3F
Autumn 2
This term our theme is 'Rock On.' We will be learning about rocks and soils in science and finding out about Mary Anning. Our history topic is 'From the Stone Age to the Iron Age,' and we will be looking at what life was like in Britain many, many years ago. We launched our theme on the first day when we read 'How to Wash a Woolly Mammoth.' There are lots of other exciting learning opportunities ahead as well. Keep checking our class page to see some of the activities that we have experienced.
Please note that P.E. will be on Mondays throughout this half term.
English
In English, we have been looking at instructional texts. We started by reading 'How to Wash a Woolly Mammoth,' (which we really enjoyed!). Later on, we read a set of instructions about 'How to Make a Woolly Mammoth,' which we followed and created our own woolly mammoths...look at the photos below to see how well they turned out!
Science
In science, we have been learning about the properties of rocks. We used magnifying glasses to make careful observations. There were lots of words which we used to describe the rocks and we created some calligrams for the different vocabulary.
English
In English, we have been reading the instructional text 'How to Wash a Woolly Mammoth' by Michelle Robinson. On Wednesday, we discovered that lots of our toy animals had been rolling around in the mud so we decided that they also needed a bath! We talked about what we were doing using imperative (bossy) verbs. Everyone did a great job and the animals are now lovely and clean....but for how long?! Look at our photos below to see how well we did.
Autumn 1
Geography
This half term, we have been looking at how land is used in the local area. We have enjoyed visits to Ryecroft Park, a virtual tour of the Snipe Retail Park and a walk to Ashton Moss Nature Reserve. In class, we have been recording some of our findings in our Google Classroom and we've been drawing maps of the local area. Below are some of the photos taken on our adventures!

Ryecroft Park (during Great Big Green Week)
Maths
We enjoy our maths. Here we are using our place value grids and counters to investigate number.
Design and Technology
In DT, we have become soup testers. We then designed and made our own nutritional soup and included different foods from the different food groups. After we had made our soup, we evaluated it and most of us decided that it was delicious!
National Fitness Day
We took part in National Fitness Day on Wednesday 22nd September. Key Stage 2 gathered in the playground and had an energetic workout with Mrs Hind.
George's Marvellous Medicine
We are really enjoying this great book by Roald Dahl. Today (20th September), we created our own amazing potions. We explored different parts of the playground where we found lots of interesting ingredients. Have a look at our photos below.

Our Visit to the Moravian Settlement in Droylsden
On Tuesday 18th September we visited the Fairfield Moravian settlement. We had a great morning and learned lots of interesting facts about the settlement.
