Today in reception Ollie and Arlo have been working hard in their expedition lesson to think about the features of their local area and then compare this to our stories ‘Handa’s Surpise’ and ‘Little Red Riding Hood.’ The boys created their very own map and anchor chart using super phonics!
We’ve all had a fantastic day today at Magna. We had a great workshop this morning all about volcanoes and rocks. We’ve explored some exhibitions and managed to have a look in the shop and play on the amazing park before lunchtime. Thank you to all of our parent helpers today we really appreciate you giving up your time to support year 3. Our kids did us proud today setting a great example of how to behave when out and about, we are very proud of you all.

Thursday saw our first UKS2 community crew of the summer term and it was clear that all our crews have got off to a great start. Top of the agenda was the battle for accelerated reader, with Crew Ambler still clinging tightly onto first place … which crew will overcome them first?
Congratulations go out to all those children receiving shout outs & HoWL certificates this week, and a huge well done goes to all of this week’s OOTW superstars – keep up your fabulous work!
We were focusing on triangles today in maths and were learning about the four different types: equilateral, isosceles, scale and right-angled. We used art straws to make the different triangles to help us learn more about their properties.
The children have all been practising their skipping skills this week and we have been keeping a tally of how many skips have taken place across school. I’m so proud of the efforts that the children have put in to learning how to skip and can’t wait for the skipping race on sports day!
Well done guys!
Today we completed an investigation to find the best rocks for different scenarios. We had to test the different properties of the rocks to find the most suitable rock for a worktop, a statue, a skate park ramp and a roof! This involved sanding, water and using vinegar on the rocks!
I was so impressed with the beautiful artwork that the children are creating in GBlock with Mrs Green! They were recreating ‘The Great Wave of Kanagawa’ using watercolour in different shades and the effect was beautiful!
Class 11 have been working on creating posters to show off their knowledge of the earth and its layers. Moe specifically, they have researched the different types of soils that make up the Earth. We looked into bedrock, parent material, subsoil, topsoil and the final organic layer. The layers were researched through the use of iPads which ensured we could get the really strong knowledge!
