11.04.25 - French Day!

10.04.25 - Easter Fayre

Japan Class loved creating our Easter bonnets at home and showing them off at the fayre. We even made some Easter headbands in school for those children who wanted to create something and did not have the time to at home. 

04.04.25 - NATRE Spirited Arts Competition

Our class entered the NATRE Spirited Arts Competition. This year, the theme was ‘Living in a Diverse World’. We interpreted that as everyone being unique and individual, but also belonging together in one community. We took inspiration from these two images, which used bright colours with layers of paper to create a collage. We were then given a template of 5 hands, coloured in each hand with a different colour to show everyone’s uniqueness and then looked at where the hands overlapped. This is how we celebrate diversity. We are very proud of our finished artwork!

21.02.25

We made a video trailer using PowerPoint of well-known stories such as The Very Hungry Caterpillar and The Tiger Who Came for Tea. We then watched each other's videos and gave feedback to evaluate the short films. 

14.02.25

During E-Safety day, we learned about keeping safe online, including scamming. We looked at safe links and making sure we never click on a link we are unsure about and always tell a trusted adult first. We also talked about the information that is safe or unsafe to share online, such as personal details about ourselves. We wrote ‘top tips of how to keep safe online’ on a coin and then decorated our own E-safety money box to keep them all safe inside.

07.02.25 - Roman Shields

Today we made Roman shields (scutum) as part of our History topic on Romans. The children learned the names of all of the different equipment a soldier in the Roman army would have had, labelled this on a Roman soldier and made a shield. Next lesson we will use our shields to practice Roman army formations, to show exactly how shields were used to defend and attack. 

06.02.25

Our Year 3 Showcase Assembly was a huge success! The children showcased their learning in Science, History, Geography, PE, Maths and English. 

28.01.25 - Computing

Today, the children took photographs to create their own video trailer of a well-known book. Well done Japan Class!

We made cake pops! For one of our Christmas crafts, we made Christmas pudding chocolate and orange flavoured cake pops to sell at the Christmas Fair. We are so excited for everyone to try them! 

Work we are proud of!

Please see below some work we are proud of so far, right at the very start of Year 3! Well done Japan class!

15.11.24 - Children in Need & A Million Dreams Artwork

Today, we had a very special artist visit our classroom to show us a specific art skill using oil pastels and mixed medium art...Mrs Cornish! As Mrs Cornish does not usually teach us on a Friday, we had two teachers today! What a treat! Mrs Cornish showed us how to layer different colours and blend these to form a background. We then drew our dreams and aspirations into different sized circles and glued these onto the background, adding a silhouette of a person and some thought bubbles to show us dreaming.
