This week we have enjoyed talking about and writing about our trip to Eureka. In Science we have been naming parts of our body and learning that humans are mammals. We have started the art for our Who Am I? Topic. We have been looking at a range of portraits by different artists in different styles and have been doing skills such as exploring sketching pencils and different sorts of paint brushes, sketching facial features and colour mixing, ready for drawing and painting our own portraits next week.

We have worked hard to complete our moving pictures based on our favourite toys in Design and Technology. We planned, made and then evaluated our finished pictures and discussed what we liked about our moving pictures and what we would change next time.

In Class 3 we have continued our work on toys as part of our topic, Who Am I? .  We have found out about toys in Victorian times and looked at how they are different to the toys we play with today. We were historians, looking for clues to find out whether toys were old and new and explaining why. We learned to play the sort of playground games children played in Victorian times and we set up a 'Time Travellers' Toyshop' role-play area. We have also been learning all about Mae Jemison for our Black History Month focus.

We have had a very busy week in Class 3. In English we have been reading The Train Ride by June Crebbin and we acted out the story. In Design and Technology we have been learning the skills we need to make moving pictures. We have been making pictures with pivots and sliders.  In Science we have been on an Autumn walk, looking for signs of Autumn but also signs of which animals share our space. We found fox holes, spider webs, birds nests and we found leaves, pine cones and apples that had been nibbled by creatures. We spotted a butterfly, woodlice , spiders, beetles, birds and also looked in the hedgehog home that has been built in the community garden.

In Class 3 this week we have continued our Who Am I? topic by talking about toys we play with now and toys we played with in the past,  as babies and toddlers. We brought in a favourite toy from home and showed it to the class and talked about what it is, what is made of and why we chose it. We then wrote about our toy in English. We also worked together to make a questionnaire to send home to our parents to tell us about what toys our parents and grandparents used to play with.
Our certificate winners this week are:

In Class 3 we have had a very busy week with lots of outdoor learning. In English we were learning about labels, signs and captions and we labelled everything we could find in the community garden. In Science we have been talking about the seasons and we went on a walk to answer the question 'Are all leaves the same?'. We collected leaves to look at, draw and create leaf prints with. We have also started our topic Who Am I?. We read the book Once There Were Giants and talked about how we have changed since we were babies.
