Shirley Hughes' poetry
We have been inspired by Shirley Hughes’ poetry in “Out and about” to create our own autumn poems. We started to explore seasonal changes and write some description using our senses!
Tints and Shades
Children using their tints and shades to paint their compositions.
DT - Stuffed Toy Evaluation
In DT this week, Class Three finished their unit of learning by evaluating their stuffed toys. The children thought about what went well and what they would change next time if they had the chance. They also looked back and reflected on their original plans to see if their outcome closely followed…
Investigating addition
In maths this week we have been investigating addition. We have used part/whole models and developed our knowledge of number bonds.
Playing with Magnets
Is there anything more fun than playing with magnets? Definitely not! We discovered many things like not all metals are magnetic, and magnetic fields can go through objects.
Famous War Poems
To begin our poetry unit, we thought of vocabulary linked to the theme of war. The children in Class Three explored a range of famous war poems, including ‘Dulce et Decorum est’, ‘The Solder’ and ‘How to Die’. We revised the use of metaphorical language in preparation for creating metaphors,…
Absorbency of materials

Is Digital Technology always better?
This half term we have looked at the uses of digital devices. Today we investigated whether using digital technology was always better. We drew pictures the old fashioned way then used an iPad to try and draw the same picture. Then compared the two.
Effects of Friction
In Science this week, Class Three investigated the effects of friction. We learned that friction is a force that acts on moving objects and it also generates heat! The children created their own marble runs and predicted which material they thought would create the most friction, therefore slowing…
