Happy World Book Day! 3H loved bringing in their favourite bedtime story and wearing their pyjamas. We spent time exploring the stories we’d brought in and even read some as a class. It was a lovely day of reading for pleasure, recommending books and being comfy.

As part of Lent, 3H have been exploring following “40 Acts” which is a challenge to carry out acts of generosity throughout Lent built around a different theme each week.

Last week, we decided a generous thing to do was to share a skill. A skill some of us had and some of us wanted to learn was to tie our shoelaces. We looked together and how to tie and then we got to practicing. The class worked in small groups to teach other children how to do this. They were wonderfully encouraging and a few children even managed to learn in the short session.

I hope this act of generosity prompts others and that the children feel motivated to continue to challenge themselves and help others.

3H have worked so hard on their brilliant volcano projects!

Take a look at all the amazing volcanoes! You can see the hard work they have put into creating these and the special attention they’ve paid to the labelling parts of the volcano like ‘crater’ ‘vent’ ‘magma chamber’ ‘lava’.

Inspired by our class novel Ice Palace, 3H made their own mittens. They’ve learnt how to sew using a running stitch. This afternoon, we discussed perseverance when sewing. The class reflected that the more they practiced the running stitch the easier and faster it became. They’ve made so much progress because of how much effort they put into their mittens. Take a look at their brilliant mittens!

In computing this half term 3H have been using iPads to create stop frame animation. Take a look at their animations and them using creative ideas and working together.

For this half term in Science they have been exploring about light and shadows. Over the weeks, they have scrutinised what a light source is and found different examples of light sources. Last week 3H worked on a science experiment to find different materials that were either transparent, translucent or opaque.

3H have been enjoying using what they know about shading and sketching and applied it to sketching an arctic wolf. Take a look at their wonderful artwork.

This half term 3H have been loving learning to play football. They’ve been exploring how to control the ball, dribble under pressure, pass to a teammate and to control the ball with different parts of the body. The end goal is to apply the rules and tactics they’ve learnt to a play in a football tournament.

Here they are practicing their skills of ball control and passing to a partner.

3H have been exploring multiplication and division in depth. Today they’ve been looking at multiplying a 1 digit number by a 2 digit number with exchange. They’ve been using manipulatives and partner talk to support their learning.

This morning, we had a lovely time listening to each other’s Non-Fiction hot writes. It was wonderful to hear their beautifully detailed pieces of writing and to hear them read aloud so well. Well done to 3H!
