Class 3 completed the fun run They showed real perseverance and didn’t give up even when it got hard. They encouraged and helped each other along so that no one was left behind. Well done Class 3, you should be super proud!
Fire!
Class 3 worked together to build fires. They used the tools and resources they could find outside and had to think carefully about how they were going build them strong enough to stay alight out in the field. Super work Class 3!
Hieroglyphics
Class 3 enjoyed carving hieroglyphics into clay which they had moulded into the trees. I wonder what messages they left behind?
Epiphany Art
We have learned about the Epiphany story and completed some beautiful silhouette art using charcoal and Tommy’s design also used chalk, he said of his finished piece that “I’m buzzing with the sky and the sand worked out better than I thought it would!”

Science ‘ROCK’ stars!
As our topic on Rocks is coming to an end here are the photos of our investigations into erosion and permeability. We discovered that some rocks are softer than others and so therefore erode faster. Also, that some rocks are more porous and so wouldn’t be suitable for certain purposes as water would pass through it.
Hooray for my Homework Heroes!
This half term’s Homework Menu has proven to be very successful and have allowed my wonderful class to explore our Science, Geography and Art topics in a variety of creative ways.
Below is a small selection of what the children have already produced.
My Homework Heroes have:
Produced an information text about Mary Anning,
Made models of their favourite North Eastern landmark,
Been on a fossil hunt and even made some at home,
Made art using rocks and sea glass,
an recreated the County Flags of our region,
Well Done Class 3!
The Lambton Worm
In our English lesson for the last 2 weeks we have been looking at The Lambton Worm – this way we could cover the Myths and Legends theme in English but also link it in with our Geography topic which is all about the North East.
More photos will follow but for now here are some of the Newspaper Reports about the Worm’s terrible ending!
The children also made a model of the worm using clay. They used the descriptions of the worm found in the famous song and in the text to help them with their models.
Celebrating Christmas with you!
The children have thought of ways of sharing their Christmas cheer with you. This is the start of their idea, more will be added as we make our way through Advent on the run up to Christmas.
Simply click on the letter to open a link to our surprise for you. We hope you like them.
Remembrance Learning
This week as well as our class book called One Boy’s War we have created poppies. The children have produced some excellent diary entries from Sidney, the lead character in this emotional and powerful story about a 15 year old boy from County Durham in World War 1. We also linked our Pointillism theme when we created pictures on Purple Mash.
