CLASS 4W 2018-2019

Welcome To 4W

Welcome to 4W, we have made a fantastic start to the year settling in to our new class and routines. This term (Autumn 2) we will be learning about electricity in science, continuing to find out about the Ancient Egyptians and starting our swimming sessions on a Friday. We are looking forward to our trip to Derby Museum on the 21st November - we will share photographs of this on our class page.

Sound Fountain

We had a fantastic afternoon with Jove's mum learning about sound waves, and hertz watching the sound fountain.

Year 4 Ancient Egypt Homework

We had a lovely afternoon playing the board games we had designed with a focus on Ancient Egypt. Our games were all really different and exciting to play.

Derby Museum Trip

4W had a great time exploring all the different rooms and artefacts around the museum in the morning, after lunch we met Aziza the wife of an Egyptian advisor to the Pharaoh. She taught us about her life in Egypt. We also had a go at mummifying one of the class. We made our own Shabti's to go in the pyramid with us. We all found the real mummy fascinating. What a great day !!

Chinese New Year

We had a great time meeting our visitors from China. They taught us all about Chinese New Year and the different ways it is celebrated. We especially loved creating our ink panda pictures.

Castleton

We had a fantastic residential trip to Castleton in March. We did lots of activities in preparation for our new topic on Rivers. Gem panning was very popular along with Fossil hunting. However the class agreed our favourite activity was the River walk, we were very wet by the end of it but had a great time with our friends.

3S Panthers Day at Nottingham Ice Arena

On the 28th November, 3W visited the local Gurdwara on Haydn Road. We had a fantastic time learning about Sikhism, visiting the prayer room and even getting to try some sweets!

Here are some of our diary entries from when Mount Vesuvius erupted. The whole class worked so hard on this piece of work, some are proudly hanging in our classroom and the rest are displayed in the school hall. Come in and have a look!

Our amazing volcano themed homework!

Roman Day!

In Science, we have been learning all about light and dark. Whilst we had some lovely sunny weather, we drew around shadows that we could find outside! We now know how and why shadows are formed.

Whilst learning about instructions, we followed a recipe to make rocky road! We then wrote our own set of instructions on how to make it. Can you remember how to make it?

17th October

We have had such an amazing first half term in Year 3! In literacy, we have been retelling Boudicca's story, writing a diary entry as a citizen of Pompeii when Mount Vesuvius erupted, created our own stories and even created our own set of instructions when we made rocky road! What a lot of learning we have been doing!

In maths, we have been busy practising column addition, column subtraction, practising our times tables, looking at properties of 3D shapes and learning about the meaning of the word inverse. Can you remember what it means?

Look at our Roman themed homework!

Welcome to 3W!

Welcome to year 3 ! What an exciting year we are going to have! We are so pleased and proud how well all of the children have settled into the juniors. All of the children seem to have done a lot of growing up over the summer, especially with their confidence!

This first half term is based all around the Rotten Romans. We really appreciate all of the continued support sending in your Roman themed pieces of homework. We have had some fantastic pieces so far! We are very excited to celebrate Roman Day on the 19th October.
