WE ARE COMPASSIONATE

The children have been looking at how pollution is damaging the oceans. We explored how much litter we could find on the school site and recycled it into artwork of aquatic creatures.

The team-work and positivity of our students towards each other when rehearsing for our Callover was wonderful to see.

PLANTING

Year 3 have been tending their planters outside their classroom planting different bulbs and tomatoes. The children have done this as part of their enquiry into how food is made.

WE ARE INDEPENDENT

Our 3I students were very proud of their fundraising efforts in support of Ukranian refugees and counted the money they raised as part of a Maths lesson.

Elsa and Luca were curious about life in Roman times, so used information books to find out more and then wrote about what they had found out.

In the Spring term the children looked at Life Under Water. They chose one of their favourite under water creatures to research by using iPads and reading books to find out interesting facts about the animals diet, habitat and appearance.

The children have learned to read and re-read instructions in order to be able to tackle Maths problems independently.

WE ARE CURIOUS

In 3R children explored how the Romans used aqueducts to provide their expanding settlements with more fresh water. They tried to make their own from paper to better understand some of the issues faced by Ancient Roman Engineers.

The children in 3I were curious about what gives water droplets their shape, so conducted an experiment to investigate how and why they are formed.

3R investigated how the Ancient Romans developed tactics to allow their armies to be more successful.
