Class 7 have continued to work hard all the way up to finishing for the holiday. They have loved learning about Light and shadows and how these change size depending on how near or far yo are from the solid object. They also worked together as a class to discuss and sort statements about relationships online, family and friends. They all were clear on not sharing any personal information with someone you don't know online. A fantastic term Class 7! Well done!

Class 7 have had a great week learning about division in maths. They started by using concrete materials to solve calculations and built up their understanding over the week to then solve word problems by the end. They carried out experiments in science to find the best and worst reflective materials. In PE they had to work as a team and communicate well with each other to achieve the task. They did brilliantly!

Class 7 were looking at fact and opinion in their PSHE lesson this week. We talked about if it was a fact you could research and find it. However, if it's opinion then it is each persons opinion and these can be varied because we are all different. We started with mind mapping peoples opinion about the best thing at playtime. Then, the children were given the statement 'Pizza is the best food to eat'. The children had thinking time to decide in their opinion did they agree or disagree. They made points to debate on their iPads. Before we started we shared rules about respecting others opinion. Then we held our debate. About a third of the class agreed and two thirds disagreed and they all shared why. We had a respectful but heated debate.

Class 7 have been learning all about forces in science and this week we investigated the force 'friction'. The children had different surfaces to test the toy car on to see which surface produced the most friction. The class decided on a question - Which surface will create the most and least friction? They made some clever predictions, carried out fair tests by only changing the surface and found out that carpet had the most friction and silk had the least friction. They were all super scientists.

Class 7 have had a fantastic start to the year showing lots of enthusiasm for their learning and asking lots of interesting questions.
In English we have been making predictions about our book Harry and the Jaggedy Daggers. They have used dictionaries to find meanings of new vocabulary in the book and uplevelled simple sentences so they are exciting to read.
In Maths we have been looking at Place Value covering counting forwards and backwards, working out missing numbers from numbers up to 1000. The class have partitioned numbers and made the numbers using equipment to show they know the value of each digit. Yhey have also been working on their 4x tables by singing times table songs, playing games, making the 4x table with equipment and chanting them.
In PSHE we have been looking at Rules and Responsibilities. The children had so much to say building on previous learning about rules in class, school, home, mosque and in life. They remembered Greenhill's BUCKET rules and showed this through team work and drama. Together they came up with Class 7's rules so they BEING THE BEST THEY CAN BE!
A fabulous start start to the new year Class 7! Well done!

This half term the children have been learning all about Skeletons in their science lessons.
They have learnt why our skeletons are important and have also taken part in an experiment to see if all skeletons are the same size.
The children had to measure eachothers heads, feet and arms. They concluded that all skeletons are different sizes.
They have also created a power point about skeletons.
Ask your child to show you their power point on their iPad.

This week Year three have been celebrating curriculum week.
The children listened to the story:
The children described the purple character in the story. They used similes and conjunctions to improve their writing.
Some of the similes they included were 'as cool as a cucumber, as round as a ball, as loud as a lion'.
They also tried to include different conjunctions such as; when, before, after, while and because.
Towards the end of the week the children wrote a speech from the Blue family introducing the colour Purple. They worked extremely hard on their handwriting and spelling skills. They used vocabulary linked to the type of character they were pretending to be.
The children also took part in drama where they used different techniques to act out the story.
During the afternoons the children took part in some art lessons. They practiced shading using coloured pencils and paint. They then created a picture of the purple character using their shading skills.

We cannot wait to be able to take them home with us next week!
