Week 8
20th October - 26th October 2025
We made it to the last week of term! Whilst we rewarded ourselves for all of the great work we've done over this half term (by watching a Hercules VHS!), we completed some Ancient Greek inspired Mosaics.
We ended the week with Show & Tell where we were treated to a show created by lots of the Year 3 girls.
Week 7
13th October - 19th October 2025
We were excited to welcome Rock Kids to our school this week. Their visit was full of music, and fun as they led lots of energetic activities that inspired creativity, confidence, and teamwork. Everyone had a great time learning, laughing, and rocking out together! Our very own Marnie even won a dance battle!
Week 6
6th October - 10th October 2025
Our topic lessons have had an ICT focus this week and we've started to bring our knowledge of Ancient Greek gods together to create our own class Top Trumps cards. This activity has allowed us to learn a range of skills including how to:
★ To format text, changing fonts, sizes of fonts, etc.
★ To combine text with images / drawings / shapes
★ To use shift key rather than caps lock to access capitals and shift characters.
★ To select colours from a palette
★ To search the web effectively for suitable images to use in our work.
★ To duplicate objects/images
Week 5
29th September - 3rd October 2025
This week we have been busy writing our 'beat the monster' stories where we pulled all of our story plans, mythical creature creations and subordinating conjunction knowledge together.
Week 4
22nd - 26th September 2025
We have been recreating temples inspired by the ancient greeks in our STEAM Station for 3 weeks now and this week, we all had a go at creating a 3D paper straw temple. This project put our measuring and symmetry skills to the test and it was quite messy as it required a lot of glue.
Week 3
15th - 19th September 2025
This week we've been learning even more about the Ancient Greeks and the famous story of Perseus and Medusa. After learning all about subordinating conjunctions, we split up into groups and played a dice game where we picked a simple Ancient Greek sentence and rolled to choose which subordinating conjunction we would use to expand these sentences. Some of the complex sentences we created turned out to be rather interesting!
Week 2
8th - 12th September 2025
What a fantastic start to the year we've had getting to know each other! Whilst we have been building our relationships, we have also been working extremely hard and getting back into the swing of things.
In science, we are learning all about nutrition, digestion and healthy living. We filled 2 small jugs with lukewarm water and created a visual representation of the stomach breaking down food into energy. We discovered that sugar dissolved more quickly than the flapjack which helps us to remember that sugary foods are broken down by our bodies much faster than more complex foods like flapjacks, giving us a quick burst of energy but not keeping us full for very long.
We are also becoming familiar with our classroom and have been exploring the new STEAM station, where we can investigate, create, and experiment with different ideas. This half term, the challenge is to create a model structure inspired by the Ancient Greeks.
