The class have been learning about solids, liquids and gases. This week they have been learning about what evaporation is and what causes condensation. They had to explain what happens to the water when washing is on the line then the children looked at what happens to the window when hot water is put in […]

Today we made our own wattle. We had to cut down slim branches and cut off the leaves before we weaved with them. We decided that teepee’s were easier and quicker although wattle would have lasted longer.      

Everyone is enjoying tag rugby and we are playing fun games to practice our tagging and throwing.            

We learnt about gases today by predicting what would happen to raisins in a glass of lemonade. We had fun watching!    

We went into the forest to learn about how Stone Age people used to live. We looked at real artefacts and learned how they would use them. The children pretended they were hunters and gatherers and went quietly through the forest and we also made charcoal to draw our cave paintings with.        […]

To link in with our PE, we were very lucky in 3 Laurel to have two of our classmates Mums in to talk to us about Divali and to let us try some Indian food. It was delicious!        

We have been finding the definitions of words that we are concentrating on this week in our spelling. We are investigating the words in which ‘ch’ makes the ‘sh’ sound. We thought of words and looked up their meaning using our alphabetical skills.  

The class started tag rugby this week and really enjoyed learning how to hold and throw the ball.      

In 3 Laurel we are working with each other to produce a Diwali dance. We have to listen to the music, remember our posture, work with partners or groups and put it all together!     

To go with our Take One Book that we were reading last week we made bird cakes today on the coldest day ever! Hot chocolate and a biscuit indoors soothed the frozen hands a little!!
