Gymnastics

This week in PE, we have been focusing on balance using different parts of the body. We have been learning about points and patches and using these types of balances to create a short sequence. The children worked in pairs to share ideas and they enjoyed sharing their sequences with the rest of the class. We actually have some amazing gymnasts in year three so watch this space!
We are geologists!

This week in science we started our new topic on 'Rocks and Soils'. We began by looking at natural rocks and exploring what is meant by igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic tocks. The children learnt how the different rocks are formed (which they were very excited about!!) and then they explored their properties. The lesson over ran as they were very interested in finding out more!
Happy Christmas!

Miss Jackson, Miss McNamara and I would like to say a huge thank you to you all for your generous gifts, cards and kind words this Christmas. Your children are an absolute joy to teach and they have all worked incredibly hard this term- we are extremely proud of them. Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas, filled with memories and family time. Thank you once again. See you in 2024!

Pneumatic toys

We completed our DT project this week on pneumatic toys. The children learnt to create their own pneumatic mechanisms, decorate their own toy and evaluate their final product. There was a lot of peer support, creativity, a messy classroom but most of all, a lot of fun! It was lovely to end the term with something creative. We hope they have given you a demonstration at home!
