This week in Forest School we have been creating picutures using natual materials. We then experimented with making different animals or people using sticks, mud, leaves, berries and acorns.

This week we loved designing our Venetian masks inspired by the painting 'A Regatta on the Grand Canal'. We can't wait to make them next week!
This week Year 3 have really enjoyed our drama lesson based around 'Cave Baby'. We acted out the story from the baby's perspective and also pretended to be the different animals that he met along the way. We then added some drums to add an atmosphere to our drama and learnt different ways we could play the drum to represent different events.
This week, Amber Class had a fantastic trip to Pizza Express. We learnt how to knead the dough to make the pizza base and what ingredients are needed to make the 'perfect margherita'. The children all had a brilliant time and were very well behaved, following the instructions. We then returned to school to have them for lunch. Orange Class are very excited for their turn next half term!
On Wednesday, we also joined the BBC 500 words live lesson (Amber Class watched it later in the day) and enjoyed coming up with ideas and vocabulary for our stories. We can't wait to hear their competition entries!
This week we have been reading our class book 'George's Marvellous Medicine'. We have loved reading the story and working on our comprehension skills. We have also made a bank of the new vocabulary that we have learnt.
This week, we also had our first ukulele lesson with Heather. The children were all really engaged and learnt about the different parts of the ukulele, how to pluck and how to strum. We even managed to all join in playing the tune to a song.
Year 3 have had another fantastic week learning about how to work alongside each other. It PE, the children had to muddle themselves into a knot and then work together to 'untangle' themselves. They also had to move themselves to different positions on the bench without falling off, or knocking anyone off.

Welcome back Year 3!
We have had a fantastic week in Year 3 and have loved getting to know all the children. The children have all impressed us with how well they have settled and how well they have bonded in each class. A highlight of the week was in History, where the children created a human timeline of events from the start of the Stone Age, to the Great Fire of London, to England's Women's Football team winning the Euros.
Year 3 learnt lots on their field trip to Sutton, looking at how the high-street has changed over the years. The children found a milestone they had never noticed before, walked up the tree-lined street where once there were cars and traffic. They were fascinated to find out that Sutton has the world's oldest bicycle shop.
This week in RE, we enjoyed learning about different Buddhist festivals such as Wesak and Parinirvana Day. We then made Wesak lanterns which are traditionally crafted and illuminated during the Vesak festival, symbolise the Buddha's birth, enlightenment, and passing, signifying the dispelling of darkness and the spread of light and wisdom.
On Tuesday some of Year 3 went to Fairfield Hall to perform on their ukuleles. We were so proud of how well they did. They were a fantastic representation of the school - well done!!
This week we have been looking at how to create drawings in Scratch using block codes. We learned how to draw lines with a sprite using an extension block, recentered a sprite to improve the appearance of our projects and how to set up our projects so that they start in the same way each time.
This week in Science, we looked at what seeds need in order to grow. We then planted cress seeds in different containers to see which seeds will grow the best. Which container do you think will be the best for growing cress seeds?
