In Science this week, children have studied muscle groups and their purpose.

In PE this week, children have continued exploring point and patch balances during gymnastics. Children have also learnt varying shapes to stretch and warm up our bodies, along with adding movement to previously learnt balances to establish differing methods of travel at heights.

In History, children have researched Roman settlements. Children learnt about the varying settlements that both rich and poor Romans may have experienced in the past. Children also learnt about differing living conditions in the city and countryside.

Well done Class 3 for all of your hard work this week!

In Maths, year 3 children have explored measure, exploring cm and mm. Year 4 children have studied area.

In Science this week, children have labelled bones in the human body. Children have then measured their femur bones to investigate if the length of a femur bone affects the distance that a child can jump.  

In PE this week, children have continued exploring point and patch balances during gymnastics. Children have also learnt varying shapes to stretch and warm up our bodies, along with adding movement to previously learnt balances to establish differing methods of travel at heights.

In History, children have researched Roman Gods and Goddesses to develop further understanding of the religions and belief systems present during this time.

Well done Class 3 for all of your hard work this week!

Have a great weekend.

In Maths, children have continued to explore division – particularly using the short division method.

In Science this week, children have investigated differing types of skeletons. We discussed the advantages and disadvantages of varying skeleton types, along with categorising animals.

In PE this week, children have continued exploring point and patch balances during gymnastics. Children have also learnt varying shapes to stretch and warm up our bodies, along with adding movement to previously learnt balances to establish differing methods of travel.

In History, children have researched several archaeological sites within the UK that have been linked to the Roman invasion of Britain in previous years.

Well done Class 3 for all of your hard work this week!

Have a wonderful weekend.

Week 2

This week, children have explored a variation of non-fiction texts about the climate change and global warming. Children have also enjoyed our fluency focus text about vikings.

In Art, children have explored 2D shapes to create everyday items such as robots, bird houses and flowers. In addition to this, children explored observational drawing, applying our knowledge of 2D shapes to complete a drawing of a can.

In Literacy this week, children have completed research about 3 specific areas relating to the human body, in preparation for children writing their very own non-chronological report.

In Maths, children have continued to explore multiplication and division. Year 3 children have explored multiplying a 2-digit by a 1-digit number. Year 4 children have applied their knowledge and understanding to solve problems and using bus stop method for division.

In Science this week, children have investigated food labels. Children have explored differing colours of labels and what this means – i.e red meaning that a food was high of a specific food group.

In PE this week, children have enjoyed exploring point and patch balances during gymnastics. Children have also learnt varying shapes to stretch and warm up our bodies, along with adding movement to previously learnt balances to establish differing methods of travel.

In ICT, children explored algorithm and debugging an algorithm. To do this, children drew monsters to explore how instructions must be explained specifically in order to avoid bugs (also known as problems). 

Well done Class 3 for all of your hard work this week!

Have a great weekend.

Week 1
