Class 3

This week we have started our new topic in history - World War I. We read the poem In Flanders Fields and created our own watercolour paintings inspired by the poem. We hope you like them!

Today we started our new RE unit, What do Christians learn from the Creation Story?. As a class, we explored the outdoor areas of our school. We took pictures of all of the wonderful things God has created and discussed why they are so special.

What a busy week! We have enjoyed reading our whole school text, Flower Power, and doing lots of activities based on the book. We have written poems, done some gardening and did a mini artist study on Van Gogh. We were lucky to meet the author of Flower Power, Caroline Wedd, on Friday to ask lots…

We had a lovely time this afternoon sharing books with Class 1.

Today we released our butterflies in the school vegetable garden.

They were reluctant to leave us and one even stopped for a rest before it flew off to the bushes. 
 

This week we have continued our persuasive writing about Sicily.

To help us find some descriptive words for the food, we sampled some classic Italian food.

Mozzarella, Tomato and Basil salad

Olives and breadsticks

Tiramisu

All were met with great reactions and lots of us were brave…

Lots of excitement in English today, two of our butterflies emerged from their chrysalises during the lesson.

We are excited to see the other three emerge.

Coconut, condensed milk and sugar!

We have created sculptures from recycling, inspired by the works of Richard and Judith Lang. 
 

We have been examining different rocks and deciding in teams how to group them. 
 

There was lots of fantastic teamwork and discussion in all groups. Everyone was able to justify their groupings to the rest of the class. 
 

This week we have continued to look at "Helping Others to get Help". We have focussed on helping soneone who does not want help straight away, or who we might be worried about.
