This week we researched the seven continents. We had each table in the class set up as a different continent with maps, artefacts, information books and pictures of landmarks, food and animals from that continent. We went round the class, exploring each continent and added a stamp to our passport once we had done that. We also started our art linked to Food of Many Nations. We looked at the work of artists who painted or drew fruit and compared and contrasted the artwork, discussing what we liked and disliked.

Happy New Year! This term our topic is 'Food of Many Nations' and this week we have been finding out about where we live and which countries we have visited or lived in. In English we have been learning about the features of fiction and non-fiction and as we have been reading books we have been telling Mrs Ilsley how we know whether it is a fiction or non fiction text and what features we have spotted. In maths we have been learning all about teen numbers, writing the numeral and number word and representing the teen numbers using a range of manipulatives.

Over the past couple of weeks we have been talking about toys as part of our Who Am I? Topic. We brought our favourite toy into school to talk about and we talked about toys we had when we were younger. Next week we are going to talk about toys even further back in the past. In art we looked at portraits, realistic and abstract, and talked about which we liked and disliked and why. We had a wonderful European Day of Languages on Friday and especially enjoyed being served by Year 6 at the French cafe!

Class 3 have settled in so well and have worked really hard this week. In English we have been finding out about signs and labels. We went for a walk around school to spot signs and labels and then we made some labels of our own. We labelled items in the classroom and also in the community garden. In Maths our focus has been sorting and we have been labelling the things we have sorted. We launched our new topic Who Am I? And talked about things we remember from the past.
