LKS2

3B had the opportunity to visit Canning Town library. They enjoyed an interactive read of the Three Billy Goats which linked to their English learning last term on the book ‘Troll Stinks’. They learnt about the resources available to them there and were also invited to take part in the Winter Reading Challenge. 

This term, the children have been enjoying spending time on the ukuleles, learning the C, F and G chords and playing along following the melody. 

On Wednesday 22nd January, Year 3 took part in a fantastic workshop linked to their history unit all about the Stone Age. During the workshop, children got the chance to live like a Stone Age person! They learnt about hunting, farming, building and examined many artefacts. It was such an informative and engaging day! 

In year 3, we have been looking at patterns and motifs in our art lessons. In this lesson we were mixing colours and then practicing using a variety of brush techniques like dabbing and streaking. 

In Religion we have been learning about the time when Peter declared is faith and believed Jesus his the Messiah. Faith is like a shield that helps guide use and protect us through life. We showed this by creating and decorating our own shields to declare our faith. 

Year 4 visited the Roman Amphitheatre in the Guildhall art gallery. This was part of our History Unit the Romans. Year 4 had the chance to use this enquiry skills to find out more about different artefacts from the Roman period. They also had a chance to pretend to be gladiators in an arena. 

In Science, Year 4 have been learning about teeth and keeping our teeth healthy. We have been investigating the effects of different drinks on our teeth. To investigate this we kept eggs in different drinks such as coffee, cola, prime, orange juice and pickle juice to see the effect it can have on teeth. So far we have observed some drinks can cause the egg shell to peel or flake away and others have caused the egg to burst.
