It was so lovely to see so many of our year 3 and 4 parents at our project exhibition. We used chalk to create Iron Man pictures, used QR codes to find out about the features of Antarctica and finished with a song about the continents. A real showcase of our autumn learning.
In Science Class 3 were investigating different shaped magnets to find out which one attracted the most paperclips. We used a bar, ring, button, paddle and horseshoe magnet. Which one do you think is the strongest?
Yeaar 3 had a great day out at Think Tank science museum in Birmingham. Lots of hands-on exhibitions to explore, a Lego coding workshop followed by outdoor exploration in the science garden.
Our recent trip to Beeston Locks has left us buzzing with excitement! We explored the history of this magnificent canal, uncovering tales of its role in transporting coal and lace.
We compared the canal to the River Trent and Amazon River, discussing how the canal is a man-made marvel, while the River Trent flows and Amazon River flow naturally.
Later on, we conducted a survey to observe and record the different types of people and transport passing us by on the busy canal and canal path. From cheerful boaters to cyclists whizzing through. The sheer diversity reminded us how active and vibrant our local area is.
Calling all Shakespeare enthusiasts! Our brilliant Year 3 and 4 children have outdone themselves yet again! They recently took part in the prestigious ‘Schools Massive’ project, where they performed excerpts from the timeless classic, Romeo and Juliet!
We are absolutely thrilled to announce that out of numerous schools, we were selected as one of only six to participate in this incredible project! And what’s more, they showcased their talents on the renowned Playhouse Stage – one of the biggest in the country!
We couldn’t be prouder of our students! Their commitment and passion for the arts are truly remarkable. This experience has not only deepened their love for Shakespeare but also provided them with invaluable skills in storytelling and performance.
Class 3 and 4 had a very inspiring afternoon on Wednesday meeting Alison and Richard. As part of the ‘Inspiring Futures’ project, Alison and Richard came to talk to us about their careers. Alison works for the NHS and Richard works for the Environment Agency in flood management. What will class 3 and 4 do in the future?
Year 3 pupils have completed their nightlights! They wired up their Crumble kits, connected the Sparkles and a light-dependent resistor (LDR). After, pupils wrote a program to make the sparkle change colours.
What amazing designers and coders we have!
Class 3 have really enjoyed getting hooked into our new rainforest project. Lots of engaging activities including; using pastels to create brightly coloured parrots, colouring some patterns inspired by the indigenous Kayapo tribe and making a rainforest in a jar. A busy and creative day!
Parents enjoyed travelling back in time to the Stone Age. The children shared their Beaker pots and how they used the clay coiling method. Using their art skills they taught parents how to blend with chalk and pastels. Working together, families created amazing pieces of art.
Well done to our Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 pupils for completing another reading bookmark. They certainly do enjoy reading for pleasure.
Today was Safer Internet day across school and Year 3 created a timeline of internet milestones, deciding at what age young people might experience them. We discussed how they felt about online bullying and unreliable information, and who can help us deal with this.
What a busy and fun-filled afternoon class 3 have had at Wollaton Park doing Forest School activities; looking at what’s inside a tree, bug hunting and bark rubbing.
We even had time for a hot chocolate!
As part of our wider opportunities lesson today, we have been learning about diverse families. We read the story of Grandad’s Camper and we celebrated the different families in class 3.
