D.T Week

Our topic this term was 'A healthy and varied diet'. We decided to make delicious and nutritious salads. First, we conducted a survey to find out what ingredients our peers like, then we carried out a taste test to try out some new foods. After that, we completed our design brief and wrote 'How to make a salad' instructions. Lastly, we had such fun learning chopping techniques and making our salads.

Congratulations to Eve & Theo for being chosen as stand-out scientists for Science Week 2021

Science Week 08.03.21

We used our planning from Monday’s lesson to build our bridges in groups. We had a variety of materials to use, such as straws, card, Blu Tack and tape. Then we tested their strength by putting a cup with multi-link blocks in. We started with 10 blocks and gradually increased them to test the sturdiness.

Science Week 08.03.21

We investigated friction with a variety of materials – astro turf, nylon, hessian, cotton and bubble wrap. We used a ‘ramp’ and car to measure at which height the car started to move on each surface.

Science Week 08.03.21

We had such fun acting out a scene from Now Press Play. Our Science topic is Forces and we learnt about friction, different surfaces and gravity too.

Design and Technology week - 07.12.20

In Year 3, we designed and made purses. Firstly, we discussed and tested which material would suit best. We then designed our product, making sure to keep the target market in mind. We learnt and practised how to do a 'running stitch' and an 'overstitch'. After that, we experimented with different joining techniques. In the end, we decided to go with a simple Velcro closure. Finally, when the hard work was finished, we gave our purses a personal touch with fabric stickers.

Black History Month

During Black History Month we learnt about various black trail blazers and how innovative people have impacted our lives and changed the world for the better. We learnt about the extraordinary Malorie Blackman and used our computing skills to research her interesting life and career. Our art piece, inspired by Jon Daniel's 'Afro Supa Heroes', was of the inspirational Desmund Tutu.
