Year 3 Pen Pals!

16th February 2017Miss S STAINTON

Miss Stainton’s English class have been working extremely hard learning about formal and informal letter writing.

We have been in touch with a Catholic primary school in Cheshire and have all been given a pen pal to write to! This gives us a chance to demonstrate and practise our letter writing skills. Yesterday we drafted our letters and thought of some interesting facts and questions to include them, and today we wrote them up ready for Miss Stainton to post!

We can’t wait for our replies!

Blitz QR code hunt!

13th February 2017Miss S STAINTON

Miss Stainton’s class really enjoyed their afternoon in the pod hunting for QR codes! They were given a Blitz quiz and had to search for the answers using the scanner on the iPads. Lots of excellent teamwork skills were being demonstrated as they worked in pairs and they found out some really interesting things about how Hull was affected during this time period in History!

Kathputli Puppet Making!

By Miss S STAINTON9th February 2017

Year 3 loved our workshop with Indigo Moon Theatre today, we created some fantastic string puppets!

Children worked co-operatively in pairs and used their own imaginative ideas to decorate them so that each puppet looked slightly different. We learnt all about the history behind these puppets and had a chance to perform with them to some traditional Indian music at the end of the session. Thank you to Hull 2017 for funding this session! #cityofculture

Replicating our digestive system in Science!

By Miss S STAINTON6th February 2017

Year 3/4 loved getting messy as we mushed up food and fed it through our digestive system (tights!) to see how fluids and vitamins are absorbed into the body whilst the rest comes out as waste! What a fun Science experiment!

Battle of the Bulge English Work!

5th February 2017Miss S STAINTON

Miss Stainton’s English set have been working hard creating a story linked to the Battle of the Bulge which took place in WW2. They started off by studying evidence gathered from the battle which helped them piece together a story and main character. They then used the immersive learning area to help get their imaginations working as they produced some amazing creative writing linked to the storyline!immersive english lesson english history work
