Welcome to the blog for Class 3.
Obviously Christmas has been a little different in school this year and we have had to find new ways of doing things. However, we haven’t let that stop us and I am sure you will be able to see from the video below, how much fun we have all had…hope you enjoy it!!
Below is also a link to our whole school advent calendar, please copy this into a new browser to continue to watch our videos on the run up to Christmas….look out for a special message on Christmas Eve.
Have a fab Christmas x
Have a spot of festive fun this week for homework….
Today we received the amazing news that we had collectively walked 1330 miles to LAPLAND! We celebrated with a brillIant afternoon of fun…have a look at what we got up to….
This week we worked hard as a class to create our own poem using the style of the sound collector….I was sooooo impressed with how much knowledge and language the children have gained this term – top work Class 3!
Have a listen for yourself…..
This week we have been looking at the poem ‘The Sound Collector’. We have explored the rhyming pattern and the verbs used in the poem. Have a listen to the poem…what sounds would you miss?
Your homework this week is saved on seesaw. As an extra challenge, can you write your own poem about sounds in your house?
Like last year, we were asked to be involved in Beverley Minister’s Christmas Tree Festival. This year, images of the trees will be projected onto the walls of the minister. Our tree has the theme ‘kindness’ and Class 3 all made rainbow decorations. We chose rainbows because they have been very important this year as they have been used as a symbol of thanks and to show our appreciation throughout lockdown – values that are also very important during Christmas time.
To link to our work on plastic pollution, we made plastic fish sculptures. We looked at the work of Marina DeBris who uses items washed up from the ocean to create her pieces of artwork. We designed, made and evaluated our work an£ also had great fun! Our finished fishes can all be seen on seesaw.
As part of our Geography work we have been using atlases and finding out about climate zones. We were travel agents and we planned holidays for different families. We worked hard to use many different pieces of information!
For homework this week can you pretend to be a travel agent…ask some people at home, where they would like to travel to….and see if you can find the continent it is in, the climate of the country, the clothing you would need to wear if you travelled there and an interesting fact or place to visit.
As an extra challenge, can you create a holiday brochure or advert for one of the countries. I can’t wait to see where your family’s dream locations are!
Remember to upload all your findings to seesaw.
This song below may help to recap the continents…
Since half term, we have been enjoying the story of Michael Recycle in our English work and finding out lots about recycling to link to our theme. This week we even had our very own Michael Recyclel!!
We plan to write our own Superhero stories next week so remember to ask Class 3 about who saved the world in their stories!
I was so impressed with the homework I received on seesaw this week. You all found so many examples!
Thank you to everyone who has downloaded the seesaw app and accessed the work. I hope you have all enjoyed looking at and sharing your work with people at home. If anyone has any questions please feel free to email me on the class email address. I will continue to post website links, games and tasks to access at home.
