Welcome to 3N!

We are taught by Mrs Nicholls with Mrs Lloyd and many other wonderful adults in school!

Sports Day!

Sports day was a little different this year but just as fun and competitive. Have a look at what we got up to.

What are we getting up to in Summer 1?

Science - We are finding out about plants and what we need to make them grow. We will be growing sunflowers, beans and some cress heads. We will be investigating to find the best conditions to make them flourish.

Art and British Values - We will be using the work of Keith Haring to explore our civil liberties. We will look at the messages in his work and their meaning to us.

R.E. - We begin a new R.E. enquiry where we will learn more about Hinduism. We will be exploring their attitudes to God and answering the question 'How can Brahman be everywhere and in everything?'

Maths - We start this half term completing our work on perimeter and length and then move onto fractions. The recovery part of our curriculum will focus on mass.

English - We start this half term by writing a wishing tale. We will be looking at using fronted adverbials and noun phrases in our writing.

Our knowledge organisers for this half term.

In writing we have been looking at discussion texts. We have been trying to decide whether we should come to school over the summer to make up for lost learning in lockdown.

Our art learning 🖼 

For our sensational starter, we created pictures in the style of Keith Haring. Then we practised cross hatching using the mannequins as models. After that, we looked at how we could mix primary colours to help us create more colours. 
For our magical middle, we used different painting techniques to finish our pictures.

Our Science 🧪 learning about plants 🪴 

We have been wondering what plants need to grow. We started off by making some seed model. We had lots of fun testing them 😃. Next we planted some sunflowers and put them in different places to see how well they would grow. We have checked on them every week. Next we planted bean seeds in bags without any soil. We have been checking them and are surprised to find they are growing!

We have also made cress heads and will look forward to seeing them get hairy.

This video will explain what being British and British values are all about.

Our class reader is....

This book is all about a boy who is most definitely not afraid of ghosts. The story starts on a school trip to the Space Museum. We can't wait to find out what will happen next.

English

Currently, we are writing sentences using conjunctions such as For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet or So to extend our sentences.  We use the mnemonic FANBOYS to help us to remember these.

Writing

We are learning to write sentences using FANBOYS to describe the key events in the video "Gus".  Follow the link to watch the video on You Tube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJmA_UyfZLQ
