We have been very busy in maths. We have enjoyed playing naughty kangaroo and looking at different combinations of 10. We can now work collaboratively in pairs and small groups. We are getting better at concentrating for longer periods of time.

As a class we have spoken about what deforestation means and why it is happening. In groups we sorted positive and negative effects of deforestation and then all made a promise of what we can do to help protect the rainforests. Well done Year 3!

Our brains were put to the test this afternoon when we had to draw shapes on the computers using loops. It was a tricky challenge, but we persevered and succeeded with lots of teamwork.

Year 3 showed great care, collaboration and challenge during P.E this morning. They competed against one another in an assault course and learnt to keep going and not give up.

In DT, the children in Year 1 and 2 were looking at the theme of wheels and axles to create their own moving vehicles. They looked at a variety of toy vehicles to see how they moved and created their own design using those wheels and axles. They worked collaboratively, looking at how to make a…

Fantastic collaboration between partners today in maths when learning how to work out the perimeter of a shape.

Today’s maths was a practical session getting to grips with tenths and hundredths. The children worked together to create patterns for their partners to find the fractions. 

The children had a lot of fun learning how to do a half and a full turn in gymnastics. They then challenged each other to see who could jump the furthest. They learnt that swinging their arms and bending their knees helped with this. 

We have enjoyed learning about Traditional Tales. This week we have been reading Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The children have enjoyed acting out the story, making bears out of play dough, trying porridge and writing an apology letter to the bears from Goldilocks.
