First Day Back Together

Some photos that have been shared with me this week. A big da iawn to those who are working just as hard but haven't had chance to share any pictures.

Sports day results. Da iawn Bangor! House points have been awarded to everyone involved in each event. Extra house points were awarded for 1st place (5 house points) 2nd place (3 house points) and 3rd place (2 house points) in each event.

Handwriting Competition Winners

This week, your handwriting competition was judged by Mrs Thomas in Year 4. All of your names were taken off your work and sent as images so that Mrs Thomas did not know who had written each piece. She found this job very challenging! You have all been awarded a house points for effort.

1st place, 5 house points. - Jasmine Lancaster

2nd place,3 house points. - Harriet Marsh

Joint 3rd place, 2 house points each. - Gracie-May and Erin Addis

Most improved, 5 house points - Erin Addis.

Erin completes her handwriting practise every single week. The difference between the last handwriting competition and this week's competition really shows the hard work she has put in. Da iawn Erin!

What is sound?

In Year 3, we have been looking at how sound travels. We have looked at how sound is created when an object vibrates and how different types of vibrations can create a different pitch. We then began to explore the different sounds we could create and made some instruments of our own.

Project work photos. Videos to follow :)

Show and tell with Amelia.

Amelia has been doing something very special at home during lockdown. She has been updating me with pictures and videos every week. I thought it would be nice to put these videos together for you a little show and tell for you all.

Max went above and beyond with his physical project this week. He created a fair experiment to find out which type of ball produced the best results.

Summer term 2020

Year three have been busy outdoors this week! We have been sorting natural objects into those that float and those that sink to find the best material to use to safely carry a small toy across steady waters.

Grammar detectives.

Year three have been working really hard for the past two weeks looking at important features used when writing instructions. They began by looking at each feature individually and progressed to identify these features in examples of work. They have been acting as 'detectives' hunting for mistakes. This has helped them improve their understanding of the importance of spelling, punctuation and grammar. Their hard work throughout these two weeks enabled them to produce a well written and detailed set of instructions.

Here's a little video to celebrate their success.
