Class 3
We have been learning about place value including negative numbers in class 3. We have been solving tricky problems like the one below. Can you work it out? We really enjoy our maths; here are some comments from children about what they love about maths……..
During our art lessons, class 3 has dedicated our time to our drawing skills. We have used our sketch books to regularly practice our techniques. Experimenting with various drawing materials, including felt tips, pencils, and pastels, has enabled us to explore different artistic styles. Our focus has been on the use of lines and perspective to create captivating artwork that draws the viewer in. In addition to our skills’ dev
elopment, we have found inspiration in the works of Edgar Degas, a famous French impressionist painter known for his drawings of dancers. This exposure has broadened our understanding of various art movements, such as surrealism and realism. We hope you enjoy a small sample of our work.
We enjoy descriptive writing in class 3. Here are some samples of our writing from this term.
In early September, the Year 4 children participated in a Bikeability session. Despite the chilly weather, they began their training in the school playground and progressed to the nearby roads upon successfully completing the initial session. We are pleased to report that all participants passed and received their certificates. We encourage them to enjoy their cycling adventures.
We have enjoyed our first Forest School session of the year this term. It was great to see Maggie and Rosie again. We used a bow saw, drilled, whittled and tied knots, to make our incy wincey spiders.
The children in Years 4, 5, and 6 had the opportunity to take part in a football tournament at Colne Valley High School. They played exceptionally well as a team and never gave up trying to score goals. They finished second in their league. A huge congratulations for the effort and determination you all put into the games!
We would also like to say well done to Rory in Year 5 and Franky in Year 2 for participating in the annual School’s Cross Country for Colne Valley Schools. Despite the very muddy conditions, they ran impressively and successfully completed their races. Rory is progressing to the finals at Leeds Road on Tuesday, 22nd October. Well done to all the children who represented the school brilliantly at these events!
The Benedetti Foundation was established in 2019 by violinist Nicola Benedetti CBE. They deliver transformative experiences through mass music events and provide equal access to music participation and appreciation for all. Led by Nicola and a tutor team comprising exceptional educators and performers from across the globe, we unite those who believe music is integral to life’s education. We were lucky to have a visit from a percussionists this term. The children commented on how it was nice just to listen to the music instead of play it and how they loved how the percussionist used the instruments in different ways.
