On Wednesday, Year 2 children joined Class 3 on a trip to Saltwell Park with Mrs Bainbridge and Miss Dryden. We enjoyed stories in French and English!
Luckily the rain stayed off and the sun even managed to make an appearance.
We enjoyed our picnic a safe distance away from the geese!
Everyone enjoyed the park, the children and staff!
It was a great day and the children were very well behaved. Great times!
Wow! Most of Class 3 turned out to the Ryton Festival to showcase their African songs that they have been learning and practising with Mrs Kirkland. It was a lovely afternoon, they looked very professional on the stage and sounded fantastic!
They were so good that the BBC filmed their singing and they were on the news tonight!
Well done Class 3 and thank you to Mrs Kirkland for all the practising! You have a VERY proud teacher :)
What a busy and stressful week we have had! In Class 3 we made job adverts, designed interview questions, filled in application forms, short listed applicants and held interviews!!!
We were pretty nervous for our interviews and really wanted the job. Well done to all those children who were successful in their application!
We are fully prepared for job applications and interiews when we're older now! (Although, I'm not sure how often a job for a professional wrestler will come up!)
It is amazing how good Class 3 are at division when Smarties are involved! This week we are revising how to do division practically so Mrs Bainbridge (as always!) thought about sweets!!!
The more calculations we got right, the more Smarties we could eat!
Last week, we measured a bar of space icecream cookie sandwich so that we could plan and make packaging. First of all, we used squared paper to make a net that worked. Then, we used our paper net to help us make a cardboard version.

It was our Creativity week last week and Mrs Bainbridge managed to get maths involved with our PE!
We had to measure how far we could jump, how high we could jump and we had lots of activities to complete within a minute.
We have had a lovely trip today to the National Glass Centre in Sunderland. We went to support our work on materials but it also linked with our Art work too! We watched a fantastic glass blowing demonstration and then painted self-portraits on glass tiles. Our guide said that we were the most well behaved and quietest class she had ever had at the Centre! Well done :)
Before we left we had to visit the gift shop and then walk on the glass roof! It was really good but Mrs Bainbridge was too scared to stay on, especially when we jumped up and down!
I am trying to upload our trip video but having technical troubles! Keep checking to see if we get it up and running.
Class 3 have been very lucky recently because Miss Smith, our student teacher, has been teaching us basic Karate in our PE sessions.
We have learnt to kick and punch.
Miss Smith even brought her black belt in to show us! We were very impressed!
Class 3 have been creating some art work. We needed a bright colourful background so we chose paint blowing! By using neon coloured paint and a lot of breath we have created some very jazzy pieces! Just what we need for our finished piece.
Class 3 have been visiting the CLC to use their green screen. We have created a 'physi kids' DVD of our own. We have used a boom mic, green screen, cd player and video camera. Keep checking for our finished copy on here!
What a day we have had in Class 3! We travelled all the way to Heworth CLC to work on their computers and their software. We composed some Groovy Jungle music, sent emails to each other and even created a comic strip! Such a busy day and hardly anytime for lunch!
Last week, we went to the Hancock Museum and it was fantastic! We had a chance to look at all sorts of Egyptian artefacts. We saw a real mummy!
Watch our fantastic photo stories that will tell you all about our lovely day!
Class Three have been learning about the festival of Diwali. They have made cards, poems, Rangoli patterns and finally, divas! The children made coil clay pots and then decorated them when they were dry. Miss Cowley kindly gave some tealights to put inside them.
Alex was very proud of his diva!
Class 3 have been so busy! In our literacy lessons, we found instructions on how to make another kind of Death Mask. It only had the diagrams to follow but we tried really hard and we ended up with these!
Watch our video to see how we made our masks, it shows each step!
Today we have been measuring! We couldn't use the metre sticks because they don't bend so we had to measure on card and then measure with the metre sticks. It was good fun but we left our shoes on so there were no smelly feet!
Well our Tutankhamun Death Masks are finished! It took 2 patient afternoons and a lot of fiddly fingers, but they're worth it.
We managed to do Literacy, History and DT all in one task!
