Year 3 News

This week in Year 3, we’ve been busy learning and exploring across a range of exciting subjects! In Maths, we tackled the 4 and 8 times tables, using them to solve word problems that challenged our reasoning and problem-solving skills. In Writing, we have been working hard to master subordinating conjunctions and fronted adverbials, using them to add depth and detail to our sentences while studying Call Me Lion. Geography has been an adventure as we delved into the fascinating world of deserts, discovering what makes these unique landscapes so special and researching interesting facts to share with the class. In Art, we were inspired by the colourful and imaginative work of Sandra Silberzweig, creating our own stunning artwork by experimenting with colour wheels to find complementary colours. PE brought a sense of calm to the week with a peaceful yoga session, where we practiced different positions to improve our balance, flexibility, and mindfulness. Finally, in Science, we’ve continued to explore plants, focusing on why photosynthesis is essential for their survival and for the planet. It’s been a brilliant week full of creativity, curiosity, and fun—well done, Year 3!

Year 5 News

This week has been another busy week and again the Year 5 children have impressed us with their continuing great attitude to school and their work. 

We have begun our new science unit on forces by looking at a very famous scientist. The children researched and produced fact sheets about Sir Isaac Newton.

In art we have continued looking at the work of Claude Monet and how he used colour to show time passing throughout the day. We mixed watercolours and made our own colour wheels. 

We had a very special visitor this week too, they talked to us about the royal family and we learnt lots of interesting facts. The children’s behaviour was a credit to you and to school.
