Stars of the Week : Laura and Thomas

Class 3 have been working hard this week to master place value and classroom routines! Your hard work and resilience in the face of challenge is fantastic. You’ve tackled difficult problems with enthusiasm and determination and learned to break down numbers, understand their value and solve problems. Your persistence and effort are impressive and it’s wonderful to see how confident you’ve become.

Class 3’s hard work, enthusiasm, and positive attitude have been truly impressive, and it’s wonderful to see how well you have settled into your new routines. You’ve already shown great progress in your learning, and I’m confident that with your continued effort, this will be a fantastic term.

Last Friday, Class 3 went to the farm. We had the best day! We first picked strawberries, then raspberries, then blueberries. We tried the fruit as we picked them and they were delicious! We then had a lunch break in the woods and the farm workers even gave us cupcakes! We then played in the park on site and played football. We had so much fun and it was a definite highlight of the year for a lot of the class.

Stars of the Week: Astrid and Oscar

This week in DT, we made fruit skewers. We have learnt lots about healthy eating in DT and PSHE across the school year. We had the choice of grapes, bananas, strawberries and raspberries. First, we cleaned our tables and washed our hands thoroughly before handling the fruit. We used the knife safely to cut the fruit into smaller pieces. We then pierced the fruit through the skewer. We had lots of fun in this lesson!

Stars of the Week: Menata and Adeel

This week, we were lucky enough to visit the Golden Hinde. We climbed aboard the ship and completed a thrilling workshop about the history of this famous ship. The workshop was very interesting and we learnt lots about pirates and ship life during this time. We even got to act out parts of its history!

Stars of the Week: Ethan and Orla

This week across the school, we have had Sports Week! It’s been a really fun week, where we have had Sports Day and Rounders. We have competed within our teams and we have shown excellent sportsmanship. In Sports Day, we competed in a variety of races, from the egg and spoon, to obstacles, to relays. In rounders, we showed great listening to learn the rules of the game and we tried our best. Thank you also to friends and family who were able to show their support at Sports Day.

Stars of the Week: Xanthe and Ari

Our topic in DT this half term is healthy eating, and this week in DT we designed our own food packaging for the crumble that we are going to make in a few lessons time. We looked at current packaging of crumbles sold in the supermarkets and we evaluated the packaging. We discussed what we liked, what we didn’t like, what colours worked well together and then our own design ideas. We also thought of some persuasive writing that we could include in our packaging to describe the crumble.

Stars of the Week: Nathan L and Luna

Last Friday, we had PSHE Day at Cathedral School, where all of our subjects had a PSHE element to them. In maths, we learnt about the value of money and budgeting. In English, we reflected on our achievements and we wrote about something we have achieved and are proud of. In art, we created a family tree and drew our loved ones. We also participated in meditation and mindfulness activities throughout the day.

Stars of the Week: Adeel and Ben

This week in English, we have looked at onomatopoeia and poetry. We first chose a location, such as a beach, city or our home, then we mind mapped the sounds of that location. For example, the sounds in our home could be the toaster popping up toast, the sizzling of the frying pan, the beeping of the washing machine, the blaring of the TV. We then put these sounds into a poem.

I hope you all had a lovely half term break and are ready for the last half term of Class 3!
