Class of 2021

In science today we made careful observational drawings of plants, flowers and trees. We also took close up photographs. We were amazed at how much there was to see in our school gardens. We also realised how much we often don’t notice because we don’t look very closely!

What a great afternoon we have had at the Y3/4 netball tournament. All the children played amazingly well and they showed true determination and perseverance, especially in the hot weather! They represented Scotforth superbly, we are really proud of them all.
 

Our new topic in DT is pneumatics (air power). We made paper rockets and propelled them forwards by blowing (really hard!) today. We have a competition to see whose was the most aerodynamic and effective!

This week in Year 3, it's been all about the Egyptologist, Howard Carter, and his amazing discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb.  We have a surprise visit from "Howard Carter" (AKA Mrs Redmayne!) yesterday and found out all about his life and what happened in 1922 when he found a tomb in the Valley of…

This afternoon we found out what some of the major organs in our body do and what we can do to help them  function at their best. We discovered that they work together as a team. When one doesn't work properly this can impact the efficiency of the others.

We also worked together in teams to…

Today we had a great drama workshop. We learnt a poem about a budgie in a cage and made up some actions to go with it. Some of us were brave enough to perform the poem in front of everyone else!

We had a fantastic history day today learning about the Ancient Egyptians. All morning we had a workshop with Professor Tuesday, who is an expert in Egyptology. She told us about the importance of the River Nile, some of her favourite pharaohs, the timeline of Ancient Egypt and, of course, all…

Today we enjoyed exploring God’s amazing creation in the sunshine! We read a version of the story of creation and then made some creations of our own. We used natural materials to make animal pictures in groups. Some of them were real animals and some were made up ‘creations’ of our own such as…

On Thursday, Year 3 & 4 attended a Korfball tournament at Moorside School. The children (and Miss Smith!) had a great time playing this game which was new to many of them. We did not get through to the final but really enjoyed ourselves and played enthusiastically and with a positive, sporting…

We are learning about dividing with remainders and today played a fun game called Division Grab. We grabbed a handful of cube or counters and the put them into groups of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 8. We got lots of points when there were lots of remainders. We found out that some numbers (like 23) gave us…

We had a great time today celebrating books and reading. We had a book cafe with some wonderful parents coming in to read to us. We also read the books we have been writing, in English, to our friends in Reception. We enjoyed a book trail around the school and even had time to fit in an online…

We have been learning about the abstract sculptures of Eva Rothschild and today we made our own. We had to really concentrate to make sure they had stability and could stay up! We really enjoyed it as you can see by our photographs.
