Year 3 Pans Concert 

Here's a throwback to the Year 3 Steel Pans concert which they performed before the summer holidays.  Every child in Year 3 had been learning the Steel Pans for the year and each group performed a different song.  They decided on the arrangements for the songs and at the end of the concert they showed their grown-ups their individual parts.  This academic year, we are looking forward to children in Years 3, 4 and 5 learning steel pans as part of our music curriculum.  

Year 3 Musical Performance 

The children have been asked by the author of award winning, wordless book ‘Tuesday’ to compose and perform some music that could be played alongside the story. It’s a fantastic, rich text which the children had fantastic reactions to! We will be learning all about different genres of music, different instruments and the sounds they make before composing, producing and performing their own music.  Earth class will also be focusing on the science behind sound; how sounds are made, how they travel, how sounds differ in pitch and how sounds differ in volume.

Ancient Egyptians

Year 3 outcome to parents this afternoon. The children were challenged by the local history society to teach them about the Ancient Egyptians. These blue boards will be 'sent' to the history society so they can learn from Year 3.

Earth composers 

Earth class had the honour of performing their musical creations in front of some of their parents on Wednesday! They were challenged to compose and perform a song to the wordless book, Tuesday, and what a fantastic job they did! The children thought her carefully about each page and how to use their instruments to reflect what was happening. Super stars! 

Poetry the Venus Fly Trap 

Wow! the author Michael Rosen has responded to our tweet. The year 3 children were so excited when Miss Clark showed them his response this morning. He's right of course all our children are amazing poets.

The Ancient Eqyptians

Earth class spent their half term learning all about the Ancient Egyptians. They were fascinated by the weird and wonderful things the Ancient Egyptians did and took a real interest in the mummification process and tombs! We spent time learning about tombs, mummification and the afterlife and the children planned and made their very own tomb models. The children were so proud to show these off to their parents and carers after school and were able to use fantastic historical vocabulary to explain each part of the tomb. What a wonderful bunch of historians Earth class are! 

Welcome to our school 

Earth class have been focusing on Welcoming in RE, relating to Palm Sunday. They were asked to make a booklet which would make people feel welcomed if they are visiting or if they are new to the school.
