In class 3P it has been great to have such an enthusiastic start to the second part of the autumn half term.
Music
Music this week was very exciting as we started the first of our sessions with our Violas on Monday. We have been learning songs about the different parts of the instrument to the tune of 'Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes'. How many different parts can you remember? We also learnt how to hold the instrument correctly, it was a lot harder that we thought!
Science
This week we enjoyed taking part in a world record attempt; to be part of the worlds largest maths and science lesson. First of all, we learnt how DNA is the building blocks for life and designed our own characters with their own DNA coding. We then built models of DNA.
Maths
We have made excellent progress with fractions this week. We are feeling much more confident recognising, identifying and using diagrams and equipment to show fractions, counting in fractions and even spotting equivalent fractions. All in one week!
Next week we will be finishing of our fractions work by finding fractions of an amount and moving on to our next unit: Data.
Literacy
We had fun this week listening to the work of Michael Rosen and identifying different techniques used in performance poetry. We had a go at performing poems, changing the tempo and volume of our voice and performing the words with our bodies.
We have also been using our senses to describe the atmosphere and feelings at different times of the day; producing some excellent poetry of our own about the night time. We combined this with our marbling art work to create some stunning atmospheric pieces of work.
Finally, a massive well done to those children earning their Read to Succeed owls. Many of us are now well on our way to earning our t-shirt. Keep up the good work!
