Stars of the Week: Cameron J and Hudson
This week, Class 3 were very lucky to have a visit from Father Andrew Zinhi from the cathedral, to help us prepare for the Candlemas service. We found out about the story of Simeon and Anna and reflected on the meaning of Candlemas. Well done Cameron and Hudson for writing such thoughtful prayers and reflections! Class 3 is really looking forward to leading our first service in the cathedral soon!
Next week in Class 3… we will be completing our prehistoric-inspired jewellery in art!
Stars of the Week: All of Class 3!
Class 3 had a very exciting trip to the Natural History Museum yesterday! The class took part in a ‘Dino Dig’ workshop and practised being palaeontologists, carefully uncovering some dinosaur skulls and using clues to identify the species. After that, each group explored the museum to find out lots more about our science topic of rocks, fossils and soil.
Well done Class 3 for bringing so much enthusiasm to your learning!
Thank you again to our parent helpers – we couldn’t have done it without you!
Next week in Class 3… we will be listening out for and using different vocal timbres in music.
Stars of the Week: Ethan and Marcia
Class 3 have been investigating different kinds of rock using the digital microscopes. Everyone made detailed, labelled sketches of the rocks, and worked as a team to identify types of rock using a set of clues.
Super scientists – well done!
Next week in Class 3… we will be using what we’ve learnt about stop-motion animation to plan a storyboard in computing!
Stars of the Week: Chiugo and Lacey
Class 3 have made a fantastic start to the new half term! As well as beginning new topics on rocks in science and Hinduism in RE, the class have made a start on their self-portraits for the new hall displays. We’ve been looking at the art of Sandra Silberzweig and how she uses colour and pattern to communicate her emotions.
Chiugo and Lacey made excellent use of their sketchbooks to try out ideas and practise new techniques with oil pastels. Well done!
Next week in Class 3… we will begin our new class text, The Wind in the Willows and will continue with our maths topic on multiplication and division.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Class 3 have had a very busy Autumn Term and we would like to share all the learning on display around our classroom.
Stars of the Week: Daniela and Sean
This week, Class 3 have been finding out more about prehistoric life in Britain by looking at Skara Brae, an archaeological site from 3,000BC! After finding out about all the archaeological clues to what life was like, Class 3 wrote poems describing a day in the life at Skara Brae.
We hope you enjoy them!
Next week in Class 3… We will be completing this term’s DT topic by evaluating the musical instruments we’ve made.

Next week in class 3… we’ll be finding out how the length of shadows can be changed in science, and begin a new topic on multiplication and division in maths.
Stars of the Week: Jacob and Osarenoma
Class 3 have been working very hard this week practising for their collective worship and for the Cathedral service, and creating Christmas artwork for the new hall displays. Both Jacob and Osarenoma have been excellent singing leaders in all the rehearsals and worked very carefully on their artwork.
Keep it up, superstars!
