Week ending 4th November
Posted: Nov 4, 2022 by: Zoe Watkins (ZWatkins) on: Class 3
After a fantastic half term holiday and a spooky Halloween, we set to work with great enthusiasm!
In RE we learnt about Moses when he was a baby. He was placed in a basket and sent down a river.
In Maths this week, we were learning even more about column addition and subtraction. We have practised so many in our books making sure our presentation was as neat as it could be!
We wrote some book reviews of some of our favourite books this week; we can read each other’s reviews to decide which book may be fun or interesting to read!
In Geography we learnt about COP 27, we had discussions about climate changes that are need to keep our planet safe. We must try to keep global warming below 1.5 degrees each year.
In Literacy, we are continuing to read the story of The Iron Man and his adventures. We focused on the scrap metal yard, filled with rusty old metal springs, wires, rusty trains, car bumpers, old trucks, cranes, diggers, engines, tractors, dusty pipes, nails and screws. This is the favourite place for the Iron Man to feast. Our main focus was the setting of the scrap yard location for the Iron Man and our written descriptions of what could be found there. We also talked about sounds that could be heard. Pop, whizz, crackle, crunch, bang, rustling, squeaking, creaking, crash, scraping and clanging. These are called onomatopoeia words. Smells might have included oil, burning, grease and rubber tyres. We used lots of noun phrases to help set the scene and to help the reader imagine what it looked like.
In PE, we got out the gym equipment: a bench, three platforms one big, one medium and one small and lots of mats. We practised our balancing, climbing and jumping. It was lots of fun.
In Art, we drew the Iron Man using lots of different art materials such as oil pastels, graphite sticks and coloured pencils. We drew all the fine details that make up the Iron Man – cogs, wire, buttons, switches, springs, machinery, wheels, pipes and the different types of metal.
Our favourite dinner this week was southern fried chicken.
We finished the week by investigating cars. We tested them on different surfaces to see if the friction on the surfaces changed how the car moved. We finished with a race of the cars across the hall. We had a crash in the final race and so reran it. We had a lot of fun!

Well done this week everyone. You have been amazing as usual.
If you are visiting a bonfire this weekend, please keep each other safe and have lots and lots of fun.
