Class 3 have had a special visitor in school called Katie from Science Buddies who did a workshop all about keeping our bodies clean. In our first experiment the children put some germs (pepper) into a Petri dish then put soap on their hands and touched the germs. The soap moved the germs away from our fingers! The children then put some cream containing germs (glitter) onto their hands and used UV lights to have a look and see how many ‘germs’ were on their hands. They checked again after washing their hands properly and found that the germs had disappeared.

The children also enjoyed making bath bombs using a special mixture. They added colouring and special scents; including candy floss, pear and bubblegum. Our classroom smelt lovely! The children were very excited to take their bath bombs home to see if they fizzed up in water.

This week we have had a visitor named Martin in our class who has been teaching us about all about the GarageBand app. The children really enjoyed using the keyboard and piano features on the app to make some interesting music. 🎶

Class 3 Did a brilliant job in their New Year assembly. They sang the song Auld Lang Syne so loudly and clearly, and told the audience all about their New Year’s Resolutions. Well done! ⭐️

Class 3 did a fantastic job in their Christmas Nativity. We are so proud! ⭐️

Class 3 made thaumatropes in their DT lesson this week as part of their toys topic.

The children in Class 3 went on a tricky word hunt around the classroom. They had to read their tricky word, then swap with a friend and read their friend’s tricky word. The children are making lovely progress with their reading. ⭐️👏

Class 3 have been learning all about the artist Van Gogh. They looked at his painting ‘The Sunflowers’ and enjoyed designing and painting their own flower themed artwork based on the work of Van Gogh.

The children did a fantastic job in their first Year 1 assembly last Friday, which was all about the Autumn story ‘Don’t Hog the Hedge’. We are so proud of you all!

In our maths lessons we have been comparing amounts. The children counted different amounts and decided which amounts were greater than, less than or equal to each other. We then began to compare numbers and were able to use the <, > and = symbols.
