Class 3 learn all about Algeria for International Week

We have had such an exciting week learning all about a new country.

Some of the exciting things we have done, include:

Learning about the Fennec Fox (Algeria’s national animal), writing our own Algerian newspaper reports, creating a Fennec Fox collage, learning the Algerian national anthem and what the words mean, listening to the story ‘The tortoise and the hare’ which was told to us in Greek and English by a parent reader.

We have also learnt about Islam, the religion worshiped by many Algerians. We were very lucky to have artifacts from Algeria that we could discuss and learn about.

Thank you to class 3 for all your energy and enthusiasm in learning about a new country this week. You looked excellent in your international outfits today!

Enjoy your half term, keep shining.

Class 3 pirouttte with Central School of Ballet

We had a fantastic time with Central School of ballet! We were so lucky to watch two dance workshops of students from the school performing. One of the workshops were students who were about to leave the school and become professional ballerinas.

The teachers were kind in explaining what they were doing with the students. We experienced the strength and flexibility of ballerinas in holding incredible positions.

We were also so lucky to have our own workshop with a professional ballerina leading us, we were taught lots of ballet moves.

We hope you enjoy the pictures.

Class 3, what did you enjoy and learn about, during your day at Central School of Ballet?

Thank you Class 3 for the effort and hard work you put into learning your lines and the song for your assembly. The hard work paid off.

You beautifully shared with the school how the Romans brought Christianity to Britain and also how they have influenced so many aspects of our lives.

You also explained about exciting Class 3 events in newspaper reports – showing off your knowledge of features of newspaper reports.

Well done. I knew you would shine brightly up there!

Class 3 show excellent gymnastics skills

Class 3 worked hard this week in gymnastics. They first worked in lines, following their leader and using a dice and diagram to guide them on actions and movements. They used the gymnastics apparatus (very exciting!), to support movement and balance and worked in groups to create their own gymnastics ensemble.

Class 3 you showed super independent work during this session. Your use of shape, path, direction and speed were excellent. You included many aspects of gymnastics into your ensembles, showing how much you had learnt in one lesson!

Keep up the wonderful work!

The meaning of a church

In R.E this week, we discussed what a church means to us and if it is just a building, like other buildings. We added our ideas to post-it notes in groups and shared our views with the class.

We discussed how a church is not only a place for Christian worship, but can bring a community together and is a place for many occasions!

Class 3, share your views on the meaning of a church.

Class 3 attract magnets!

Well done Class 3, you have shown some wonderful learning on Forces over the term.

We have looked at how different surfaces create friction and can slow down objects. We have also observed magnets attracting and repelling materials and how their poles work.

Last week we experienced Class 3’s Dragons’ Den, creating our own ideas in groups on how a magnet can be used.

Class 3, share here what you have learnt and your Dragons’ Den idea.

Superstar Scientists…
