We have been reading Aesop’s fables in Year 3 and writing our own version of The Hare and the Tortoise. We chose our own animals and settings and tried to use interesting verbs, adjectives and adverbs. We also learnt to show speech in stories. Today we went to read our work to the Year 1s and it…

This afternoon, we have been reading traditional tales and comparing them for our new English unit.

We looked at the artist Archimboldo and explored what he used to make his pictures.

This afternoon, we were working on our 3D art piece. We have made sure to have background, middle ground and a foreground. They are looking great!

We enjoyed using the sense of touch to see what was in the feely bag.

We used some great describing words!

Year 6 have been busy this afternoon creating plasticine models in the style of Albert Giacometti. Each model had to strike a different pose, which the children then sketched in their book. Well done Year 6!

 

Today we have been reading Funnybones and learning about skeletons. We then learnt different body parts and brought our skeletons to life.  

We used our sense of sight to look at our features e.g our skin colour, our eye colour and hair colour. We are all unique!

We enjoyed using the sense of smell to try and work out what was in the pots. 
We also discussed whether we like the smell. Or we don’t like the smell. 

Today, we have been practising our cricket skills. We have been learning how to bowl correctly, drawing a back to front number six in the air to help us. We also practised hitting the ball off a stump.

This week we have been hearing about Harvest time. We now know that farmers grow food for us to eat and England is too cold to grow bananas. We picked our own tomatoes for snack time.
