This week in geography, we created questionnaires to find out which amenities the residents of Colton village would like to see. We then used our results to create sketch maps of Colton village with new anemities.

This week we have been experimenting with watercolours. We used a range of techniques to create effects of light and movement in the water. 
 

We had a fantastic time at the Arboretum for Earth Day. We learnt about plastic pollution, upcycling and biodiversity. The staff at the Arboretum were so impressed with Class 3’s beautiful manners and exceptional behaviour and attitude! Well done Class 3!
 

In science we have been learning about the human skeleton. This week, we learnt about the different bones in our hands. Next week, we are going to make bionic hands so watch this space!

In Maths we have started a new unit on mass and capacity. Today we revised our prior learning to ensure that we remembered all of the key skills and vocabulary that we have already learnt. Miss Lukat was very impressed!

Today we sketched some natural items we found in our school grounds. We used a variety of techniques we have learnt this half term including hatching, cross hatching, stippling and shading.

We enjoyed reading and writing Limericks as part of our World Book Day activities.

Can you guess which characters we have dressed up as?

In maths we have been learning how to convert millimetres, centimetres and metres. Today, we measured the height of each child in Class 3 and converted metres into centimetres and compared our heights.
