This week we have written the story of Charlie Stinky Socks and the Hunt for the Mummy's Gold. We wrote a whole book with some new clues of our own. This was our best big write and we loved being the authors and illustrators of our own book. Everyone's book is on display in class and we are so proud of them.

This week in Class 7 have been looking at pollination and the life cycle of a plant. Science is all around us, and one of the most exciting ways to connect with it is by having the hands on experiences of the parts of a plant and flower.
This activity is an ideal way to bring science to life where children can see all the parts of a flower and what each part plays in the life cycle.
The children had to dissect a flower and label a drawing at the same time when they found that part. They saw the pollen and opened the ovule to see the seeds. The children were amazed and were amazing too!

This week in Class 7 we celebrated British Science Week, it's the perfect time to explore the wonders of nature right in our own classrooms and gardens! Science is all around us, and one of the most exciting ways to connect with it is by planting and growing our own food. This year, we’re focusing on a hands-on activity that’s perfect for students of all ages: deseeding and planting tomato seeds!
Tomatoes are not only delicious and healthy, but they are also a fantastic way to engage with biology, sustainability, and the science behind plant growth. Growing tomatoes from seed is a great learning experience that connects students to the natural world and shows how tiny seeds can transform into the food we enjoy every day.
This activity is an ideal way to bring science to life during British Science Week. Not only does it promote environmental awareness, but it also provides a fantastic opportunity for students to learn about plant biology, photosynthesis, and the lifecycle of a plant—all while fostering a sense of achievement as they watch their plants grow!
We had the best afternoon ever!

Class 7 enjoyed their science learning this week where they became paleontologists or fossil hunters. They recreated the many layers of sand and mud that forms sedimentary rock then went on a dig to find the fossils. They drew fossil drawings and explained the process of how a fossil is formed. Well done Class 7!

Class 7 have had a lovely start back to school. They have been writing and performing poetry in English, recapping place value in maths and took part in a Wow Starter for their topic on Ancient Egypt. Children researched the era, painted fellucas on the Nile, mummified dolls, made a headress, were archaeologists and wrote their names in hieroglyphics. Despite it being the first week back and a whole week of indoor play times due to the freezing weather, the children said they wanted to stay in school all night to continue to wow afternoon.

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.

This half term year three have been learning all about the Stone Age.
They started their learning with a visit from a drama school who explored the Stone Age through drama.
They then took part in a WOW afternoon where they were able to carve tools, research the different periods of time and create cave paintings.
The children enjoyed recreating a picture of Stone Henge using water colours and collage.
