Another busy week in Class 3!  The class are making good progress in the violin lessons.  We have started to write our independent stories based on the myth Theseus and the Minotaur. The class are all coming up with some great ideas for their stories!  We also had a very informative safety talk about railway safety ready for our school trip on July 10th - more details to follow soon.

What a week in Class 3!  We have enjoyed our maths day where we had to crack the code for the maths escape room which was fun. Then we loved the visit from the Science Institute where we enjoyed an amazing show all about the digestive system!  We are also learning how to play rounders, ready for our inter-house competition at the end of the term.  Well done Class 3!

What a busy first week back Class 3 have had!  We had our first of 10 whole class violin lessons which was fun!  Then we also had a fantastic visit to SkillZone to learn about so many safety messages.  Please do look on the Terms 5&6 of our Class 3 section with lots of photos of our trip.  

We wish everybody a very happy Easter holiday!  We have had another busy week in Class 3.  Everyone loved the Scootability on the playground!  The whole class did a great job as the choir in the Years 3&4 Production.  They had learnt the songs so well, sang with gusto and danced along too!  We also enjoyed our Easter Service in Stratton Church on Thursday.  We hope that everybody has a well deserved rest!

The children have certainly experienced a whole host of opportunities during our science week. Hopefully they have gained a great insight into how science plays such an important part in our everyday lives. We are especially grateful to all our visiting scientists who took the time to come and share their expertise.  Mrs Crawford held fascinating presentations and workshops on forensic science. Classes 2 & 3 were stunned to find their classrooms had been turned into a crime scene! Together, they had to use their knowledge of footprints and DNA to solve the crime.  Mrs Wyndow gave a brilliant talk about what is involved in being a medical engineer.  Our whole school STEM challenge to design and make a marble run was a great hit.   We also undertook a range of experiments in class, please enjoy the photos!

Wow what a busy week we have had in Class 3!  We were visited by a Viking before our swimming lessons.  Then we enjoyed finding out about Light and Shadow in Science.  In Geography we learnt all about earthquakes and what children in earthquake areas have to do to be safe.  We have been busy practising our songs for the Class 3&4 Production.  Then we have loved choosing our World Book Day books after a special reading assembly.  Enjoy the rest this weekend Class 3!

Class 3 are really enjoying our Geography topic of volcanoes and making our own mini eruption too!   We are enjoying it so much that we are writing our independent write based on a story which includes a volcano.  Great work Class 3!

Class 3 have had a busy week back after half term!  They loved tasting bread as part of our DT topic this term.  They were busy practising their French vocabulary with their partners, they have learnt a lot this year!   In Geography we started our new topic all about volcanoes and earthquakes.  We started by making the Earth using playdoh from the Inner Core all the way out to the land and the sea.  In PE we were practising making shakes in Gymnastics.  Well done Class 3!

The final week of term has been very busy for class 3. We have finished our own rhyming poems based on 'The Sound Collector.' As well as this we have finished our column addition and subtraction unit in maths which all of us have enjoyed. We have also had fun completing our house cross country race this week. It was lovely to see you all in fancy dress/ non-uniform on Friday. Keep up the good work class 3, and have a happy half term!

Class 3 has had a very exciting week! On Tuesday we created part of a mosaic that will be placed outside of the school. We also began looking at our poem 'The Sound Collector' and are thinking about how we can write our own poems. In French we had a lot of fun practicing how to sing 'head, shoulders knees and toes' in French! 

Keep up the great work class 3!

It has been another busy week for class 3. This week we have completed some amazing work on column addition. We have also started learning the names of our body parts in French. As well as this we have finished our English topic of 'The Incredible Book Eating Boy.' The children have written their own adapted version of the book and published them! Keep up the great work class 3!

It has been an exciting week for Class 3. This week we visited a mosque in Gloucester, we gained lots of knowledge around what life is like as a Muslim.  As well as this we have been exploring how magnets work in our science lessons, considering what day to day objects are magnetic and why. In reading we have been looking at the book 'The Street Beneath My Feet,' this has allowed us to think about what is underground and why it is important. We are also continuing to enjoy our swimming lesson each Monday afternoon . Great work Class 3!

It has been a busy first week back for class 3. This week in English we have started looking at our new humous book 'The Incredible Book Eating Boy' and have begun creating our own wonderful sentences. We have also started exploring the topic of the Shang Dynasty in our History lessons. In PE we have been looking at how important it is to use communication, we thought about how it can be easy to communicate to one or two people and how it can become a challenge when it is the whole class. We also had our first swimming lesson on Monday and are excited for them to continue. Well done Class 3, keep it up!
