Gran can you rap? – Class D performance
Class D have been working hard to learn and perform a rap. They listened to some example raps (performed by myself and Mrs Shone!) to assess what makes a good rap. They then created a success criteria and got to work. I’m sure you will agree they have done a brilliant job. They couldn’t wait to share their performances with you. Well done to the couple of girls who had only looked at the rap for the first time yesterday but still wanted to perform it. Click on the link to watch.

DT
The children have been tasting pastries this morning. They are using their evaluations to design their own pastry. They have also conducted a survey to find out what other children’s favourite filling was and what shape pastry they’d most likely buy. They then used Excel to display their results and interpreted these results to design a pastry that would sell well in a shop.
Autumn Term
Year 3 have had a brilliant start to KS2. Here are some pictures of our minibeast and habitat hunt around the school. We found lots of interesting insects and enjoyed using a key to discover what they were.

Here are a few of our Adobe Spark videos.

All children in Years 3 and 4 took part in an event called Run for Fun which was held at Queensway. There were over 250,000 children taking part in the event across the world. We all had lots of fun and all children completed the distance. We are very proud of you.

Healthy Smoothies
As part of our Marvellous Me topic we have been learning about a healthy lifestyle. The children had a brilliant time tasting different drinks and explored mixing ingredients to create a healthy smoothie. They also researched sugar content and the main ingredients in other smoothies. The children then put their measuring and chopping skills to the test to make their very own designs. I have to say they were very tasty. Miss Jones
