Year 3
Friday 13th September round-up
I do hope that you got a chance to check out all of the photos of activities that we have done this week. The children have thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Here's what they had to say about their learning;
Amelia - You need to use a force to pull a door open and push it closed.
Kayaan - In fairytales most of them have once upon a time.
Nel - We have been using magnets to check if materials are magnetic. I found out that not all metals are magnetic.
Jamie - pushing and pulling are forces.
Harry - I have lots of fun today. (practical activity with magnets)

6th September 2024 - Friday round-up
This week we have been doing lots of art work. We looked at the work of Edvard Munch and Vincent Van Gogh. We also created colour wheels and our own art in the style of Vincent Van Gogh.
Here's what the children had to say about their learning;
Amelia-Joy - I know that Edvard Munch did expressions. His paintings did not have ots of detail and the colours look like they were watered down.
Tishe - I would now recognise the work of Vincent Van Gogh because he used tiny brush strokes.
Hazeemat - A tertiary colour is when you mix a secondary and a primary colour together.
Harry - Red and blue makes purple.
Alan - Edvard Munch's most famous painting is The Scream.
Ryan - Vincent Van Gogh's most famous painting is Sunflowers.
The following children scored 100% in their Mental maths test this week:
Poppy
Eli
Hazeemat
Michael O
Marvellous
