Year 3
What an amazing week it has been in year 3. We have started immersing ourselves in our brand new book 'The Wild Robot'. During this half term, we will be writing a diary entry from the perspective of Roz the robot and a narrative. To encourage discussion amongst the pupils we have created our own robots with their own purposes and debated whether or not robots are good for humanity.
In science, we have started our Humans and Animals topic. This week we looked at the five food groups and how each group helps our bodies to grow and repair in different ways. For maths, we continued to develop our knowledge of fractions by placing them on a number line.
It's nearly summer so it must be time to get outside and enjoy some cricket in the sun and that is exactly what year three did. During our first lesson, we started with the basics and made sure we could confidently execute an under arm throw with accuracy.
Finally we started our community project. We are planting potatoes and mint which we will harvest in a few weeks and give to a local food bank in an effort to help those in need. We also enjoyed getting very muddy at the same time. Watch out for the worms! Ewwwwww!
Year 4
What a fantastic week Year 4 had to begin summer term!
In English, we continued with our persuasive writing on our activity centre. The children's use of interesting vocabulary, skills and creative ideas have blown us away. They have all worked extremely hard and we are proud of the progress they are making.
In PE, we have begun our new topic 'Health and Fitness'. In our lesson, we completed a circuit which consisted of 10m sprint, reaction speed tests, balancing and coordination tests and had to record our results. At the end of the topic, we will record our results again and hopefully see progress.
In DT, we continued making our sling shot cars in our groups. We used glue guns, straws, wooden dowel, lolly pop sticks and wooden wheels to construct our chassis. Next week, we will design and create the body of our car thinking about aerodynamics. We are extremely excited to finish making our cars to test them in a race.
