In Maths, 3H have been exploring 3D shapes. They’ve explored them in lots of different ways! From using multilink in maths lessons to making 3D shapes out of straws to using 3D nets to create their boxes for Charlie and the Chocolate factory.

3H had a lovely time exploring a synagogue as part of their Judaism topic. They were very impressed with the knowledge and questions that 3H had!

On Friday 3H enjoyed their Charlie and the Chocolate Factory day. They made the chocolate bars they designed, took part in a golden egg hunt around the school grounds, made a fruit kebab and used the chocolate fountain. It was a great day!

Look at these faces mesmerised by the chocolate fountain!

They ended the day by watching the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory film which was lovely as they’ve worked hard reading the book this half term.

This half term 3H have been reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. As part of this they have been designing their own healthier chocolate bar along with a logo and slogan. They’ve used nets of 3D shapes to create boxes and design them using their logo and slogan. Here they are proudly presenting their hard work.

These boxes will be used on Monday after their Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Day on Friday. The bars will stay in the fridge over the weekend and then they can use their boxes to transport their bars home.

Last week Year 6 organised a KS2 talent show. We had many wonderful performances and it was brilliant to see so many children performing their different talents. Everyone performed very well and they were very encouraging to each other. It was a great show!

Here are some of 3H’s performances for you to enjoy. 

Well done to everyone!

Last week 3H experimented with Newton meters. They’ve learnt about contact and non-contact forces. One of these contact forces is friction. After their experiments, they concluded that the surface which had the least friction required the least amount of newtons to move the shoe across it.

Wow! What a fun day 3H had today! They cheered, ran and had lots of fun. It was so good to see everyone competing in races and enjoying the various field events. There was a a lovely team spirit atmosphere where they were supporting and encouraging each other. Well done 3H!

3H spent this afternoon outside enjoying the weather and being active. Their PE unit is Cricket so they have been practicing throwing and catching with varying levels of challenge. Watch the video to see them split into batters and fielders competing against each other in a throwing and catching game.

After this 3H cooled down and then enjoyed running on the daily mile track. What a great afternoon!

This afternoon 3H used their new found compass skills to navigate their way around the school grounds. They made their way to various points across the school and logged their direction of travel.

After this, as part of mental health week they went on a ‘emoji emotion hunt’ where they explored the orchard and surrounding area to find the different emotions.

It was a lovely afternoon filled with activity, learning, exercise, fun and sun!

This afternoon 3H took a stroll down to Adel woods.

In the woods we were met by the Roots and Routes team.

One group worked with Bobak and explored movement in art. They warmed themselves up and then watched Bobak perform whilst making sketches from his movements.

The artist modelled how to create these dynamic pieces.

Another group explored art and acting with Jane and Louise, one was a herbalist and the other a train constructor. They explored some aspects of Victorian medicine as well as the industrial revolution.

They drew plants from the forest up close.

Then they acted out the different jobs that are a part of making trains and train tracks and created sentences with their movements.

3H had a brilliantly creative and active afternoon exploring their science learning on plants and their history learning around the Victorians.
