Pizza Making

Happy Easter

It’s the start of the Easter Holidays!

  Make sure you have lots of fun, do lots of reading and don’t eat TOO much chocolate.

Book Week

We’ve had lots of fun during Book Week.   We’ve been on a library hunt and played lots of games about books.

Keira has been making good use of her prize for winning the poetry competition and was writing a book review about Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

 

 

Reading to each other was fun.

 

The costume parade was really interesting. We got to see all the costumes from the junior classes.

 

Isaac was chosen as the winner for our class for his outfit from Grandpa’s Great Escape.

 

 

Ballroom Dancing

Several members of 3M went to Blackpool Tower Ballroom to perform a ballroom dance routine they had been learning.  Well done to Starr, Oliver, Dominic, Emelia and Ruby for working so hard and putting on a brilliant performance.

Poetry Competition

Well done to Keira for winning the poetry competition after competing again 15 other poets from classes throughout the whole school.

Mother’s Day

We hope all our mum’s enjoyed their Mother’s Day cards. They were fun to make even though the hearts were a little tricky.

Labelling bones

Organs

In science we have been learning about the muscles, bones and organs.   We placed cut out organs on our friends to work out where they are in the body.

Netball

We are enjoying learning different ways to pass a ball in netball.

Testing surfaces

Our science topic this half term is Forces and Magnets. This week we predicted which surfaces would have the most friction and which would have the least.   We tested our prediction by releasing a toy car down a slope and measuring how far it travelled.

Testing foods for our pizzas

In DT we are planning pizzas we are going to make.   This week we tasted lots of different foods and decided which ones we would have on our final pizza design.

Safer Internet Day

We discussed how to behave kindly online. Then we designed posters to encourage others to be kind online.  

Turning ourselves in Kandinsky art

We used the ipad to take a photo and turn this into a Kandinsky style picture.  

Dancing

We created pieces of abstract art inspired by Kandinsky.

Gymnastics

Our PE is continuing our work on gymnastics from last term. 

 We have been building up to create a sequence with a travel, balance, roll and jump.

Introducing Kandinsky

Today was our first art lesson of the new term. 

We are beginning to learn about Russian born painter Wassily Kandinsky. 

 He was an abstract artist so his paintings didn’t look exactly like what they were meant to be. 

 We compared two of Kandinsky’s famous works and discussed images we could see.

Ideas of what could be seen included a mouse, buildings, mountains, a face, objects disappearing into a black hole and Alice falling down the rabbit hole into Wonderland.

After discussing primary and secondary colours, as well as the use of shade and tint we added colour to a Kandinsky picture.

Having fun coding

3M all love using the IT equipment.   This afternoon we coded on the ipads using Discovery Coding.

 Then we used what we had learned to programme the Pro Bots.

  This is the first time we have used Pro Bots and it was a little tricky at first.    

Examining Poetry

3M have got straight back to work this morning. We started our new topic in English which is Poetry.   Here we are hard at work examining different poems and explaining what made us like them.
