This morning Reception have been very busy going to the library. We walked to Heywood library sensibly with our partners. Once we arrived at the library, we all sat down and read some books together. We all listened very carefully and one of the books made us all giggle! We were then able to choose our own book to bring back to school. It was lots of fun looking through all of the books and choosing Read more
This week Year 3 have been learning about the ring of fire. In groups of four, we each had a different area/ section of a map, on which we used co-ordinates to plot volcanoes that have erupted in the last few hundred years. Once each member had completed their individual map, we put the four pieces together. From this, we found out that the majority of the volcanoes are in groups around the coast and Read more
Reception have had an unwanted visitor these past two weeks… the Evil Pea! He first came into our classroom and took our carrots!! Supertato then left us a letter and asked for our help. Over the past two weeks The Evil Pea has done lots of silly things! We have been trying to help Supertato by making traps for the Evil Pea and making wanted and warning posters. Yesterday afternoon we found some frozen vegetables. Read more
To begin our topic last week we went on a minibeast hunt in Kayden’s garden. However as it was very wet outside we only managed to find a few Minibeasts hiding. We saw worms, beetles, woodlouse and flies. This Week we have been learning all about bees to write our own non-chronological report. A massive thank you to Cameron and Nomin that have brought some books in all about bees to help us to Read more
It was lovely to see Nathaniel’s dad here this morning to read us a story. It was a brilliant surprise and we all loved listening to the story. Thank you very much for being our secret reader.
Thank you to everyone who joined us this morning for our shared learning and lunch. We had a great time learning about hieroglyphics and writing and reading messages in ancient Egyptian writing. We then found out about the ancient Egyptian mummification process and how they removed their organs and stored them in canopic jars. We then got creative and and created some fabulous canopic jars of our own and decorated them using hieroglyphics and clay Read more
Today, year 3 located and plotted the different volcanos that form the ring of fire. They used maps and coordinates to help them. They learnt that 75% of the world’s active volcanos are located here.
This week year 3 have been learning about the layers of the Earth. After finding out the names for last weeks homework, today we found out more information about each layer, including temperatures, sizes and what they were made up of. We then used our knowledge to help us to create a model of the Earth. We then cut through the centre to reveal the layers.
We went up to Kayden’s garden to make dens and nests for the woodland creatures that might come sniffing round in the garden during the night! We had lots of fun finding sticks of the right length to make appropriate dens and nests. It was great to see that the children worked together to create these and they had lots of fun!
This week we have been learning about how a volcano erupts and how it forms a cone shape. We began by learning about tectonic plates and how they move. We then learnt new vocabulary with actions for the parts of a volcano and created a chant to help us learn the process of the volcano.
