Willow Class - Term 3

In Science, the children were investigating different materials to see whether they were conductors or insulators. The children created simple circuits and tested the allocated materials to see if it would make a complete circuit. After testing a selection of materials, they began to choose random items found around the classroom.  To recognise Safer Internet Day, the children discussed ways to protect themselves when operating online before debating scenarios. The children were very insightful and came up with many ways to keep themselves safe.

 

 In Art, the children have been making prints utilising a range of materials. They have then attempted to create a repeated pattern in the style of William Morris. In PE, the children been developing their fitness, in particular, their agility. They had to use their balance and agility skills to transition throw a coned course as quickly as possible and then apply the learning in to a competition scenario. Finally, the children have been learning about the impacts of the Industrial Revolution and how it changed the landscape of many cities and the countryside.

 

 Last week in English, the children were developing their persuasive language through a Dragon’s Den style presentation. Each group prepared and perform a persuasive argument using a range of persuasive techniques. They were all amazing and very persuasive! In Science, the children have been learning and creating simple circuits, whilst learning the scientific symbols for electrical components.

 In Science, the children were tasked with identifying electrical dangers around the home and then creating a poster to showcase their findings. They have produced some amazing warning posters. In PE, the children have been developing their reflexes and co-ordination through catch and move challenges.

  

This term our topic is the Victorians and the Industrial Revolution. In class, the children have been learning how to multiply 3 digits together mentally using a range of techniques. The children competed against each other, trying to complete connect 4 with their answers. In PSHE, the children were looking at goals and dreams, and what skills they need in order to achieve them.  They were able to complete a sorting challenge about a famous sports person and how they overcame numerous hurdles to achieve their dream. Finally, a few members of the class took part in a football festival last Tuesday. They performed brilliantly against tough opposition and were a great credit to the school.
