Class 3 blog

This week has been full of exciting learning across the curriculum! In English, the children have been planning monuments to honour the Windrush Generation and have started writing pitches to the council to encourage them to build these monuments. In maths, we have begun exploring equivalent fractions and learning how to simplify them, while in geography we have been studying population pyramids and what they reveal about different countries. In science, our focus has been on vertebrates and invertebrates, and the children have enjoyed classifying animals and discussing their features. We also celebrated Parliament Week, with some pupils already drafting their manifestos and speeches as they prepare to run for Pupil Parliament—elections will take place at the end of next week, and we can’t wait to see their ideas come to life!

The children have settled back into the school routine nicely and we have seen some great work in Class 3 this week. We have started a new story in Book Club which takes us on an exciting adventure during 1920's America. The children have looked at the fashion and technology during the prohibition and made some great comparisons to modern day New York.

In English we have stepped into the role of both the press and crime correspondents as we began our new focus based on news reports. We continue our fractions topic in maths and also start our new Ancient Rome topic in History! DT this half term is super exciting as we will learn how to make both tomato and white sauces! We learnt all about the production of pasta and high-risk foods ahead of our practical learning over the coming weeks.
