Today, we took our stories on an adventure around the globe! As we moved round the classroom (different countries), we focused on editing one part of our story. We cannot wait to publish these!

Today, we were really lucky to have Vicki Rees from Churchill Secondary school teach us a dance about Diwali.

We had our first lesson learning how to sketch on Friday. We examined features of our face closely. We used mirrors to help to add detail to our self-portraits.

13th June 2022 We have been working super hard at home, creating presentations about countries in Europe this term

10th June 2022 In today’s RE lesson, we explored our special places and how they make us feel. We then discussed where a Christian’s special place might be.

27th May 2022 As part of our science topic, we used everyday objects to show how the digestive system works. Class 2 joined us and it was so much fun sharing our learning.

28th March 2022 In science today, we explored what surfaces are best for an escape lane. We loved taking our learning outside.

10th March 2022 Class 3 had the delight of welcoming Sue (Ethelflaed) into our classroom. Ethel is a lady from the Anglo-Saxon times. She taught us about the natural resources used in the Anglo-Saxon times. This allowed us to have an excellent transition into our Geography topic ‘Natural Resources’. Ethel showed us how to twirl sheep’s wool into wool, the armour used in Anglo-Saxons times and how to weave using branches from different trees.

1st March 2022 Today, we smelt and tasted lots of different teas as an introduction to our new book, ‘Cloud Tea Monkeys’. We were asked by the Royal Tea Taster to smell, taste and then describe the different teas.

17th February 2022 We were really lucky to explore Anglo-Saxon and Viking artefacts from Weston Museum. We had a great time analysing them!

15th February 2022 We are very lucky in Class 3 to have had the opportunity to do lantern making with Nicky Orr ahead of Blagdon Lantern Parade. We have all been involved in creating it and it is now looking fantastic- if we do say so ourselves!

11th February 2022 After learning about Batik in art this term, we created our own Batik art. We were able to draw the outline for our animal with hot wax and fill in the gaps with dye. Whilst this was happening, we also did weaving.

21st January 2022 We had an Anglo-Saxon and Scot WOW Day as part of our history unit. We dressed up, wrote our names in clay using the Anglo-Saxon alphabet, created Anglo-Saxon broaches, made our own helmets and even made models of Anglo-Saxon huts.
