored different Christian interpretations of Jesus’ miracle stories. The children considered which viewpoints they agreed with the most and reflected on reasons why.

This week, we were very lucky to be joined by Entrust for a live music performance! The children were extremely happy to see Mr Moon back. The theme this year was a journey into space. We learned about how each of the instruments worked and what family each instrument belongs to. We listened to…

Class Three kindly prepared daffodil bunches ready to give out during our Mother’s Day service in Church!

Today we were visited by the School Food Showdown who delivered a fantastic, engaging session on the importance of healthy eating. We worked in two teams to follow two different, healthy recipes and produce meals full of nutrition. The rest of the school tasted our food and the votes decided that…

In Science, Class Three predicted and presented results for electrical circuits. We considered why using a wire is recommended despite other materials being electrical conductors. The children reflected on their knowledge of electrical insulators. We worked scientifically by drawing circuit…
