Autumn 1
Week 2
In English, we have been looking in detail at our class book, The Borrowers, and thinking about how Borrowers might use everyday objects to create useful household appliances. We have worked creatively and collaboratively to design and make 'Borrower' contraptions.
We also had a very exciting assembly with Mr Wallis and the Walkley Sorting Hat where the children found out which of our four houses (Porter, Rivelin, Loxley and Sheaf) they were in!
In PE we have been practising our skipping skills. We practiced balancing and jumping and then put these together to work on skipping.
In History, we have been thinking about our own timelines, to help us to understand how time is mesured. We thought about significant events in our lives and chronicled these.
In computing we thought about how the Borrowers might fit in their tiny living room and drew the characters in the setting using Doodle Buddy.
Week 1
Welcome back! What a fantastic start the Borrowers have had. We have had lots of fun getting to know each other and our new classroom.
On the first day we had a Book Cafe where we shared all of our new books and explored the amazing library that we have in the Borrowers. We talked about who had already read some of the Y3 Recommended reads and had the chance to chat about books.
We also worked on our team work skills in our first PE lesson. We got the parachute out and enjoyed lots of different activities that relied on us working as a team.
We looked at the book 'Mixed' and agreed that we are so lucky to come to a school full of amazing, unique individuals. We did some fantastic art work around the book.
