In our Geography lessons we have been reading about Eddie and his tent so today we took our own tent to find the best place to put it on our field.
We have also been working hard in English to develop our knowledge of fables. We have looked at the features, identified them and are preparing to write our own.
In our Science lessons we carried out our own investigation to find out how different things move on a variety of surfaces.
In Geography this week we have been using the index in our atlas to find coastal towns.
In our English lessons we are enjoying looking at poetry and writing some of our own.
We have been completing our watercolour Seascapes that are in the style of JMW Turner. We also painted colour wheels.
We began the new half term with a visit from Catherine who came from Epping Forest Museum to share artefacts and information about the Stone Age in the Lee Valley. It was a great way to start our new history topic.
We have our started our DT topic - Stone Age fashion and today we made the patterns for our Stone Age tshirts. We pinned them to our piece of hessian. It was very tricky but we were very resilient.
Today we completed our Stone Age T-shirts and we are very happy with the finished products.

Tuesday, July 12th Today Hero class completed their photo frames in their DT lesson.
Wednesday, July 6th This morning Hero class enjoyed a maths day shape hunt in our school grounds. We were so surprised by the amount of different shapes we found.
This week in year 3 we have enjoyed some collaborative writing.
This week we have begun our DT topic. We will be making photo frames and because they are free standing structures we challenged ourselves to make a free standing bridge and tried to make it hold as many cubes as possible. We worked out how to make paper stronger by folding, rolling and twisting it.
Fieldwork A walk in our local area
Hero class enjoyed a walk in the sunshine to Cheshunt Park. They followed a route set out on their maps and stopped at various points along the way to carry out a survey and make their sketches. Finally they enjoyed some well earned recreational time in the park.
In our Art lessons we have been looking at portraits and drawing our friends in various poses.
In our recent English topic, the children have worked hard to create poems about a 'special object'. In Penguin class, we decided to make that 'special object' the class mascot...Reggie the teddy! The children wrote poems about him, using descriptive techniques to describe their feelings towards him.
Here are two examples:

In Maths, Penguin Class have been looking at fractions. As part of a mid-topic revision lesson, children were asked to display some of what they have learnt on a poster. Here is an example:
