To launch our new topic, ‘Why do we need Rainforests?’, we had a wow day exploring the sounds of the rainforest. We came to school dressed as explorers and rainforest animals.
After exploring our in our new immersive pod, we performed rainforest poetry.
We then created our own instruments and created a music sequence to accompany our poems.
It was a brilliant day!
Welcome back to the Summer Term in Year 3/4. We are ready to start a new topic with the question ‘Why do we need Rainforests?’ Our pod has been transformed into a Rainforest with a trickling waterfall running through the pod.
This week, the children in Years 3 and 4 have been learning about Easter Traditions in France. They have also learned that Joyeuses Pâques means Happy Easter.
This work then inspired us to send our Easter cards out in French this year!
All of Year 3 and 4 would like to wish you Joyeuses Pâques!
As part of our volcanoes topic, we have learned about Mount Vesuvius and the destruction of Pompeii. We are now learning about the people who lived in Pompeii called Romans. We have been looking at what life was like in the Roman times and have looked at mosaics. Yesterday afternoon, our parents came in to school for a Roman Mosaic Workshop. We created some lovely art work!
Here we are busy working with our adults.
Some fabulous finished art work!
Look at them all together!
As part of our volcanoes unit, we are learning about different types of rocks. We represented these rocks with chocolate. We used the chocolate to make igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.
The best part of the afternoon was when we ate our chocolate rocks!
We had a fabulous week this week celebrating World Book Day. We came to school dressed as our favourite book character!
There were some amazing costumes!
The theme for World Book Day this year was ‘Share a Story’ so our day including several different storytelling sessions. During assembly with Miss Stathers, the whole school did a choral rehearsal of ‘The Three Little Pigs’ using sounds instead of words!
In the afternoon, we split into our houses to share a story. The teachers in each house read their favourite stories and then the children found a buddy to share a story with.
The older children were fantastic with the younger children.
We had a brilliant day and can’t wait for next year!
Year 3 have been learning about statistics in Maths. They have been analysing and interpreting data in different pie charts, bar charts and tables. 
For the last two weeks, Year 3 have been looking at money in maths. First they learned to partition money into pounds and pence.
They have also learned to convert between pounds and pence, add different amount of money and subtract money to find change!
On a Monday lunch time in Miss Stathers’ classroom there is a mindful colouring club. The children can come along, listen to relaxing music and colour in a variety of mindful pictures. 
We love Mondays!
Our PE unit this term is Rugby and we are very fortunate to be working with Hull FC for this. The rugby coach has been teaching us techniques for holding the ball, carrying the ball and intercepting. We can’t wait for next Monday!
