3D Shapes

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.

Synagogue trip

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!

They demonstrated what part of a Jewish wedding ceremony might be like
They explored the small synagogue and discussed the meaning of the windows
Here they got to see a Torah scroll. They asked brilliant questions about how the scroll was made.
They explained why they kept the scrolls in a certain way
They learnt about the shabbat meal on Friday nights
They were able to draw on their learning about the story of Moses to help their understanding

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Day!

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.

Design and Technology

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.

ACE Talent Show

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!

Science experiments!

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.

Sports Day!

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!

Throwing and catching

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!

ACE Geographers

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!
