This rather large character has appeared in Class 3 this week. The children have been really intrigued by him. Those children that already know about him have been great and have not give any plot lines away! The work that the children have produced so far, has been of a super quality and I can't wait to see what else we will get up to with it.
In Maths we have been learning our 3 times tables. We have played games, written sums and worked on the computers. We will keep working on these and going back over our 2, 5 and 10's. Keep having a go at home too!
We got a little bit colourful in Art. We have been learning about colour theory. We have recapped Primary and Secondary colour and learn about Tertiary colours. We also learnt a little about harmonious and complimentary colours and how artists used colours in their work. Hilma af Klint, (The Swan, no.17) used colour theory in her art work.
Well done this week everyone.
Have a great weekend next week. Keep safe and have fun.
Miss Watkins and team.

Well, we have been reading - How to Wash a Woolly mammoth this week. We now have some very clean mythical creatures in Class 3. And, if you would like any advice on how to keep them clean, maybe you need to ask your children. They have written wonderful; instructions on how to clean gnomes, pixies, fairies, griffins and even witches! There are top tips and lists of things needed to help you.
In Maths, we have been super with our subtraction! We have looked at column subtraction. Well done everyone. You have been brilliant at that.
In History, we have looked at grave goods and how they helped archaeologists find out about the past. The children have also held some real flint arrow heads from Neolithic times. Wow. They could be 6000 years old!
In Science, we have continued learning about how fossils are formed, which was really interesting. We discovered the different types of fossils and that they are only formed in sedimentary rock.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone.
Keep safe and see you all on Monday.

What a week Class3!
We have been all about the rocks again! We have used the digital microscope more times this week than ever before. I think we might wear it out before the end of the term!
In literacy, we have been working on story writing. We wrote a story all about what might happen if we fell down a hole, just like in The Stone Age boy. Super work.
In Maths, we have been looking at adding hundreds numbers. We have also recapped our number bonds to 10 and 20 and have moved on to look at some times tables (2, 5, 10).
Have a wonderful weekend. We have a new book to look at. I think you will love it! Be safe and see you all on Monday.

What a great week we have had.
We have been busy going back in time to the Neolithic days. That is even before Miss Watkins was born! The children have learnt about the ways that they kept their food by drying and smoking it, just like today. They have also learnt about how the people use animals to the full, to feed their families, make shelters and make clothing. How amazing.
In Maths, we have learnt all about column addition. We will keep practicing this over the next few weeks. We have also looked at adding and taking 10 from a number. The numbers bridging 10 were tricky!
I have loved your art work based on Stonehenge and all the wonderful science work, that has lead to you all bringing stones into to look at. Some of them are so beautiful.
Have a great weekend.

Wow! Class 3 you are really showing me how grown up you are. We have got our rules and routines in place now, and you are doing a good job at sticking to them. Let's keep it up.
This week we have learnt some amazing new words in History - Neolithic, Mesolithic and Palaeolithic, to name but a few, we can throw in hunter gatherers and nomadic!
In Science, we have learnt some new words too - igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary. The children loved discovering how these rocks were formed. We created posters and called the Let's Rock!
We have been reading a few books too, including Georges Marvellous Medicine and Cave Baby too. They children have really enjoyed reading and can't wait for more books next week.
We went outside on Friday morning with Miss Monday, for our outdoor learning. It was lovely to be out in the sunshine and finding all of the answers to our maths problems in orienteering.
I am impressed with you class 3. Keep it up!
