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!
3H had a fantastic morning full of drama, singing and acting! We started by warming our bodies and voices up.
They listened to the and learnt more about the Lemminkainen story. Then, they acted out the story using props and songs. Take a look at some of the fantastic actors!
In the afternoon, they worked in groups to create a shadow play of the Lemminkainen story. Creating each of the characters, tracing them onto plastic and experimenting with how they look on the projection. Finally they sequenced the story and a write a script to go alongside.
It’s been lovely to be back in class after the winter break. 3H have settled back into routines well and we have been building on the brilliant partner work we learnt last term.
They have been enjoying working in pairs across all aspects of their learning. The pictures show them working together in reading to discuss the answer to questions, exploring the text in more depth and inferring meaning from what they have read.
They also show them working together to solve maths problems and exploring multiple different ways of answering questions and solving problems.
It has been wonderful to see them building relationships and developing language and conversations. We’re introducing ‘trios’ as a next step into working together and using more of the learning behaviours that Wyldstyle has!
In 3H we’ve been getting excited for Christmas! Opening our daily advent calendar as a class, making 3D Christmas trees, Christmas jumper day and creating a class advent display have been some highlights. We are still looking forward to Carols around the tree and the Christingle this week. Here are some festive pictures for you to enjoy.
Thank you so much to 3H for all their hard work this term. It’s been a pleasure to see them learn and grow in so many ways. And to their families, thank you for all you’ve done to support them in their learning journey so far. I hope you have a restful festive season!
