Year 3 have started using atlases to build up a knowledge of the cities that play a major role in the United Kingdom. We put our skills to the test by finding the places and then labelling a map!

Home Learning
So many of our crew have been so excited by their home learning this week! Well done to those children who’ve completed so many of the tasks, we’ve seen some fantastic progress, especially on Times Tables Rockstars 🎸
Homework sheets will be sent home on a Monday, please return these on a Friday. A simple tick on the bottom column for reading will show us that you’ve read with your child for 10mins a day, this could be using one of the apps which are on the home learning menu, a favourite book or even a reading challenge you set them!
We use all of the apps in school so the children are familiar with them 😊
Keep up the great work everyone!
Welcome back KS1!
KS1 Crews were so excited to launch their new expeditions this week, ‘The Circle of Life – How will what I do today impact the world tomorrow?’
The children were hooked into their learning by working together as artists and sculptors to create their own own ocean dioramas, craft sea creatures and participated in a virtual author workshop to learn how to create some of the beautiful illustrations that we found in our core text ‘The Blue Giant’. We have some budding artists! Keep you eyes peeled for the finished ocean dioramas on Monday!
This week we visit The Deep, in Hull. We can’t wait to go on an ocean adventure!
Have a lovely weekend, everyone 😊

Happy new year everyone! We hope you had a wonderful Christmas.
It has been so lovely to welcome all the children back into school. We have had a busy couple of days! Children have made a great start to hook week, they have taken part in both a Geography day and a Science day. The children have really enjoyed both days and have made a great start thinking about our next expedition.
On Monday children thought hard about climate change, what it is, how it has an impact on the world we live in and what we can do to help. We watched a variety of clips to support us with this. We then thought about climate change in our local area and the wider world.
From here we started to think about the benefits of rainforests. We used a variety of media to support us with this. Next we started to think about what Geography was. We discussed the different types of Geography and our thoughts on our next case study. From here we started to discuss key terms and showed these terms on a map and atlas. We then got creative and took part in an activity outside looking at key terms. We had to use a map and coordinates to do this.
In the afternoon we started to think about the country Colombia. We worked together and took part in a Kahoot quiz. We then built a bank of facts for our display. After this we looked at the story of coffee before taking part in some Colombian dancing!

Just a reminder that Years 3 and 4 have their PE on a Thursday and Friday. Please make sure the children wear warm clothing and a jacket, as it will be cold when they are outside 😃
