Bones.

Our new skeleton friend (Dr Travis Skelly- as Y4P named him) has been very useful in helping us to identify the bones of the body. We now know the names of many of our bones … we can’t know them all, there’s 206!!

Today we have focused on the vertebrae and why it works so well. We inspected the skeleton and each other’s backs and guessed how many vertebrae there were. We then used pipe cleaners and straws to show how our back would be if it was one long bone.

We then worked out that by cutting the straw it would show how each vertebrae works to provide movement.

Welcome to Year 4!

What a fantastic first day we have had. We have spent the time getting to know each other through team building exercises, quizzes, class expectations and our superhero strengths and weaknesses.

Let the fun continue through the year!

Art in Paradise

Yesterday, the children had a super trip to Art in Paradise. We had lots of fun exploring the different paintings and looking at the techniques that artists employed to make their work appear 3D. Here are some photographs of what we saw. Many of these will be used to generate ideas from our writing next year!

                              

                                   

                               

                                   

                                   

                               

                                        

                                        

                               

                                

                                    

                                   

                                      

                                      

                                          

                                    

                                    

                                        

                                  

                                 

                                  

                                 

                                  

                                     

                       

                      

                               

                                   

                                   

                                   

                               

                               

                           

What a lovely way to end our last few weeks in Year 3!

News!

Over these last two weeks of term we will be consolidating our learning from the year as well as celebrating the World Cup by taking part in various activities and events. Here are some photos of how we have been consolidating the learning from our 'Time' and 'Money' units.

You're doing a wonderful job boys and girls!
