Year 3 have explored Vincent Van Gogh, Alice Kettle and Hannah Rae in art. They thought about different shades and brush strokes, as well as texture. They were able to add stitches to their artist inspired work today and we’re all proud of their finished products!
Today, Year 3 designed their very own fossils using clay and outdoor materials.
They also learnt about the stages of fossilisation and created their own zig zag book.
Year 3 completed their puppet theatres today and explored how shadows changed size depending on the light source distance. They were able to design shadow puppets and perform a mini show to their friends. What a great afternoon!
Year 3 looked at natural and artificial light sources today. They investigated what happened to shadows of different objects as they moved closer and further away. They were able to think and work scientifically and made some great predictions!
Year 3 explored construction today ahead of making shadow puppets as part of their science unit ‘light’.
They worked hard in groups and showed fantastic grit and determination to make these stages out of cereal boxes!
We can’t wait to watch their shows!
Our pupils had an amazing time at Bookbugs and Dragontales Bookshop this week! They had the opportunity to choose new books for our school libraries and even meet the author and illustrator, Ben Rothery, who was working on a window display at the shop.
We can’t wait to see the books we selected in the Book Nook at school!
Year 3 had a fantastic day at Norwich Castle. They were able to consolidate and further their Ancient Egyptian knowledge. They enjoyed exploring artefacts, seeing a mummy and creating their own Egyptian jewellery.
The children were safe, ready and respectful and asked some super questions. Well done Year 3!
Year 3 had a great afternoon with their reception buddies on Thursday.
They were able to ask about their learning this half term and then share their own fantastic Egyptian non-chronological reports. They have worked so hard on them and it was great to celebrate success!
Year 3 have enjoyed using ‘Scratch’ as part of their computing unit.
Today, they were able to code different instruments to create their very own band.
Miss Peek enjoyed hearing and seeing lots of different performances!
This year the school council decided to run the Christmas bauble project again. The plastic baubles were very kindly bought by the Friends and each year group chose their own designs and have been busy over the last few weeks creating them.
In Reception they decorated wooden baubles with paint, glitter and sequins.
In Year 1 they used tissue paper to collage the inside of their baubles.
In Year 2 the children measured their height and filled their bauble with ribbon that is the same height as them in 2024.
In Year 3 they filled their baubles with cotton wool ‘snow’ and decorated the outside with Christmas patterns.
In Year 4 the children decorated their baubles with glitter.
In Year 5 they used tissue paper to create bright and colourful baubles that have been hanging on their class Christmas trees.
In Year 6 they chose glitter for the insides and drew Christmas patterns and messages on the outside.
We think they all look amazing! A great big thank you to the School Council for organising this for everyone and an even bigger thank you to the Friends for supplying us with the baubles.
