May
May is always a busy month especially for Year 6 with SATs but they all did amazingly well. After SATs both Year 5 & 6 have been on a school trip to Driffield Showground for the Food and Farming Day. We enjoyed learning about all the different animals and looking at all the different machinery and thankfully it was much drier than last year!
We have also had a workshop from Animated Objects and our first challenge was to build a tower from only paper. We made towers taller than us, the teachers and almost the height of the classroom! After that, we worked as a class to build a paper bridge that a car can travel on from one side of the classroom to the other. It was great fun!
April
Amongst all the festivities in the build up to Easter, with a pinch of SATs revision. Class 3 had many memorable moments in April.
We enjoyed a warmer outdoor learning with Mrs Butterworth planting seeds for the Summer to come.
We also had our safety talk on our local railways and finally enjoyed getting back outside for our PE sessions.
March
In March we were able to complete our healthy foods unit with some delicious home cooked Spaghetti Bolognese using homegrown ingredients.
Later, we then enjoyed our first Kurling lesson with Mrs Wilson before science week hit and we enjoyed building our own hydrogen cars and completing a greenhouse experiment.
February
It wouldn't be February in Class 3 without our residential trip!
This month we were busy at Robinwood.
We held a babyshower for Mrs Pickering as part of our work in PSHE.
BigFoot came in to work with us and help us to learn more about our behaviour online.
January
January was a month of all things Science!
We had our outdoor learning session with Mrs Butterworth looking at a range of materials and habitats.
We then went on to explore the history of classification with Miss Dixon and finally we created our own invertebrates using play dough.
December
December - a month of crafting, performing and festivities! Our favourites.
We played our party games in class this year and we were very competitive.
In RE we revised the meaning of Christmas and enjoyed revisiting our early years knowledge of Christingles.
And finally, as part of DT and art we made many of our own creations to decorate our homes.
November
As we build up to Christmas, we are getting busier and busier in Class 3.
We have been learning all about the Circulatory system in Science.
In English, we became newsreporters ready to write our own newspaper article.
Finally, we enjoyed learning about retrofurturistic art styles in Art producing some interesting pieces of work.
October
October has been full of adventures that have kept us very busy in the lead up to half term.
We have used our play leaders session with Mr Robinson to become play leader specialists for the rest of the school.
We completed our life saving first aid training which allowed us to practice our bandaging and wound wrapping skills.
Of course our amazing trip to Eden Camp to delve deep into the history of World War II and what a fantastic trip this was!
September
We had an amazing but extremely busy first month of the school year in Class 3 - where we were thrown straight in to some excellent lessons for our 'Out of this World' topic.
We have been using performance to help us remember key religious practices for prayer in RE,
We also used performance to act out key emotive elements of our World War II book in English using freeze framing.
Miss Dixon was really impressed with the children's work on the Solar System in science and finally we enjoyed a fantastic outdoor session with Mrs Butterworth.
